1
Of these things be not thou ashamed and accept no person to sin thereby
2
Of the law of the most High and his covenant and of judgment to justify the ungodly
3
Of reckoning with thy partners and travellers or of the gift of the heritage of friends
4
Of exactness of balance and weights or of getting much or little
5
And of me hants’ indifferent selling of much correction of children and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed
6
Sure keeping is good where an evil wife is and shut up where many hands are
7
Deliver all things in number and weight and put all in writing that thou givest out or receivest in
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
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
10
In her virginity lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her ather’s house and having an husband lest she should misbehave herself and when she is married lest she should be barren
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
12
Behold not eve body’s beauty and sit not in the midst of women
13
For from garments cometh a moth and from women wickedness
14
Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman a woman I say which bringeth shame and reproach
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
16
The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord
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
18
He seeketh out the deep and the heart and considereth their crafty devices for the Lord knoweth all that may be known and he beholdeth the signs of the world
19
He declareth the things that are past and for to come and revealeth the steps of hidden things
20
No thought escapeth him neither any word is hidden from him
21
He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom and he is from everlasting to everlasting unto him may nothing be added neither can he be diminished and he hath no need of any counsellor
22
Oh how desirable are all his works and that a man may see even to a spark
23
All these things live and remain for ever for all uses and they are all obedient
24
All things are double one against another and he hath made nothing imperfect
25
One thing establisheth the good or another and who shall be filled with beholding his glory
