25. The liberal person shall be enriched, and he who waters shall himself be watered. [II Cor. 9:6-10.]
26. The people curse him who holds back grain [when the public needs it], but a blessing [from God and man] is upon the head of him who sells it.
27. He who diligently seeks good seeks [God's] favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come upon him.
