20
The greater thou art, the more humble thyself in all things, and thou shalt find grace before God:
21
For great is the power of God alone, and he is honoured by the humble.
22
Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious.
23
For it is not necessary for thee to see with thy eyes those things that are hid.
24
In unnecessary matters be not over curious, and in many of his works thou shalt not be inquisitive.
25
For many things are shewn to thee above the understanding of men.
26
And the suspicion of them hath deceived many, and hath detained their minds in vanity.
27
A hard heart shall fear evil at the last: and he that loveth danger shall perish in it.
28
A heart that goeth two ways shall not have success, and the perverse of heart shall be scandalized therein.
29
A wicked heart shall be laden with sorrows, and the sinner will add sin to sin.
30
The congregation of the proud shall not be healed: for the plant of wickedness shall take root in them, and it shall not be perceived.
