²⁵ He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat.

¹⁸ An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.

²⁵ He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.

⁶ But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

⁴ The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.

⁷ A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

¹¹ And the Lord will be your guide at all times; in dry places he will give you water in full measure, and will make strong your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like an ever-flowing spring.

²⁵ The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.

²² An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.

¹⁰ Send away the man of pride, and argument will go out; truly fighting and shame will come to an end.

²⁴ The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.

³⁰ The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.

¹⁰ The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.

¹² Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love.

¹² O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.
