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 favour: 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?
