A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.
A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.
Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.
He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
And thou shalt find grace and good understanding before God and men.
O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?
How much more is man abominable and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
But if he be not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtles, or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust,
He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace.
A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
