26. Charge too much for grain,and you will be cursed;sell it at a fair price,and you will be praised.

27. Try hard to do right,and you will win friends;go looking for trouble,and you will find it.

28. Trust in your wealth,and you will be a failure,but God's people will prosperlike healthy plants.

29. Fools who cause troublein the familywon't inherit a thing.They will end up as slavesof someone with good sense.

30. Live right, and you will eatfrom the life-giving tree.And if you act wisely,others will follow.

31. If good people are rewardedhere on this earth,all who are cruel and meanwill surely be punished.
