¹⁶ And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:

¹² Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

¹³ And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;

¹⁴ For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

⁴⁷ Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.

⁴⁸ And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.

⁴⁹ So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.

⁶ There is wealth in the tents of those who make destruction, and those by whom God is moved to wrath are safe; even those whose god is their strength.

³ Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers.

¹² Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased.

⁸ For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.

⁴⁵ So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

¹⁷ But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.
