Rh :He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it;
 * And whoso breaketh through a fence, a serpent shall bite him.
 * Whoso quarrieth stones shall be hurt therewith;
 * And he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.
 * If the iron be blunt,
 * And one do not whet the edge,
 * Then must he put to more strength;
 * But wisdom is profitable to direct.
 * If the serpent bite before it is charmed,
 * Then the charmer hath no advantage.


 * The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious;
 * But the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
 * The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness;
 * And the end of his talk is grievous madness.
 * A fool also multiplieth words;
 * Yet man knoweth not what shall be;
 * And that which shall be after him,
 * Who can tell him?
 * The labour of fools wearieth every one of them,
 * For he knoweth not how to go to the city.


 * Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a boy,
 * And thy princes feast in the morning!
 * Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is a free man,
 * And thy princes eat in due season,
 * In strength, and not in drunkenness!


 * By slothfulness the rafters sink in;
 * And through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.


 * A feast is made for laughter,
 * And wine maketh glad the life;
 * And money answereth all things.


 * Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought,
 * And curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber;
 * For a bird of the air shall carry the voice,
 * And that which hath wings shall tell the matter.


 * Cast thy bread upon the waters,
 * For thou shalt find it after many days.
 * Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into eight;
 * For thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
 * If the clouds be full of rain,
 * They empty themselves upon the earth;
 * And if a tree fall in the south, or in the north,
 * In the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be.
 * He that observeth the wind shall not sow;
 * And he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
 * As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind,
 * Nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child;
 * Even so thou knowest not the work of God
 * Who doeth all things.
 * In the morning sow thy seed,
 * And in the evening withhold not thy hand;
 * For thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that,
 * Or whether they both shall be alike good.
 * And the light is sweet,
 * And a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.
 * For if a man live many years,
 * Let him rejoice in them all,
