If thou forbear to deliver [them that are] drawn unto death, and [those that are] ready to be slain;
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider [it]? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth [not] he know [it]? and shall [not] he render to [every] man according to his works?
My son, eat thou honey, because [it is] good; and the honeycomb, [which is] sweet to thy taste:
So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] unto thy soul: when thou hast found [it], then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
Lay not wait, O wicked [man], against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Lest the LORD see [it], and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Fret not thyself because of evil [men], neither be thou envious at the wicked;
For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
