The desire of the righteous,
Ends only when it is good;
Causing you to be licentious,
That your expectation as could.
Expecting of the wicked in wrath,
One gives freely grows wealthier;
Another withholds on the path,
And will become unhealthier.
What should anyone who suffers,
Having the desire to give;
For the liberal soul scoffers,
Another in wanting to live.
If you bring blessings be enriched,
One who waters will be watered;
Being enticed while bewitched,
Will be a fatted calf slaughtered.
People will curse who hold the grain,
But blessings to who will sell it;
For a fair price wealth he will gain,
As compensation for merit.
Whoever diligently seeks,
Is seeking good will seek favor;
As honesty and fairness speaks,
While looking for a savior.
But evil comes to him to search,
The ways and means causing mischief;
Blocking you from entering church,
With desire for causing you grief.
Whoever puts trust in his wealth,
Shall fall unto their own demise;
As the righteous flourishing health,
Will have insight to make them wise.
Whoever troubles his own house,
Will be inheriting the wind;
And will find divorcing his spouse,
Uncouth not being disciplined.
For the righteous shall bear the fruit,
Because they are the tree of life;
Has repaid by taking firm root,
Able to withstand stormy strife.
