8Vanity and lying words do thou remove far from me: neither poverty nor riches give thou unto me; let me eat the bread appointed unto me:
9Lest I become over-full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I become poor, and steal, and trespass against the name of my God.
10Do not calumniate a servant unto his master: lest he curse thee, and thou incur guilt.
11There is a generation that curseth its father, and doth not bless its mother.
12There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, and yet is not washed clean of its filthiness.
13There is a generation—O how lofty are its eyes! and its eyelids are so lifted up.
14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and whose string teeth are as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15Insatiability hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things which never say, Enough:
16The nether world; and a barren womb; the earth which is not satisfied with water; and the fire which never saith, Enough.
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, this shall the ravens of the valley pick out; and the young eagles shall eat it.
18Three things there are which are too wonderful for me; and four, which I know not:
19The way of the eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
20Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wrong.
21Under three things the earth trembleth, and under four which she cannot bear:
22Under a servant when he becometh king, and a worthless fool when he hath eaten enough bread;
23Under an odious woman when she is married, and a bond-woman when she dispossesseth her mistress.
24There are four which are the little ones of the earth, and they are nevertheless exceedingly wise:
25The ants are a people not strong, therefore do they prepare in the summer their food;
26The conies are but a feeble people, therefore do they place on the rocks their houses;
27The locusts have no king, and yet they go forth in troops altogether;
