31. The heart of the wise is understood in wisdom, and a good ear will hear wisdom with all desire.

32. A wise heart, and which hath understanding, will abstain from sine, and in the works of justice shall have success.

33. Water quencheth a flaming fire, and alms resisteth sins:

34. And God provideth for him that sheweth favour: he remembereth him afterwards, and in the time of his fall he shall find a sure stay.
