28 There’s no healing for the distressof arrogant people,because an evil planthas taken root in them.
29 The hearts of intelligent peoplewill think about a proverb,and the wise desire peoplewho are ready to listen.
30 Water will put out a blazing fire,and giving to those in needwill make up for sins.
31 Those who repay favorsconsider the future,and at the moment when they fall,they will find support.
