13. The goods of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, And like a great thunder in rain shall go off in noise.
14. In opening his hands a man shall be made glad: So shall transgressors utterly fail.
15. The children of the ungodly shall not put forth many branches; And are as unclean roots upon a sheer rock.
16. The sedge that grows upon every water and bank of a river Shall be plucked up before all grass.
17. Bounty is as a garden of blessings, And almsgiving endures for ever.
18. The life of one that labores, and is contented, shall be made sweet; And he that finds a treasure is above both.
19. Children and the building of a city establish a man’s name; And a blameless wife is counted above both.
20. Wine and music rejoice the heart; And the love of wisdom is above both.
21. The pipe and the lute make pleasant melody; And a pleasant tongue is above both.
22. Your eye shall desire grace and beauty; And above both the green blade of corn.
