1 Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby:
·
2 of the law of the most High, and his covenant; and of judgment to justify the ungodly;
·
3 of reckoning with thy partners and travellers; or of the gift of the heritage of friends;
·
4 of exactness of balance and weights; or of getting much or little;
·
5 and of merchants' indifferent selling; of much correction of children; and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed.
·
6 Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; and locked up, where many hands are.
·
7 Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in.
·
8 Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young: thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living.
·
9 A daughter is a wakeful care to a father; and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she should be hated:
·
10 in her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her father's house; and having an husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she should be barren.
·
11 Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude.
·
12 Behold not everybody's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.
·
13 For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.
·
14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, [I say], which bringeth shame and reproach.
·
15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen: In the words of the Lord are his works.
·
16 The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof [is] full of the glory of the Lord.
·
17 The Lord hath not given power to the saints to declare all his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, that whatsoever is might be established for his glory.
·
18 He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and considereth their crafty devices: for the Lord knoweth all that can be known, and he beholdeth the signs of the world,
·
19 declaring the things that are past, and for to come, and revealing the steps of hidden things.
·
20 No thought escapeth him, neither any word is hidden from him.
·
21 He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom, and he is from everlasting to everlasting: unto him may nothing be added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath no need of any counsellor.
·
22 Oh how desirable are all his works! and that a man may see even to a spark.
·
23 All these things live and remain for ever for all uses, and they are all obedient.
·
24 All things are double one against another: and he hath made nothing imperfect.
·
25 One thing establisheth the good of another: and who shall be filled with beholding his glory?
