watered also himself.
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing
shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall
flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool
shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth
souls is wise.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more
the wicked and the sinner.
