23
Before thou prayest, prepare thyself; and be not as one that tempteth the Lord.
24
Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his face.
25
When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger: and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need.
26
From the morning until the evening the time is changed, and all things are soon done before the Lord.
27
A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of sinning he will beware of offence: but a fool will not observe time.
28
Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise unto him that found her.
29
They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables.
30
Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.
31
If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.
32
Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to the expense thereof.
33
Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt lie in wait for thine own life, and be talked on.
