1 Repeat not the word which thou hast
heard, and disclose not the thing that is secret; so shalt
thou be truly without confusion, and shah find favour
before all men: be not ashamed of any of these things, and accept no person
to sin thereby:
2 Of the law
of the most High, and of his covenant, and of judgment to justify the
ungodly:
3 Of the
affair of companions and travellers, and of the
gift of the inheritance of friends:
4 Of
exactness of balance and weights, of getting much or little:
5 Of the
corruption of buying, and of merchants, and of much correction of children,
and to make the side of a wicked slave to bleed.
6 Sure
keeping is good over a wicked wife.
7 Where
there are many hands, shut up, and deliver all things in number, and weight:
and put all in writing that thou givest out or receivest in.
8 Be not
ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the aged, that are judged I by
young men: and thou shalt be well instructed in all
things, and well approved in the sight of all men living.
9 The
father waketh for the daughter when no man knoweth, and the care for her taketh
away his sleep, when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age,
and when she is married, lest she should be hateful:
10 In her
virginity, lest she should be corrupted, and be found with child in her
father's house: and having a husband, lest she should misbehave herself, or
at the least become barren.
11 Keep a
sure watch over a shameless daughter: lest at any time she make thee become a
laughingstock to thy enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among
the people, and she make thee ashamed before all the multitude.
12 Behold
not everybody's beauty: and tarry not among women.
13 For from
garments cometh a moth, end from a woman the iniquity of a man.
14 For
better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman
bringing shame and reproach.
15 I will
now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have
seen. By the words of the Lord are his works.
16 The sun
giving light hath looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord
is his work.
17 Hath not
the Lord made the saints to declare all his wonderful works, which the Lord
Almighty hath firmly settled to be established for his glory?
18 He hath
searched out the deep, and the heart of men: and considered their crafty
devices.
19 For the
Lord knoweth all knowledge, and hath beheld the
signs of the world, he declareth the things that
are past, and the things that are to come, and revealeth
the traces of hidden things.
20 No
thought escapeth him, and no word can hide itself
from him.
21 He hath
beautified the glorious works of his wisdom: and he Is from eternity to
eternity, and to him nothing may be added,
22 Nor can
he be diminished, and he hath no need of any counsellor.
23 O how
desirable are all his works, and what we can know is but as a spark!
24 All
these things live, and remain for ever, and for
every use all things obey him.
25 All
things are double, one against another, and he hath made nothing defective.
26 He hath
established the good things of every one. And who shall be filled with
beholding his glory?
