Before making a vow, prepare yourself; do not be like one who puts the Lord to the test.
24
Think of his wrath on the day of death, and of the moment of vengeance when he turns away his face.
25
In the time of plenty think of the time of hunger; in days of wealth think of poverty and need.
26
From morning to evening conditions change; all things move swiftly before the Lord.
27
One who is wise is cautious in everything; when sin is all around, one guards against wrongdoing.
