Proverbs 24:12-16

¹²If thou sayest: 'Behold, we knew not this', doth not He that weigheth the hearts consider it? And He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it? And shall not He render to every man according to his works?

¹³My son, eat thou honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to thy taste;

¹⁴So know thou wisdom to be unto thy soul; if thou hast found it, then shall there be a future, and thy hope shall not be cut off.

¹⁵Lie not in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous, spoil not his resting-place;

¹⁶For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again, but the wicked stumble under adversity.
