⁴ I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.

⁹ For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.

²² For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.
