10. If you falter in the day of distress, Your strength is small!
11. Deliver those taken to death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter,
12. If you say, “See, we did not know this,” Would not He who weighs the hearts discern it? He who watches over your life, Would He not know it? And shall He not repay man according to his work?
13. My son, eat honey, for it is good, And the honeycomb, sweet to your taste;
14. Know that wisdom is thus to your being; If you have found it, there is a future, And your expectancy is not cut off.
15. Do not lie in wait, O wrong one, Against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not ravage his resting place;
