9 Who will boast that he has a pure heart? Or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins?
9a The lamp of him that reviles father or mother shall be put out, And his eyeballs shall see darkness.
9b A portion hastily gotten at first Shall not be blessed in the end.
9c Say not, I will avenge myself on my enemy; But wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.
10 A large and small weight, and diverse measures, Are even both of them unclean before the Lord; And so is he that makes them.
11 A youth when in company with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, And then his way will be straight.
12 The ear hears, and the eye sees: Even both of them are the Lord’s work.
13 Love not to speak ill, lest thou be cut off: Open thine eyes, and be filled with bread.
