873

I learnt not wisdom, and I shall not know the knowledge of the holy.

874

The slothful one hid his hand in the dish; he was weary to turn it back to his mouth.

875

He drank violence, cutting off the feet, sending words by the hand of the foolish one.

876

The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings not searched out

877

Take his garment pledging a stranger, and bind him by a pledge for a strange woman.

878

In the transgression of an evil man is a snare: and the just one shall rejoice and be glad:

879

And my reins shall exult in the speaking of thy lips uprightnesses.

881

To cause thee to know the truth of the words of truth; to turn back the words of truth to those sending thee?

882

The grass was uncovered and the young herbage was seen; and the green plants of the mountains were gathered.

883

For there shall be no latter state to the evil one: the light of the unjust shall be extinguished.

885

The lizard will take hold with their hands, and it is in the temples of the king.

886

As a bundle of stones in a heap of stones, so he giving honor to the foolish one.

887

Thy morsel which thou didst eat thou shalt vomit forth and destroy thy pleasant words.

888

Lest he shall drink and forget what is prescribed, and change the judgment of all the sons of affliction.

889

A man of iniquity is an abomination of the just; and the upright of way, an abomination of the unjust one.

890

For pleasant things if thou shalt watch them in thy belly; they shall be prepared together for thy lips.

891

Lest he hearing shall reproach thee, and thine infamy shall not turn away.

892

He hiding her, hid the wind, and he shall call the oil of his right hand.

893

Take ye away the unjust one from before the king, and his throne shall be prepared in justice.

894

A thorn going up into the hand of a drunkard, a parable in the mouth of the foolish.

895

Many are seeking the face of the ruler, and from Jehovah a man's judgment

896

A wise man contending with a foolish man and raging and laughing, and no rest.

897

The violence of the unjust shall sweep them away, for they refuse to do judgment

898

To the locust no king, and it will go forth divided all of them;

899

The poor one and the man of oppressions met together: Jehovah enlightening the eyes of them both.

900

When his voice will compassionate, thou shalt not believe him, for seven abominations in his heart

901

For suddenly shall their calamity rise, and who shall make known the misfortune of them two?

902

The acceptance of the king to a servant of understanding: and his wrath shall be to him causing shame.

903

Lambs for thy clothing, and the he goats the price of the field.

904

A blow and contempt shall he find; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

906

And enough of goats' milk for thy bread, and for the bread of thy house, and the life of thy girls.

907

The legs of the lame were weak, and a parable in the mouth of the foolish.

908

Hatred will be covered by deceit, his evil will be revealed in the convocation.

910

For a servant when he shall reign; and the foolish one when he shall be filled with bread;

911

He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward.

912

In the rising up of the unjust, man shalt hide: and in their perishing, the lust shall increase.

913

For good to say to thee, Come up hither, rather than humbling thyself before the noble whom thine eye saw.

914

A generation, how its eyes were raised up and its eyelashes will be lifted up.

915

Lest Jehovah shall see and it be evil in his eyes, and he turn back from him his anger.
