19
Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten
thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most
secret parts.
20
He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also after they were perfected he looked
upon them all.
21
This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspecteth not he shall be
taken.
22
Thus shall it go also with the wife that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another.
23
For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed
against her own husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children
by another man.
24
She shall be brought out into the congregation, and inquisition shall be made of her children.
25
Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall bring forth no fruit.
26
She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her reproach shall not be blotted out.
27
And they that remain shall know that there is nothing better than the fear of the Lord, and that
there is nothing sweeter than to take heed unto the commandments of the Lord.
28
It is great glory to follow the Lord, and to be received of him is long life.
CHAPTER 24
Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.
2
In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.
3
I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.
4
I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.
5
I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep.
6
In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.
7
With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide?
8
So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle
to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.
9
He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.
10
In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.
11
Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.
12
And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance.
13
I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
14
I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree
in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.
