28 Those who work the soilwill pile up their harvest,and those who please the powerfulwill secure reconciliation for injuries.
29 Friendly relationships and giftswill blind the eyes of the wise;like a muzzle on a mouth,they turn away reproof.
30 Hidden wisdom and unseen treasure—of what benefit is either?
31 Better are those who hidetheir foolishnessthan those who hide their wisdom.
