15
He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.
16
My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.
17
Weep bitterly, and make great moaning, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of; and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.
18
For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
19
In affliction also sorrow remaineth, and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
20
Take no heaviness to heart; drive it away, and remember the last end.
21
Forget it not, for there is no turning back; thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
22
"Remember my judgment, for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and today for thee."
23
When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him when his spirit is departed from him.
24
The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure, and he that hath little business shall become wise.
25
How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labors, and whose talk is of bullocks?
