Greek text · Stählin 3:162

ὃ δὲ χαρίζεται δεομένοις καὶ αἰτοῦντας διδάσκει καὶ λύει τὴν ἄγνοιαν καὶ τὴν ἀπόγνωσιν ἀποσείεται, τοὺς αὐτοὺς πάλιν εἰσάγων λόγους περὶ τῶν πλουσίων. ἑαυτῶν ἑρμηνέας γινομένους καὶ ἐξηγητὰς ἀσφαλεῖς.

English · Claude translation

He grants it to those who ask, teaches those who inquire, dispels ignorance and shakes off despair, bringing forward again the very words about the rich, which become their own interpreters and safe expositors.
