24 Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want. 25 The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself. 26 He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell. 27 Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them. 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the just shall spring up as a green leaf. 29 He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise. 30 The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise. 31 If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner.
