24. The world of the generous gets larger and larger;the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.
25. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed;those who help others are helped.
26. Curses on those who drive a hard bargain!Blessings on all who play fair and square!
27. The one who seeks good finds delight;the student of evil becomes evil.
28. A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump;a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.
29. Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air;common sense tells you it’s a stupid way to live.
30. A good life is a fruit-bearing tree;a violent life destroys souls.
31. If good people barely make it,what’s in store for the bad!
