7. Wisdom is beyond the foolish; at the gate he will not open his mouth.
8. Whoever intends to do evil shall be called foolish.
9. The intention of the foolish is sin. And the detractor is an abomination among men.
10. If you despair, being weary in the day of anguish, your strength will be diminished.
11. Rescue those who are led away to death. And do not cease from delivering those who are dragged away to a violent death.
12. If you would say: "I do not have sufficient strength." He who inspects the heart, the same one understands, and nothing slips past the one who preserves your soul. And he shall repay a man according to his works.
13. My son, eat honey, because it is good, and the honeycomb, because it is so sweet to your throat.
14. So, too, is the doctrine of wisdom to your soul. When you have found it, you will have hope in the end, and your hope shall not perish.
15. Do not lie in wait, and do not seek impiety in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
16. For the just one will fall seven times, and he shall rise again. But the impious will fall into evil.
17. When your enemy will fall, do not be glad, and do not let your heart exult in his ruin,
18. lest perhaps the Lord see, and it displease him, and he may take away his wrath from him.
19. Do not contend with the most wicked, and do not be a rival to the impious.
