7Wisdome is hie to a foole: therefore he can not open his mouth in the gate.
8Hee that imagineth to doe euill, men shall call him an autour of wickednes.
9The wicked thought of a foole is sinne, and the scorner is an abomination vnto men.
10If thou bee faint in the day of aduersitie, thy strength is small.
11Deliuer them that are drawen to death: wilt thou not preserue them that are led to be slaine?
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.
