8 Whoever makes evil planswill be known as a troublemaker.
9 Making foolish plans is sinful,and making fun of wisdom is hateful.
10 If you give up when trouble comes,it shows that you are weak.
11 Save those who are being led to their death;rescue those who are about to be killed.
12 If you say, “We don’t know anything about this,”God, who knows what’s in your mind, will notice.He is watching you, and he will know.He will reward each person for what he has done.
13 My child, eat honey because it is good.Honey from the honeycomb tastes sweet.
14 In the same way, wisdom is pleasing to you.If you find it, you have hope for the future,and your wishes will come true.
