21
The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath.
22
A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.
23
A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.
24
He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
25
The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
26
If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
27
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.
28
Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.
29
Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.
30
Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.
