24 There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want. 25 A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered. 26 Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a blessing is for the head of him who is selling. 27 Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing, And whoso is seeking evil -- it meeteth him. 28 Whoso is confident in his wealth he falleth, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish. 29 Whoso is troubling his own house inheriteth wind, And a servant is the fool to the wise of heart. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And whoso is taking souls is wise. 31 Lo, the righteous in the earth is recompensed, Surely also the wicked and the sinner!
