22. The things that have been commanded you, think thereupon; For you have no need of the things that are secret.
23. Be not over busy in your superfluous works: For more things are showed to you than men can understand.
24. For the conceit of many has led them astray; And evil surmising has caused their judgement to slip.
26. A stubborn heart shall fare ill at the last; And he that loves danger shall perish therein.
27. A stubborn heart shall be laden with troubles; And the sinner shall heap sin upon sin.
28. The calamity of the proud is no healing; For a plant of wickedness has taken root in him.
29. The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; And the ear of a listener is the desire of a wise man.
30. Water will quench a flaming fire; And almsgiving will make atonement for sins.
