. . . . . . . . that honoureth his mother.

My son, in word and in deed honour thy father; that all blessings may overtake thee.

The blessing of a father settleth the root; but the curse of a mother plucketh up the plant.

Take not honour to thyself by the shame of thy father; for it is no honour unto thee.

The honour of his father is a man's honour; and he that curseth his mother doth greatly sin.

My son, be stedfast in honouring thy father; and forsake him not all the days of thy life.

Yea, and though his mind fail, bear with him; and dishonour him not all the days of his life.

Benefaction to a father shall not be blotted out; but it shall be planted instead of sin.

In the day of affliction it shall be remembered unto thee, as heat upon hoar frost, to do away thine iniquities.

For he that despiseth his father doeth presumptuously; and he that curseth his mother angereth his Creator.

My son, in thy wealth walk in meekness; and thou shalt be more beloved than he that giveth gifts.

Minish thy soul from all the great things of the world; and before God thou shalt find mercy.

For great is the mercy of God; and He revealeth His secret to the meek.

Search not the things that are too wonderful for thee; and seek not that which is hid from thee.

What thou art permitted, think thereupon; but thou hast no business with the secret things.

And intrude not into that which is beyond thee; for thou hast been shewed that which is too great for thee.

For many are the conceits of the sons of men; and the imaginations of thoughts that make them to err.

A hard heart shall fare ill at the last; but he that loveth good things will guide himself therein.

Many are the sorrows of a hard heart; and he that is confident addeth iniquity to iniquity.

Without the apple of the eye light faileth; and without knowledge wisdom faileth.

Haste not to heal the stroke of the scorner; for there is no healing it: for he is a plant of evil planting.

A wise heart will understand parables of the wise; and the ear that hearkeneth to wisdom shall rejoice.

Waters quench flaming fire; so righteousness wipeth out sin.

Whoso doeth good, it shall meet him in his ways; and in the time that he tottereth he shall find a stay.
