¹³ My son, eat thou honey, for it is good;
And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
¹⁴ So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul;
If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward,
And thy hope shall not be cut off.

¹⁶ For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again;
But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

²⁰ For there shall be no reward to the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
²¹ My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king;
And company not with them that are given to change:
²² For their calamity shall rise suddenly;
And the destruction ^[a]from them both, who knoweth it?
