³⁵ The king's favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; But his wrath will be `against' him that causeth shame.

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

⁴⁶ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

⁴⁷ Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.

⁴⁸ But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;

⁴⁹ and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;

⁵⁰ the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,

⁵¹ and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹¹ He that loveth pureness of heart, `For' the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?

⁴³ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

⁴⁴ Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.

⁴⁵ But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁶ the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.

⁴⁷ And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many `stripes';

⁴⁸ but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few `stripes'. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.

²³ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²¹ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

¹² If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

⁵ Take away the wicked `from' before the king, And his throne shall be established in righteousness.

²⁶ A wise king winnoweth the wicked, And bringeth the `threshing' -wheel over them.

⁸ A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment Scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

²⁶ He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

¹² The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.

¹³ A foolish son is the calamity of his father; And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

² A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.

⁵ He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; `But' he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

⁴ A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

⁵ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

⁶ Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

⁷ He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

⁸ Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah. Psalm 102 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
