¹³ My son, eat ^(A)honey, for it is good,
Yes, the ^(B)honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;
¹⁴ Know that ^(C)wisdom is thus for your soul;
If you find it, then there will be a ^[a](D)future,
And your hope will not be cut off.

¹⁶ For a ^(A)righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the ^(B)wicked stumble in time of calamity.

²⁰ For ^(A)there will be no ^[a](B)future for the evil man;
The ^(C)lamp of the wicked will be put out.

²¹ My son, ^[b](D)fear the Lord and the king;
Do not associate with those who are given to change,
²² For their ^(E)calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?
