12. If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work?
13. My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;
14. Know that wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off.
15. Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not destroy his resting place;
16. For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
17. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18. Or the Lord will see it and be displeased, And turn His anger away from him.
