{3:27} A hardened heart will have evil in the very end, and he who loves peril will perish in it.
{3:28} A heart advancing in two directions will not have success, and the depraved heart will be scandalized in this way.
{3:29} A wicked heart will be burdened with sorrows, and a sinner will add further sins.
{3:30} 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.
{3:31} The heart of the wise is understood by wisdom, and a good ear will listen to wisdom with all its desire.
{3:32} A wise and understanding heart will abstain from sins, and will have success in works of justice.
{3:33} Water extinguishes a burning fire, and almsgiving withstands sins.
{3:34} And God is the watchman for him who repays a kindness. He remembers him afterwards, and in the time of his fall, he will find a firm support.
