Before judgment prepare thee justice, and learn before thou speak. 20Before sickness take a medicine, and before judgment examine thyself, and thou shalt find mercy in the sight of God. 21Humble thyself before thou art sick, and in the time of sickness shew thy conversation. 22Let nothing hinder thee from praying always, and be not afraid to be justified even to death: for the reward of God continueth for ever. 23Before prayer prepare thy soul: and be not as a man that tempteth God. 24Remember the wrath that shall be at the last day, and the time of repaying when he shall turn away his face. 25Remember poverty in the time of abundance, and the necessities of poverty in the day of riches. 26From the morning until the evening the time shall be changed, and all these are swift in the eyes of God. 27A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the days of sins will beware of sloth. 28Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise to him that findeth her. 29They that were of good understanding in words, have also done wisely themselves: and have understood truth and justice, and have poured forth proverbs and judgments.
