Before a storm goeth lightning: and before shamefacedness goeth favour: and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee. 15And at the time of rising be not slack: but be first to run home to thy house, and there withdraw thyself, and there take thy pastime. 16And do what thou hast a mind, but not in sin or proud speech. 17And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things. 18He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing. 19He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein. 20They that fear the Lord, shall find just judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light. 21A sinful man will flee reproof, and will find an excuse according to his will. 22A man of counsel will not neglect understanding, a strange and proud man will not dread fear: 23Even after he hath done with fear without counsel, he shall be controlled by the things of his own seeking. 24My son, do thou nothing without counsel, and thou shalt not repent when thou hast done.
