Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young; thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved by all men living.

The father waketh for the daughter when no man knoweth, and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she should be hated;
10
in her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her father's house; and having a husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she should be barren.
11
Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude.
12
Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.

14

15
I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen; in the words of the Lord are His works.
16
The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord.
17
The Lord hath not given power to the saints to declare all His marvelous works, which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, that whatsoever is might be established for His glory.
18
He seeketh out the deep and the heart, and considereth their crafty devices; for the Lord knoweth all that may be known, and He beholdeth the signs of the world.
