18. Be not overmuch wicked: and be not foolish, lest thou die before thy time.

19. It is good that thou shouldst hold up the just, yea and from him withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God, neglecteth nothing.

20. Wisdom hath strengthened the wise more than ten princes of the city.

21. For there is no just man upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not.

22. But do not apply thy heart to all words that are spoken: lest perhaps thou hear thy servant reviling thee.
