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