25. Among wisdom’s treasures is the model for knowledge;but godliness is an abomination to the sinner.
26. If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments,and the Lord will bestow her upon you;
27. For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline;faithfulness and humility are his delight.
28. Do not disobey the fear of the Lord,do not approach it with duplicity of heart.
29. Do not be a hypocrite before others;over your lips keep watch.
30. Do not exalt yourself lest you falland bring dishonor upon yourself;For then the Lord will reveal your secretsand cast you down in the midst of the assembly.Because you did not approach the fear of the Lord,and your heart was full of deceit.
