7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;

He does not open his mouth in the gate.

8 He who plots to do evil

Will be called a schemer.

9 The devising of foolishness is sin,

And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.

12 If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”

Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?

He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?

And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

13 My son, eat honey because it is good,

And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;
