The simple inherit folly: and the prudent shall be surrounded with knowledge.

The wise shall inherit glory, and the foolish exalt dishonor.

Wisdom the beginning; obtain wisdom, and with all thine acquisition, obtain understanding.

He troubling his house shall inherit wind: and the foolish is servant to the wise of heart

O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in days of straits, to thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and they shall say, Surely our fathers inherited falsehood, vanity, and no receiving profit in them.

But doing, we will do all the word which went forth from our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, to pour out libations to her, as we did, we and our fathers, our kings and our chiefs in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we shall be filled with bread, and we shall be well, and see not evil.

And those understanding shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those justifying many, as the stars forever and ever.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just,

As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.

Knowing that not with corruptible things, silver and gold, were ye redeemed from your vain mode of life transmitted from your fathers

And the chief Shepherd having been manifested, ye shall be attired with an unfading crown of glory.
