Olam 2

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Whoso <i>is</i> simple, let him turn in hither: and <i>as for</i> him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread <i>eaten</i> in secret is pleasant.

But he knoweth not that the dead <i>are</i> there; <i>and that</i> her guests <i>are</i> in the depths of hell.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son <i>is</i> the heaviness of his mother.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

He becometh poor that dealeth <i>with</i> a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

He that gathereth in summer <i>is</i> a wise son: <i>but</i> he that sleepeth in harvest <i>is</i> a son that causeth shame.

Blessings <i>are</i> upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
