thus speaks the man to the ones trusting in God and I will cease
most foolish for I am all of men and intelligence of man is not in me
the God has taught me wisdom and knowledge of the holies I know
Who ascended into the heaven and came down Who brought together winds in bosom Who bundled up waters in cloak Who holds all the extremities of the earth What name to him or what name to his children that you should know
For all for words of God purified shields and he the venerating him
not add to the words his lest not reprove you and false become
Two I ask from you not remove from me favor before the dying me
vain word and false far from me appoint riches and and poverty not to me give order up and for me the necessary and the self-sufficient
that not filled false become and should say Who me sees Or to be in need steal and swear the name of the God
not deliver bondservant into hands master lest curse you and obliterated
progeny bad father curses of the and mother not bless
progeny bad just himself judges the and going out his not washes
progeny bad lofty eyes has to the and eyelids his lifts up
progeny bad swords teeth has and the molars as pruning knives so as to consume the weak from the earth and the needy of them from men
to the leech three daughters were in affection being loved the three these not fulfill her and the fourth not sufficient to say Enough
Hades and passion of a woman and earth not filled with water and water and fire in no way shall say sufficies
eye ridiculing father and dishonoring old age mother cut it out it crows from the ravines and devour it young of eagles
three things and there are impossible for me comprehend and the fourth not know
traces eagle flying and ways serpent upon rock and paths ship passing through sea and ways man in youth
Such way woman adulterous the whenever acts washing not says acted out of place
By three is shaken the earth the and fourth not able bear
if servant reign and fool filled with food
and female servant if cast out the her own lady and hateful wife if attain man good
four and there are lesser things upon the earth these and are wiser the wise
the ants in whom not is strength and prepare summer the nourishment
and the rabbits nation not strong the ones making in rocks their own houses
independent is the locust but marches from one word of command orderly
and newt hands sticking and easily caught being dwells in fortresses of kings
three and there are which prosperously go and the fourth which well passes over
cub lion stronger beasts which not turn away nor struck with awe beast
and rooster walking about in females confidently and he-goat leading of flock of goats and king delivering address to nation
if let go yourself in gladness and stretch out the hand your for fight dishonored
Extract milk and there will be butter but if but pressure nostrils come forth blood and if and drag out words come forth litigations and fights
