1. A WORKMAN that is a drunkard shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things, shall fall by little and little.
2. Wine and women make wise men fall off, and shall rebuke the prudent:
3. And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number.
4. He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised.
5. He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil.
6. He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned.
7. Rehearse not again a wicked and harsh word, and thou shalt not fare the worse.
