¹⁶ And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

¹² And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him.

¹³ And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

¹⁴ And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household. And the Philistines envied him.

⁴⁷ And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

⁴⁸ And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

⁴⁹ And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number.

⁶ The tents of robbers prosper, And they that provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God bringeth `abundantly'.

³ For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

¹² Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

⁸ For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.

¹⁷ And yet He left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
