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.

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.
