To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Then thou shalt understand justice and judgment and uprightness; every good track.

Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;

The way of sinners is dark; they see not the cause of their fall.

Make level the track of thy foot, that, all thy ways, may be directed aright:

In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

Coverlets, have I spread on my couch of pleasure, dark-hued stuffs, of the yarn of Egypt;

The violence of the lawless, shall drag them away, - because they have refused to do justice.

Sawest thou a man apt in his works? Before kings shall he stand; he shall not stand before the dark ones

Who says, Oh! who says, Ah! who has violent arguments, who has grief, who has wounds without cause, whose eyes are dark?
