13Eat honey, my son, because it is good; and the fine honey, which is sweet to thy palate:
14So obtain the knowledge of wisdom for thy soul: when thou hast found her, then shall there be a happy future, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
15Lie not in wait, O wicked man! against the dwelling of the righteous; waste not his resting-place;
16For though the righteous were to fall seven times, he will rise up again; but the wicked shall stumble into misfortune.
