9 Those who trust in him shall understand truth,and the faithful shall abide with him in love:Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,and his care is with the elect.
10 But the wicked shall receive a punishment to match their thoughts,since they neglected righteousness and forsook the Lord.
11 For those who despise wisdom and instruction are doomed.Vain is their hope, fruitless their labors,and worthless their works.
12 Their wives are foolish and their children wicked,accursed their brood.
13 Yes, blessed is she who, childless and undefiled,never knew transgression of the marriage bed;for she shall bear fruit at the judgment of souls.
14 So also the eunuch whose hand wrought no misdeed,who held no wicked thoughts against the Lord—For he shall be given fidelity’s choice rewardand a more gratifying heritage in the Lord’s temple.
15 For the fruit of noble struggles is a glorious one;and unfailing is the root of understanding.
