13:8 Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy jollity. 13:9 If thou be invited of a mighty man, withdraw thyself, and so much the more will he invite thee. 13:10 Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back; stand not far off, lest thou be forgotten. 13:11 Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe not his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets: 13:12 But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison. 13:13 Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy overthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy sleep. 13:14 Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation. 13:15 Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his neighbor. 13:16 All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave to his like. 13:17 What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? so the sinner with the godly. 13:18 What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor? 13:19 As the wild ass is the lion’s prey in the wilderness: so the rich eat up the poor. 13:20 As the proud hate humility: so doth the rich abhor the poor. 13:21 A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends: but a poor man being down is thrust away by his friends. 13:22 When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him: the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; he spake wisely, and could have no place. 13:23 When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him. 13:24 Riches are good unto him that hath no sin, and poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly. 13:25 The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it be for good or evil: and a merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. 13:26 A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in prosperity; and the finding out of parables is a wearisome labour of the mind. 14:1 Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins. 14:2 Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord. 14:3 Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money? 14:4 He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously. 14:5 He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods. 14:6 There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness. 14:7 And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
