6. For if he curse you in the bitterness of his soul, He that made him will hear his supplication.
7. Get yourself the love of the congregation; And to a great man bow your head.
8. Incline your ear to a poor man, And answer him with peaceful words in meekness.
9. Deliver him that is wronged from the hand of him that wrongeth him; And be not faint-hearted in giving judgement.
10. Be as a father to the fatherless, And instead of a husband to their mother: So shall you be as a son of the Most High, And he shall love you more than your mother does.
11. Wisdom exalts her sons, And takes hold of them that seek her.
12. He that loves her loves life; And they that seek to her early shall be filled with gladness.
13. He that holds her fast shall inherit glory; And where he enters, the Lord will bless.
14. They that do her service shall minister to the Holy One; And them that love her the Lord does love.
15. He that gives ear to her shall judge the nations; And he that gives heed to her shall dwell securely.
16. If he trust her, he shall inherit her; And his generations shall have her in possession.
17. For at the first she will walk with him in crooked ways, And will bring fear and dread upon him, And torment him with her discipline, Until she may trust his soul, and try him by her judgements:
18. Then will she return again the straight way to him, And will gladden him, and reveal to him her secrets.
19. If he go astray, she will forsake him, And give him over to his fall.
