27 Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,[a]
    but evil comes to (A)him who searches for it.
28 Whoever (B)trusts in his riches will fall,
    but the righteous will (C)flourish like a green leaf.
29 Whoever (D)troubles his own household will (E)inherit the wind,
    and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is (F)a tree of life,
    and whoever (G)captures souls is wise.
31 If (H)the righteous is repaid on earth,
    how much more the wicked and the sinner!
