Morris.] 6A4: [Oct. 5, 



15 In the day of good live in the good : 

 And consider in the day of evil. 



Consider indeed : God has made this harmoniously with that, concern- 

 ing talk, 

 That man should find nothing beyond him. 



TYRIAN. 



16 I have seen all these things in my perplexity. 



There is a righteous man, destroyed in his righteousness : 

 And there is a wicked man, remaining in his wickedness. 



17 Be not righteous over much, 

 Nor be excessively wise — 

 Lest thou perish : 



18 Be not wicked over much, 

 And become not hardened — 

 Lest thou die before thy time. 



19 It is good to restrain thyself in this. 



And indeed not to soil tliy hand with that — 

 All things shall come to those who fear God. 



SOLOMON. 



20 Wisdom shall help a wise man 



More than ten powerful ones in a city. 



TYRIAN. 



31 For there is no just man in the earth, 

 "Who shall do right and not sin. 



22 And indeed lay not to heart all words spoken by the wicked, 

 That thou hear not thy slave curse thee : 



For very often it would do thee harm. 

 And afflict in many ways thy heart : 



23 Because so also thou hast cursed others. 



SOLOMON. 



24 All these things have I proved in wisdom : 

 I said, I will become wise : 



25 But she (wisdom) was far from me. 

 Beyond where she had been — 



A depth of depth — who shall find it ? 



26 I turned about, I and my heart, 



To know and to seek and to search out 

 Wisdom, and a sure calculation : 

 And to know the folly and hardness 

 And madness of the impious : 



27 And I find it, and declare it more bitter than death. 

 Even as the woman who is a snare ; 



Her heart is a net ;
