11If [from] delivering those taken to death, And those slipping to the slaughter -- thou keepest back.
12When thou sayest, `Lo, we knew not this.` Is not the Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to his work.
13Eat my son, honey that [is] good, And the honeycomb -- sweet to thy palate.
14So [is] the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul, If thou hast found that there is a posterity And thy hope is not cut off.
15Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.
16For seven [times] doth the righteous fall and rise, And the wicked stumble in evil.
17In the falling of thine enemy rejoice not, And in his stumbling let not thy heart be joyful,
