Deliver those that are drawn toward death, hold back those that are stumbling to the slaughter;

As an archer that woundeth all, So is he that hireth a fool and he that hireth them that pass by.

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.

That I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
