"The purpose of the foolish is sin: and the hater of authority is disgusting to others."
— Proverbs 24:9, Bible in Basic English
For by wise guiding you will overcome in war: and in a number of wise guides there is salvation.
Wisdom is outside the power of the foolish: he keeps his mouth shut in the public place.
He whose purposes are bad will be named a man of evil designs.
The purpose of the foolish is sin: and the hater of authority is disgusting to others.
If you give way in the day of trouble, your strength is small.
Be the saviour of those who are given up to death, and do not keep back help from those who are slipping to destruction.
If you say, See, we had no knowledge of this: does not the tester of hearts give thought to it? and he who keeps your soul, has he no knowledge of it? and will he not give to every man the reward of his work?
