23. The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24. There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
25. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27. He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour: but he that searcheth after mischief, it shall come unto him.
28. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29. He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
