16. Whoever fears the Lord will understand what is right,and out of obscurity he will draw forth a course of action.
17. The lawless turn aside warningsand distort the law to suit their purpose.
18. The sensible will not neglect direction;the proud and insolent are deterred by no fear.
19. Do nothing without deliberation;then once you have acted, have no regrets.
20. Do not go on a way set with snares,and do not stumble on the same thing twice.
21. Do not trust the road, because of bandits;
22. be careful on your paths.
23. Whatever you do, be on your guard,for whoever does so keeps the commandments.
24. Whoever keeps the law preserves himself;and whoever trusts in the Lord shall not be put to shame.
