| 12 | All bribery and injustice will be blotted out, but good faith will stand for ever. | The results of evil. Sir.40.12-17 | Πᾶν δῶρον καὶ ἀδικία ἐξαλειφθήσεται, καὶ πίστις εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα στήσεται. |
| 13 | The wealth of the unjust will dry up like a torrent, and crash like a loud clap of thunder in a rain. | χρήματα ἀδίκων ὡς ποταμὸς ξηρανθήσεται, καὶ ὡς βροντὴ μεγάλη ἐν ὑετῷ ἐξηχήσει· | |
| 14 | A generous man will be made glad; likewise transgressors will utterly fail. | ἐν τῷ ἀνοῖξαι αὐτὸν χεῖρας εὐφρανθήσεται, οὕτως οἱ παραβαίνοντες εἰς συντέλειαν ἐκλείψουσιν. | |
| 15 | The children of the ungodly will not put forth many branches; they are unhealthy roots upon sheer rock. | ἔκγονα ἀσεβῶν οὐ πληθυνεῖ κλάδους, καὶ ῥίζαι ἀκάθαρτοι ἐπ' ἀκροτόμου πέτρας· | |
| 16 | The reeds by any water or river bank will be plucked up before any grass. | ἄχι ἐπὶ παντὸς ὕδατος καὶ χείλους ποταμοῦ πρὸ παντὸς χόρτου ἐκτιλήσεται. | |
| 17 | Kindness is like a garden of blessings, and almsgiving endures for ever. | χάρις ὡς παράδεισος ἐν εὐλογίαις, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαμενεῖ. | |
