24There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: And there are some also who gather, yet have less.
25Every sincere soul is blessed: But a passionate man is not graceful.
26May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: But blessing be on the head of him that gives it.
27He that devises good counsels seeks good favor: But as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him.
28He that trusts in wealth shall fall; But he that helps righteous men shall rise.
29He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; And the fool shall be servant to the wise man.
30Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; But the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.
31If the righteous scarcely be saved, Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
