Proverbs 9:11-12c

¹¹For in this way thou shalt live long, and years of thy life shall be added to thee.

¹²Son, if thou be wise for thyself, thou shalt also be wise for thy neighbours; and if thou shouldest prove wicked, thou alone wilt bear the evil.

^12aHe that stays himself upon falsehoods, attempts to rule the winds, and the same will pursue birds in their flight:

^12bfor he has forsaken the ways of his own vineyard, and he has caused the axles of his own husbandry to go astray;

^12cand he goes through a dry desert, and a land appointed to drought, and he gathers barrenness with his hands.
