The desire of the righteous [is] only good: [but] the expectation of the wicked [is] wrath.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing [shall be] upon the head of him that selleth [it].
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool [shall be] servant to the wise of heart.
The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof [is] brutish.
