'Be not thou envious against evil men', through wisdom is a house builded. A wise man is strong. 'If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Deliver them that are carried away unto death', and He that weigheth the hearts, doth not he know it? Eat honey, for it is good; so know wisdom for thy soul. 'For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.' Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth. The field of the sluggard, grown over with thorns, teaches: yet a little sleep, so shall thy poverty come as a robber.
