Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
All the words of my (Wisdom) mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
Bind them (Commandments) continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings.
I (Wisdom) have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
He (LORD) layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he (LORD) is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
My son, walk not thou in the way with them (sinners); refrain thy foot from their path:
Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
