24 Some man geueth out his goodes and is the richer: but the niggarde hauyng inough, wyll depart from nothyng, and yet is euer in pouertie. 25 He that is liberall in geuyng, shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shalbe watered also hym selfe. 26 Who so hoordeth vp his corne, shalbe cursed among the people: but blessyng shall lyght vpon his head that geueth foode. 27 He that searcheth for good thynges fyndeth fauour: but who so seketh after mischiefe, it shall happen vnto hym. 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall haue a fall: but the ryghteous shall florishe as the greene leafe. 29 Who so maketh disquietnesse in his owne house, he shal haue winde for his heritage: and the foole shalbe seruaunt to the wise. 30 The fruite of the ryghteous is a tree of life: and he that winneth mens soules is wise. 31 If the ryghteous be recompensed vpon earth: howe much more then the vngodly and the sinner?
