33:6. A friend that is a mocker, is like a stallion horse: he neigheth
under every one that sitteth upon him.
33:7. Why doth one day excel another, and one light another, and one
year another year, when all come of the sun?
33:8. By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished, the sun
being made, and keeping his commandment.
33:9. And he ordered the seasons, and holidays of them, and in them they
celebrated festivals at an hour.
33:10. Some of them God made high and great days, and some of them he
put in the number of ordinary days. And all men are from the ground, and
out of the earth, from whence Adam was created.
33:11. With much knowledge the Lord hath divided them and diversified
their ways.
33:12. Some of them hath he blessed, and exalted: and some of them hath
he sanctified, and set near himself: and some of them hath he cursed and
brought low, and turned them from their station.
33:13. As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it:
33:14. All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand
of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his
judgment.
33:15. Good is set against evil, and life against death: so also is the
sinner against a just man. And so look upon all the works of the most
High. Two and two, and one against another.
33:16. And I awaked last of all, and as one that gathereth after the
grapegatherers.
33:17. In the blessing of God I also have hoped: and as one that
gathereth grapes, have I filled the winepress.
33:18. See that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that
seek discipline.
33:19. Hear me, ye great men, and all ye people, and hearken with your
ears, ye rulers of the church.
33:20. Give not to son or wife, brother or friend, power over thee while
thou livest; and give not thy estate to another, lest thou repent, and
thou entreat for the same.
33:21. As long as thou livest, and hast breath in thee, let no man
change thee.
Change thee... That is, so as to have this power over thee.
33:22. For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that
thou look toward the hands of thy children.
33:23. In all thy works keep the pre-eminence.
The pre-eminence... That is, be master in thy own house, and part not
with thy authority.
33:24. Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the
days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy
inheritance.
33:25. Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and
correction, and work for a slave.
33:26. He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands
be idle, and he seeketh liberty.
33:27. The yoke and the thong bend a stiff neck, and continual labours
bow a slave.
33:28. Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work,
that he be not idle:
33:29. For idleness hath taught much evil.
