27He that diligently seeketh good, procureth fauour: but hee that seeketh mischiefe, it shall come vnto him. 28He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. 29He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde: and the foole shall be seruant to the wise of heart. 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life: and hee that winneth soules, is wise. 31Behold, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
