10Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.
11By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.
13Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.
14It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.
15There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
16Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.
17The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
19Meddle not with him that revealeth secrets, and walketh deceitfully, and openeth wide his lips.
20He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
21The inheritance gotten hastily in the beginning, in the end shall be without a blessing.
22Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord and he will deliver thee.
23Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.
24The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?
25It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.
