23 The desire of the righteous [turns out] well,[a] but the hope of the wicked [leads to] wrath.[b]
24 One person gives freely, yet gains more;[c] another withholds what is right, only to become poor.[d]
25 A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water.[e]
26 People will curse anyone who hoards grain, but a blessing will come to the one who sells it.
27 The one who searches for what is good[f] finds favor, but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him.
28 Anyone trusting in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like foliage.[g]
29 The one who brings ruin on his household will inherit the wind, and a fool will be a slave to someone whose heart is wise.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but violence[h] takes lives.[i]
31 If the righteous will be repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and sinful.
