A trespass-offering mocketh fools;\par\tab But among the upright there is good will.
It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness;\par\tab And {\i so is} wisdom to a man of understanding.
So is the way of an adulterous woman;\par\tab She eateth, and wipeth her mouth,\par\tab And saith, I have done no wickedness.\par
Good understanding giveth favor;\par\tab But the way of the transgressor is hard.
they said to you, In {\i the} last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.
A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah;\par\tab But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
For whoso findeth me findeth life,\par\tab And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.
So shalt thou find favor and good understanding\par\tab In the sight of God and man.
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?\par\tab And scoffers delight them in scoffing,\par\tab And fools hate knowledge?
How much less one that is abominable and corrupt,\par\tab A man that drinketh iniquity like water!\par
And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass-offering for that wherein he hath sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto Jehovah; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.
Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers;\par\tab But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;\par\tab But such as are perfect in {\i their} way are his delight.
