17Be not ouermuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? 18It is good that thou shouldest take holde of this, yea also from this withdraw not thine hand: for hee that feareth God, shall come foorth of them all. 19Wisedome strengtheneth the wise, more then ten mightie men which are in the citie. 20For there is not a iust man vpon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 21Also take no heede vnto all words that are spoken; lest thou heare thy seruant curse thee.
