2\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin. <\/div>
3\u00a0<\/a><\/span>With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink. <\/div>
4\u00a0<\/a><\/span>He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded. <\/div>
5\u00a0<\/a><\/span>She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth. <\/div>
6\u00a0<\/a><\/span>He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name. <\/div>
7\u00a0<\/a><\/span>But foolish men shall not attain unto her, and sinners shall not see her. <\/div>
8\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her. <\/div>
9\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord. <\/div>
10\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it. <\/div>
11\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth. <\/div>
12\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Say not thou, He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man. <\/div>
13\u00a0<\/a><\/span>The Lord hateth all abomination; and they that fear God love it not. <\/div>
14\u00a0<\/a><\/span>He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel; <\/div>
15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>If thou wilt, to keep the commandments, and to perform acceptable faithfulness. <\/div>
16\u00a0<\/a><\/span>He hath set fire and water before thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt. <\/div>
17\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Before man is life and death; and whether him liketh shall be given him. <\/div>
18\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things: <\/div>
19\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And his eyes are upon them that fear him, and he knoweth every work of man. <\/div>
20\u00a0<\/a><\/span>He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin. <\/div>
