    but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
    and he that winneth souls is wise.

² A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord:
    but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

    and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

¹⁴ The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways:
    and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
