12If thou say, Beholde, we knew not of it: he that pondereth the heartes, doeth not hee vnderstand it? and hee that keepeth thy soule, knoweth he it not? will not he also recompense euery man according to his workes?
13My sonne, eate hony, for it is good, and the hony combe, for it is sweete vnto thy mouth.
14So shall the knowledge of wisdome be vnto thy soule, if thou finde it, and there shall be an ende, and thine hope shall not be cut off.
15Laye no waite, O wicked man, against the house of the righteous, and spoyle not his resting place.
16For a iust man falleth seuen times, and riseth againe: but the wicked fall into mischiefe.
17Bee thou not glad when thine enemie falleth, and let not thine heart reioyce when hee stumbleth,
18Least the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turne his wrath from him.
19Fret not thy selfe because of the malicious, neither be enuious at the wicked.
20For there shall bee none ende of plagues to the euill man: the light of the wicked shall bee put out.
21My sonne feare the Lord, and the King, and meddle not with them that are sedicious.
22For their destruction shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruine of them both?
23ALSO THESE THINGS PERTEINE TO THE WISE, It is not good to haue respect of any person in iudgement.
24He that saith to the wicked, Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse, and the multitude shall abhorre him.
