|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | A liberal soul is made fat, || And whoever is watering, he also is watered. | Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. | A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. | |
| 26 | Whoever is withholding grain, the people execrate him, || And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling. | The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it. | People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell. | |
| 27 | Whoever is earnestly seeking good || Seeks a pleasing thing, || And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him. | Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it. | Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it. | |
| 28 | Whoever is confident in his wealth falls, || And as a leaf, the righteous flourish. | Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. | Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. | |
| 29 | Whoever is troubling his own house inherits wind, || And the fool [is] a servant to the wise of heart. | Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. | Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. | |
| 30 | The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, || And whoever is taking souls [is] wise. | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise. | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives. | |
| 31 | Behold, the righteous is repaid in the earth, || Surely also the wicked and the sinner! | If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner! | If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner! | |
