12. If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that weighs the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13. My son, eat honey because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:
14. So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your hope shall not be cut off.
15. Lie not in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16. For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall by calamity.
17. Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:
18. Lest the LORD sees it, and it displeases him, and he turns away his wrath from him.
19. Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you envious at the wicked;
20. For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21. My son, fear the LORD and the king: and associate not with them that are given to change:
22. For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knows the ruin of them both?
