10:1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

10:2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.

10:3 Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

10:5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

10:6 folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth.

10:8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

10:9 Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.

10:10 If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

10:11 If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.

10:12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

10:13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

10:14 A fool also multiplieth words: yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

10:15 The labor of fools wearieth every one of them; for he knoweth not how to go to the city.

10:16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

10:17 Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

10:18 By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life; and money answereth all things.

10:20 Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

71:1 In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.

71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.

71:3 Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.

71:4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

71:5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: Thou art my trust from my youth.

71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.

71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.

71:8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.

71:10 For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

5:11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

5:12 We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but speak as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart.

5:13 For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.

5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

5:15 and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

5:16 Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

5:17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.

5:18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;

5:19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

5:20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

5:21 Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
