| 25 | A generous person will be enriched, and the one who provides water for others will himself be satisfied. | 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 | People will curse the one who withholds grain, but they will praise the one who sells it. | 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 | The one who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but the one who searches for evil--it will come to 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 | The one who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. | 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 | The one who troubles his family will inherit nothing, and the fool will be a servant to the wise person. | 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 like a tree producing life, and the one who wins 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 | If the righteous are recompensed on earth, how much more the wicked 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! | |
