¹²In old age is wisdom, and in length of days is prudence.

²⁰Then the watchman gave a report, saying: “He went all the way to them, but he did not return. But their advance is like the advance of Jehu, the son of Nimshi. For he advances precipitously.”

²⁴Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment.”

¹Listen, sons, to the discipline of a father, and pay attention, so that you may know prudence. ²I will bestow upon you a good gift. Do not relinquish my law. ³For I, too, was the son of my father, tender and an only son in the sight of my mother. ⁴And he taught me, and he also said: “Let your heart accept my words. Keep my precepts, and you shall live. ⁵Obtain wisdom, obtain prudence. May you neither forget, nor turn away from, the words of my mouth. ⁶Do not send her away, and she will guard you. Love her, and she will preserve you.

⁷Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

²⁴Until now, you have not requested anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be full.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

³⁴Then, Peter, opening his mouth, said: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons. ³⁵But within every nation, whoever fears him and works justice is acceptable to him.

¹¹Woe to you who rise up in the morning to pursue drunkenness, and to drink even until evening, so as to be inflamed with wine.

²⁵Let your eyes look straight ahead, and let your eyelids precede your steps. ²⁶Direct the path of your feet, and all your ways shall be secure. ²⁷Turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left; yet turn your foot away from evil. For the Lord knows the ways that are on the right, and truly, those that are on the left are perverse. But he himself will make your courses straight. Then your journey will advance in peace.

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age.

¹⁷Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.

¹⁰You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner.

²⁴God is Spirit. And so, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

¹It is a luxurious thing, wine, and inebriation is tumultuous. Anyone who is delighted by this will not be wise.

²³Do not continue to drink only water, but make use of a little wine, for the sake of your stomach and your frequent infirmities.

¹⁹Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord.”

²³Thus says the Lord: “The wise man should not glory in his wisdom, and the strong man should not glory in his strength, and the rich man should not glory in his riches. ²⁴But he who glories should glory in this: to know me and to know me well. For I am the Lord, who accomplishes mercy and judgment and justice upon the earth. For these things are pleasing to me, says the Lord.

¹⁸And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
