10If you act as though you are helpless when you have troubles, you are truly very weak.
11If it is unjustly decided that someone must be executed, try hard to rescue them DOU.
12If you say, “I did not know anything about it, so ◄it is not my concern/I did not try to help him►,” remember that God knows what we have done, and he knows what we were thinking IDM, RHQ, and he will certainly RHQ repay us as we deserve for what we have done or for not doing what we should have done.
13My child/son, eat honey, because it is good for you; the honey that drips from honeycombs tastes very sweet.
14Similarly, being wise is good for your soul; if you become wise, you will be happy in the future, and God will certainly do for you what you are confidently expecting him to do LIT.
15Do not be like wicked people who hide and wait to break into the houses of righteous/good people and rob/steal things.
16Even if good people fall down seven/many times, they always stand/get up again, but when a disaster happens to wicked people, it ruins/destroys them.
17Do not be happy when something bad happens to one of your enemies; do not rejoice when he stumbles and falls,
18because Yahweh will know what you are thinking, and he will not like it, and as a result he will not punish that enemy of yours.
19Do not become angry/upset about those who do what is evil, and do not SYN envy them,
20because nothing good will happen to wicked people; they are like a lamp that will soon be extinguished MET.
21My child/son, revere Yahweh and also honor the king, and do not associate with people who want to rebel against either of them,
22because those people will suddenly experience disasters; and no one knows RHQ what great disasters that God or the king can cause to happen to them.
23Here are more things that wise people have said: It is wrong for judges to decide matters unfairly IDM.
24If they say to people who are guilty, “You ◄are innocent/have not done something that is wrong►,” even people in other nations will curse and despise them,
25but if judges say that guilty people must be punished, things will go well for those judges, and ◄they will receive blessings/God will bless them►.
26Those who answer others honestly show that they are truly their friends IDM.
27First, do the work that needs to be done outside your house, and prepare your fields, and then plant things, and after you finish doing that, build your house.
28In the courtroom do not testify against someone when you have no reason to do that, and do not try to deceive people by what you say MTY.
29Do not say, “I will do to him what he did to me; I will pay him back for the bad things that he did to me.”
30One day I walked by the vineyards of a lazy man, a man who did not have good sense.
31I was surprised to see that the fields were full of all kinds of thorny bushes, and the stone wall around the garden had ◄collapsed/fallen down►.
32When I saw that, I thought about it, and I learned this:
33If you spend a lot of time sleeping and napping and folding your hands while you rest,
