24 Hay quienes reparten, y les es añadido más: y hay quienes son escasos más de lo que es justo, mas vienen á pobreza.

25 El alma liberal será engordada: y el que saciare, él también será saciado.

26 Al que retiene el grano, el pueblo lo maldecirá: mas bendición será sobre la cabeza del que vende.

27 El que madruga al bien, buscará favor: mas el que busca el mal, vendrále.

28 El que confía en sus riquezas, caerá: mas los justos reverdecerán como ramos.
