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 work?
13My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul: if thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he is overthrown:
18Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; neither be thou envious at the wicked:
20For there will be no reward to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him:
25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer.
27Prepare thy work without, and make it ready for thee in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, the face thereof was covered with nettles, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32Then I beheld, and considered well: I saw, and received instruction.
33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
