Wisdom is (A)too high for a fool;
    in (B)the gate he does not open his mouth.
Whoever (C)plans to do evil
    will be called a schemer.
(D)The devising[a] of folly is sin,
    and (E)the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.
10 If you (F)faint in the day of adversity,
    your strength is small.
11 (G)Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
    hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this”,
    (H)does not he who (I)weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who (J)keeps watch over your soul know it,
    and will he not repay man (K)according to his work?
