The fear of the Lord driveth away sin: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath. The fear of the Lord is the fullness of wisdom, and she filleh men with her fruits. The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shall find favor before the Lord. Many are in high places, and of renown; but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shown unto thee than man understands. For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgement. The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man. Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flames of his fire. Foe when a man is dead, he shall inherit creeping things, beasts and worms.
The beginning of pride is when one departeth from God, and his heart is turned away from his maker. For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination; and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly. God made man from the beginning and left him in the hand of his counsel.
A wise man will hold his tongue till he sees opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time. To slip upon pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness. The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life. The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
