27 Celui qui recherche le bien s’attire de la faveur, Mais celui qui poursuit le mal en est atteint.

28 Celui qui se confie dans ses richesses tombera, Mais les justes verdiront comme le feuillage.

30 Le fruit du juste est un arbre de vie, Et le sage s’empare des âmes.

31 Voici, le juste reçoit sur la terre une rétribution; Combien plus le méchant et le pécheur!
