Proverbs

¹³My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste: ¹⁴So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off. ¹⁵Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place: ¹⁶For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity. ¹⁷Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown; ¹⁸Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him. ¹⁹Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
