5 Do not be so confident of forgivenessthat you add sin upon sin.
6 Do not say, “His mercy is great;my many sins he will forgive.”For mercy and anger alike are with him;his wrath comes to rest on the wicked.
7 Do not delay turning back to the Lord,do not put it off day after day.For suddenly his wrath will come forth;at the time of vengeance, you will perish.
8 Do not rely on deceitful wealth,for it will be no help on the day of wrath.
9 Do not winnow in every wind,nor walk in every path.
10 Be steadfast regarding your knowledge,and let your speech be consistent.
11 Be swift to hear,but slow to answer.
