22
Abide not in the works of sinners. But trust in God, and stay in thy place.
23
For it is easy in the eyes of God on a sudden to make the poor man rich.
24
The blessing of God maketh haste to reward the just, and in a swift hour his blessing beareth fruit.
25
Say not: What need I, and what good shall I have by this?
26
Say not: I am sufficient for myself: and what shall I be made worse by this?
27
In the day of good things be not unmindful of evils: and in the day of evils be not unmindful of good things:
28
For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways.
29
The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works.
30
Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children.
31
Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful.
32
For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour.
