1-2. Don’t envy bad people;don’t even want to be around them.All they think about is causing a disturbance;all they talk about is making trouble.
10. If you fall to pieces in a crisis,there wasn’t much to you in the first place.
11-12. Rescue the perishing;don’t hesitate to step in and help.If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,”will that get you off the hook?Someone is watching you closely, you know—Someone not impressed with weak excuses.
13-14. Eat honey, dear child—it’s good for you—and delicacies that melt in your mouth.Likewise knowledge,and wisdom for your soul—Get that and your future’s secured,your hope is on solid rock.
