21 Don’t seek out thingsthat are too difficult for you,and don’t investigate matterstoo perplexing for you.
22 Think about whatyou have been commanded,because you have no needfor matters that are hidden.
23 Don’t meddle in thingsbeyond your own affairssince you have already been shown things beyond human understanding.
24 Speculation has led many people astray,and false conjectures haveweakened their thoughts.
26 A stubborn heart will come to misery,and whoever loves dangerwill be destroyed by it.
27 A stubborn heart will be weighed downby suffering,and the sinner will keep on sinning.
28 There’s no healing for the distressof arrogant people,because an evil planthas taken root in them.
