9The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
10If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
11Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
12If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this;” does not he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does not he know it? Surely he shall render to every man according to his work.
13My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:
14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, your hope will not be cut off.
15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the upright. Don’t destroy his resting place:
16for a upright man falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
18lest Adonai see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:
20for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp candle of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
21My son, fear Adonai and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious:
22for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both— who knows?
23These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
