    but he who inquires of evil, it will come to him.

³⁰ The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life,
    and he who captures souls^[a] is wise.

    but anyone who schemes, he condemns.

    and stored up for the righteous is the wealth of a sinner.

    and from his own,^[a] so shall a good man.
