In context
10 If thou bee faint in the day of aduersitie, thy strength is small.
11 Deliuer them that are drawen to death: wilt thou not preserue them that are led to be slaine?
12 If thou say, Beholde, we knew not of it: he that pondereth the heartes, doeth not hee vnderstand it? and hee that keepeth thy soule, knoweth he it not? will not he also recompense euery man according to his workes?
13 My sonne, eate hony, for it is good, and the hony combe, for it is sweete vnto thy mouth.
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdome be vnto thy soule, if thou finde it, and there shall be an ende, and thine hope shall not be cut off.
15 Laye no waite, O wicked man, against the house of the righteous, and spoyle not his resting place.
16 For a iust man falleth seuen times, and riseth againe: but the wicked fall into mischiefe.
