16. He that forsakes his father is as a blasphemer; And he that provoketh his mother is cursed of the Lord.
17. My son, go on with your business in meekness; So shall you be beloved of an acceptable man.
18. The greater you are, humble yourself the more, And you shall find favor before the Lord.
20. For great is the potency of the Lord, And he is glorified of them that are lowly.
21. Seek not things that are too hard for you, And search not out things that are above your strength.
22. The things that have been commanded you, think thereupon; For you have no need of the things that are secret.
