10If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

11Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.

12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?

13My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

14So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:

16For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
