- Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
- If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work?
- My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;
- Know that wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off.
- Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not destroy his resting place;
|
- Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
- If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
- Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
- Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
- Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against a righteous man's house, do not raid his dwelling place;
