16
He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer, and he that angereth his mother is cursed by God.
17
My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved by him that is approved.
18
The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favor before the Lord.
19
Many are in high place and of renown, but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
20
For the power of the Lord is great, and He is honored by the lowly.
21
Seek not out the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
22
But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence; for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.
23
Be not curious in unnecessary matters, for more things are shown unto thee than men understand.
24
For many are deceived by their own vain opinion, and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
25
Without eyes thou shalt lack light; profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.
26
A stubborn heart shall fare evilly at the last, and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.
