8
Woe be unto you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the Most High God! For if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction;
9
and if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse; and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion.
10
All that are of the earth shall return to earth again; so the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction.
11
The mourning of men is about their bodies, but an evil name of sinners shall be blotted out.
12
Have regard for thy name, for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.
13
A good life hath but few days, but a good name endureth for ever.
14
My children, keep discipline in peace; for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?
15
A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that hideth his wisdom.
16
Therefore be shamefaced according to my word; for it is not good to retain all shamefacedness, neither is it altogether approved in every thing.
17
Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother, and of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;
18
of an offense before a judge and ruler, of iniquity before a congregation and people, of unjust dealing before thy partner and friend;
