Saying 26

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
    honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
    If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
    and your hope will not be cut off.(A)

Saying 27

15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
    do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
    but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.(B)

Saying 28

17 Do not gloat(C) when your enemy falls;
    when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,(D)
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
    and turn his wrath away from them.(E)
