7. Foolish men shall not obtain her; And sinners shall not see her.

8. She is far from pride; And liars shall not remember her.

9. Praise is not comely in the mouth of a sinner; For it was not sent him from the Lord.

10. For praise shall be spoken in wisdom; And the Lord will prosper it.

11. Say not you, It is through the Lord that I fell away; For you shall not do the things that he hates.

12. Say not you, It is he that caused me to err; For he has no need of a sinful man.

13. The Lord hates every abomination; And they that fear him love it not.

14. He himself made man from the beginning, And left him in the hand of his own counsel.
