⁷ God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

⁹ Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity, yea, every good path.

¹⁰ ¶ When wisdom enters into thine heart and knowledge is sweet unto thy soul,

¹¹ discretion shall preserve thee, intelligence shall keep thee

¹² to deliver thee from the evil way, from the man that speaks perversion,

¹³ who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

19 ¶ And Jesus, having entered, was passing through Jericho;

² and, behold, a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

³ And he sought to see who Jesus was and could not for the crowd because he was small of stature.

⁴ And running ahead, he climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.

⁶ And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully.

⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

⁸ Then Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day saving health is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
