'Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; and whosoever erreth thereby is not wise.' The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter. 'Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?' Divers weights and divers measures, both alike an abomination. Even a child maketh himself known by his doings. 'The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.' Say not thou, I will recompense evil: 'wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee.' Man's goings are of Jehovah.
