1 Rely not on your wealth; say not: "I have the power." | 1 Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of vengeance and darkness. |
2 Rely not on your strength in following the desires of your heart. | 2 Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart: |
3 Say not: "Who can prevail against me?" for the LORD will exact the punishment. | 3 And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge. |
4 Say not: "I have sinned, yet what has befallen me?" for the LORD bides his time. | 4 Say not: I have sinned, and whet harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder. |
5 Of forgiveness be not overconfident, adding sin upon sin. | 5 Be not without fear about sin forgiven, and add not sin upon sin: |
6 Say not: "Great is his mercy; my many sins he will forgive." | 6 And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on the multitude of my sins. |
7 For mercy and anger alike are with him; upon the wicked alights his wrath. | 7 For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners. |
8 Delay not your conversion to the LORD, put it not off from day to day; | 8 Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day. |
9 For suddenly his wrath flames forth; at the time of vengeance, you will be destroyed. | 9 For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. |
10 Rely not upon deceitful wealth, for it will be no help on the day of wrath. | 10 Be not anxious for goods unjustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity and revenge. |
11 Winnow not in every wind, and start not off in every direction. | 11 Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so is every sinner proved by a double tongue. |
12 Be consistent in your thoughts; steadfast be your words. | 12 Be steadfast in the way of the Lord, and in the truth of thy judgment, and in knowledge, and let the word of peace and justice keep with thee. |
13 Be swift to hear, but slow to answer. | 13 Be meek to hear the word, that thou mayst understand: and return a true answer with wisdom. |
14 If you have the knowledge, answer your neighbor; if not, put your hand over your mouth. | 14 If thou have understanding, answer thy neighbour: but if not, let thy hand be upon thy mouth, lest thou be surprised in an unskilful word, and be confounded. |
15 Honor and dishonor through talking! A man's tongue can be his downfall. | 15 Honour and glory is in the word of the wise, but the tongue of the fool is his ruin. |
16 Be not called a detractor; use not your tongue for calumny; | 16 Be not called a whisperer, and be not taken in thy tongue, and confounded. |
17 For shame has been created for the thief, and the reproach of his neighbor for the double-tongued. | 17 For confusion and repentance is upon a thief, and an evil mark of disgrace upon the double tongued, but to the whisperer hatred, and enmity, and reproach. |
18 Justify alike the small and the great. |
