41:19 And of theft in regard of the place where thou sojournest, and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean with thine elbow upon the meat; and of scorning to give and take; 41:20 And of silence before them that salute thee; and to look upon an harlot; 41:21 And to turn away thy face from thy kinsman; or to take away a portion or a gift; or to gaze upon another man’s wife. 41:22 Or to be overbusy with his maid, and come not near her bed; or of upbraiding speeches before friends; and after thou hast given, upbraid not; 41:23 Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast heard; and of revealing of secrets. 41:24 So shalt thou be truly shamefaced and find favour before all men. 42:1 Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby: 42:2 Of the law of the most High, and his covenant; and of judgment to justify the ungodly; 42:3 Of reckoning with thy partners and travellers; or of the gift of the heritage of friends; 42:4 Of exactness of balance and weights; or of getting much or little; 42:5 And of merchants’ indifferent selling; of much correction of children; and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed. 42:6 Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; and shut up, where many hands are. 42:7 Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in. 42:8 Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young: thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living. 42:9 The father waketh for the daughter, when no man knoweth; and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she should be hated: 42:10 In her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her father’s house; and having an husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she should be barren. 42:11 Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude. 42:12 Behold not every body’s beauty, and sit not in the midst of women. 42:13 For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. 42:14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach. 42:15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen: In the words of the Lord are his works. 42:16 The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord. 42:17 The Lord hath not given power to the saints to declare all his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, that whatsoever is might be established for his glory.
