To execute against them the judgment written. This is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse.

Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Guarding the paths of justice, And He watches over the way of His godly ones.

My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD Or loathe His rebuke,

By His knowledge the ocean depths were burst open, And the clouds drip with dew.

Do not envy a violent person, And do not choose any of his ways.

For the ways of everyone are before the eyes of the LORD, And He observes all his paths.

His own wrongdoings will trap the wicked, And he will be held by the ropes of his sin.

He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray.

Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who points with his fingers;

Who, with perversion in his heart, continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.

Therefore his disaster will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.

Can anyone take fire in his lap And his clothes not be burned?

Or can a person walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?

So is the one who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.

But when he is found, he must repay seven times as much; He must give up all the property of his house.

He will find wounds and disgrace, And his shame will not be removed.

Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hurries to the snare, So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
