1
He who fears the Lord will do this.
2
She will meet him like a mother,
3
She will feed him with bread of understanding
4
He will be stayed upon her, and will not be moved.
5
She will exalt him above his neighbours.
6
He will inherit joy, a crown of gladness,
7
Foolish men will not obtain her.
8
She is far from pride.
9
Praise is not attractive in the mouth of a sinner;
10
For praise will be spoken in wisdom;
11
Don’t say, “It is through the Lord that I fell away;”
12
Don’t say, “It is he that caused me to err;”
13
The Lord hates every abomination;
14
He himself made man from the beginning
15
If you choose, you can keep the commandments.
16
He has set fire and water before you.
17
Before man is life and death.
18
For the wisdom of the Lord is great.
19
His eyes are upon those who fear him.
20
He has not commanded any man to be ungodly.
