¹² Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,

¹⁶ Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.

⁷ Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue `is' perverseness and iniquity,

⁶ And the woman seeth that the tree `is' good for food, and that it `is' pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make `one' wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;

¹⁷ And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

¹⁸ And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

¹⁷ `Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden bread is pleasant.'

¹⁸ And he hath not known that Rephaim `are' there, In deep places of Sheol her invited ones!

¹⁷ Sweet to a man `is' the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled `with' gravel.

⁹ Rejoice, O young man, in thy childhood, And let thy heart gladden thee in days of thy youth, And walk in the ways of thy heart, And in the sight of thine eyes, And know thou that for all these, Doth God bring thee into judgment.
