Give thou occasion to a wise man; and wisdom shall be increased to him. Teach thou a just [or rightwise] man; and he shall hasten to take it.
A wise man hearing shall be the wiser; and a man understanding shall hold governance.
Wise men hide knowing; but the mouth of a fool is next to confusion.
A golden earring, and a shining pearl is he, that reproveth a wise man, and an ear obeying.
We shall know, and follow, that we know the Lord. His going out is made ready at the morrowtide, and he shall come as a rain to us, which is timeful and lateful to the earth.
But wax ye in the grace and the knowing of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Saviour; to him be glory now and into the day of everlastingness. Amen.
I write to you these things, that ye know, that ye have everlasting life, which believe in the name of God’s Son.
