12. If you say, “We don’t know anything about this,”God, who knows what’s in your mind, will notice.He is watching you, and he will know.He will reward each person for what he has done.
13. My child, eat honey because it is good.Honey from the honeycomb tastes sweet.

15. Don’t be wicked and attack a good family’s house;don’t rob the place where they live.
16. Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated,but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.
17. Don’t be happy when your enemy is defeated;don’t be glad when he is overwhelmed.
18. The Lord will notice and be displeased.He may not be angry with them anymore.
19. Don’t envy evil people,and don’t be jealous of the wicked.
20. An evil person has nothing to hope for;the wicked will die like a flame that is put out.
