1 No evil can harm the one who fears the Lord;through trials, again and again he is rescued.
2 Whoever hates the law is without wisdom,and is tossed about like a boat in a storm.
3 The prudent trust in the word of the Lord,and the law is dependable for them as a divine oracle.
4 Prepare your words and then you will be listened to;draw upon your training, and give your answer.
5 Like the wheel of a cart is the mind of a fool,and his thoughts like a turning axle.
6 A mocking friend is like a stallionthat neighs, no matter who the rider may be.
7 Why is one day more important than another,when the same sun lights up every day of the year?
