23The desire of the righteous is only good, The hope of the wicked is transgression.
24There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
25A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.
26Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a blessing is for the head of him who is selling.
27Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing, And whoso is seeking evil — it meeteth him.
