27 If you try to do good things, people will respect you.
    But if you want evil things to happen, they will happen to you!
28 If somebody trusts his riches to keep him safe,
    he will fall like a leaf that falls from a tree.
But a righteous person will grow strong,
    like a fresh green leaf.

    A foolish person like that will become the servant of a wise person.
