In context
10 [If] thou faintest in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.
11 If thou forbearest to deliver [them that are] drawn to death, and [those that are] ready to be slain;
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider [it]? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth [not] he know [it]? and will [not] he render to [every] man according to his works?
13 My son, eat thou honey, because [it is] good; and the honey-comb, [which is] sweet to thy taste:
14 So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] to thy soul: when thou hast found [it], then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15 Lay not wait, O wicked [man], against the dwelling of the righteous; destroy not his resting-place:
16 For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
