29 A wise heart understandeth the proverbs of the wise,

And the ear that listeneth to wisdom rejoicethm.

30 A flaming fire doth water quench,

So doth almsgiving atone for sin.

31 He that doeth good, it shall meet him on his ways,

And when he tottereth he shall find a stay.

(l) 4:1–10. On right behaviour towards the Poor and the Oppressed
