In context
10 Thou hast been slothful in the day of straitness, Strait, is thy strength.
11 Deliver thou such as are being led forth to death, and, them who are tottering to slaughter, oh that thou wouldst hold back!
12 Though thou say, Lo! we knew not this, Shall not, he that proveth hearts, himself, discern? And, he that formeth thy soul, himself, know? and bring back to a son of earth according to his deed?
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good,—and droppings from the comb [because they are] sweet to thy palate:
14 Thus, take knowledge of wisdom, for thine own soul; If thou find it, then there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait, thou lawless man, against the home of the righteous,—neither destroy thou his place of rest;
16 For, seven times, may the righteous fall and yet arise, but, lawless men, shall stumble into calamity.
