He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
The thought of foolishness [is] sin: and the scorner [is] an abomination to men.
[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.
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.
