WITH three things my spirit is pleased, which are approved before God and men:
2 The concord of brethren, and the love of neighbours, and mall and wife that agree well together.
3 Three sorts my soul hateth, and I am greatly grieved at their life:
4 A poor man that is proud: a rich man that is a liar: an old man that is a fool, and doting.
5 The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in thy old age?
6 O how comely is judgment for a grey head, and for ancients to know counsel!
7 O how comely is wisdom for the aged, and understanding and counsel to men of honour!
8 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.
10 A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies.
12 Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth.
14 The fear of God hath set itself above all things:
17 The sadness of the heart is every plague: and the wickedness of a woman is all evil.
18 And a man will choose any plague, but the plague of the heart:
19 And ally wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
20 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate him:
21 And ally revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
22 There is no head worse than the head of a serpent:
25 Her husband groaned, and hearing he sighed a little.
26 All malice is shore to the malice of a woman, let the lot of sinners fall upon her.
28 Look not upon a woman's beauty, and desire not a woman for beauty.
29 A woman's anger, and impudence, and confusion is great.
30 A woman, if she have superiority, is contrary to her husband.
31 A wicked woman abateth the courage, and maketh a heavy countenance, and a wounded heart.
32 Feeble hands, and disjointed knees, a woman that doth not make her husband happy.
33 From the woman came the beginning of sin, and by her we all die.
34 Give no issue to thy water, no, not a little: nor to a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.
35 If she walk not at thy hand, she will confound thee in the sight of thy enemies.
36 Cut her off from thy flesh, lest she always abuse thee.
