11 Even a child (A)makes himself known by his acts,
    by whether his conduct is pure and upright.[a]
12 (B)The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
    (C)the Lord has made them both.
13 (D)Love not sleep, lest you (E)come to poverty;
    open your eyes, and you will have (F)plenty of bread.
14 “Bad, bad,” says the buyer,
    but when he goes away, then he boasts.
15 There is gold and abundance of (G)costly stones,
    (H)but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
