28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. {winneth: Heb. taketh}
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

31 si iustus in terra recipit quanto magis impius et peccator
Exerpt from Spurgeon's Sermon (No. 850) on this passage:
“I have not looked at the Hebrew of the text, but I find – and you will find who have margins to your Bibles – that it is, ‘He that taketh souls is wise,’ which word refers to fishing, or to bird-catching.”
