24Some people give their money generously to poor people, but they become richer in spite of that, and some people hold tightly to their money, but they still become poor in spite of that.
25Those who give generously to others will prosper; if you help others, they/someone will help you, too.
26People curse/despise someone who hoards his grain and does not sell it, waiting to get a higher/bigger price for it, but they praise someone who sells it when people need it, even when the price is not high.
27If you sincerely want to do what is right, people will respect you, but if you are wanting to cause trouble, trouble is what you will get.
28Those who trust in their money will disappear like the withered leaves that fall from the trees, but righteous people will keep going strong, like green leaves in the summer.
29Those who bring troubles to their families will inherit nothing MET from them, and those who do foolish things like that will some day become the servants of wise people.
30Those who live righteously will live for a long time, but those who act violently will destroy their own lives (OR, those who are wise will have many people come and live with them).
31Sometimes righteous people are rewarded here on the earth, but it is much more certain that very wicked people DOU will be rewarded by being punished.
