30
A good understanding will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
31
In the treasures of wisdom is the signification of discipline:
32
But the worship of God is an abomination to a sinner.
33
Son, if thou desire wisdom, keep justice, and God will give her to thee.
34
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline: and that which is agreeable to him,
35
Is faith, and meekness: and he will fill up his treasures.
36
Be not incredulous to the fear of the Lord: and come not to him with a double heart.
37
Be not a hypocrite in the sight of men, and let not thy lips be a stumblingblock to thee.
38
Watch over them, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul,
39
And God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation.
40
Because thou camest to the Lord wickedly, and thy heart is full of guile and deceit.
