Hear, O Israel, the commandments of life: give ear, that thou mayst learn wisdom. 10How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land? 11Thou art grown old in a strange country, thou art defiled with the dead: thou art counted with them that go down into hell. 12Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom: 13For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou hadst surely dwelt in peace for ever. 14Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding: that thou mayst know also where is length of days and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.
