For many are the conceits of the sons of men; And the imaginations of thoughts (H) that make them to err.

A hard heart shall fare ill at the last; But he that loveth good things will guide himself therein.

Many are the sorrows of a hard heart; And he that is confident addeth iniquity to iniquity.

Without the apple of the eye light faileth; And without knowledge wisdom faileth.

Haste not to heal the stroke of the scorner; For there is no healing it: for he is a plant of evil planting.

A wise heart will understand parables of the wise; And the ear that hearkeneth to wisdom shall rejoice.
