²¹ Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth `his' going.

²³ To execute inventions `is' as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.

¹⁵ See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

²⁸ And He saith to man: -- `Lo, fear of the Lord, that `is' wisdom, And to turn from evil `is' understanding.'

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom `is' fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise `is' standing for ever!

¹² Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.

⁹ Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright -- a pleasing thing.

¹⁶ The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.

¹⁸ As `one' pretending to be feeble, Who is casting sparks, arrows, and death,

¹⁹ So hath a man deceived his neighbour, And hath said, `Am not I playing?'

¹³ Who `is' wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
