<\/a>1\u00a0<\/span>Set not thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>2\u00a0<\/span>Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart:<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>3\u00a0<\/span>And say not, Who shall controul me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>4\u00a0<\/span>Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>5\u00a0<\/span>Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin:<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>6\u00a0<\/span>And say not, His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>7\u00a0<\/span>Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>8\u00a0<\/span>Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten; for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>9\u00a0<\/span>Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>10\u00a0<\/span>Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>11\u00a0<\/span>Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>12\u00a0<\/span>If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>13\u00a0<\/span>Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>14\u00a0<\/span>Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue.<\/div>\r\n
<\/a>15\u00a0<\/span>Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small.<\/div>\r\n
