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.

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