“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.

“My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold,
And my yield better than choicest silver.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
And he who is wise wins souls.

The wicked man desires the booty of evil men,
But the root of the righteous yields fruit.

A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words,
And the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him.

From the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good,
But the desire of the treacherous is violence.

Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles,
But the one who gathers by labor increases it.

With the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied;
He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Do not fret because of evildoers
Or be envious of the wicked;

He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit,
And he who cares for his master will be honored.
