1. Son, when you apply yourself to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare your soul for temptation.
2. Humble your heart, and persevere. Incline your ear, and accept words of understanding. And you should not hurry away in the time of distress.
3. Endure steadfastly for God. Join yourself to God, and persevere, so that your life may increase in the very end.
4. Accept everything that will happened to you, and persevere in your sorrow, and have patience in your humiliation.
5. For gold and silver are tested in fire, yet truly, acceptable men are tested in the furnace of humiliation.
6. Believe God, and he will restore you to health. And straighten your way, and hope in him. Observe his fear, and grow old in it.
