7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8He that deviseth to do evil, men shall call him a mischievous person.
9The thought of the foolish is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11Deliver them that are carried away unto death, and those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
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:
