29 A wicked heart will be burdened with sorrows, and a sinner will add further sins.
30 The synagogue of the arrogant will not be healed. For the stalk of sinfulness will take root in them, and it will not be understood.
31 The heart of the wise is understood by wisdom, and a good ear will listen to wisdom with all its desire.
32 A wise and understanding heart will abstain from sins, and will have success in works of justice.
33 Water extinguishes a burning fire, and almsgiving withstands sins.
