Guard your steps when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools. For they do not know that they are doing evil.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not marvel at the matter. For He who is higher than the highest watches; and there are some higher than they.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Also do not listen to all words that are spoken; lest you hear your servant curse you.

and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands like bands. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man.
