24There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] only to want.

25The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.

28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls.
