Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it.
Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.
