Unless thou hold thyself diligently in the fear of the Lord, thy house shall quickly be overthrown. 5As when one sifteth with a sieve, the dust will remain: so will the perplexity of a man in his thoughts. 6The furnace trieth the potter's vessels, and the trial of affliction just men. 7As the dressing of a tree sheweth the fruit thereof, so a word out of the thought of the heart of man.
