24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. 25 The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied 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 for evil, it shall come unto him. 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as foliage. 29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls. 31 Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; How much more the wicked and the sinner!
