7And though thy beginning was small, yet thine end shall be very great.

8For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers;
8For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,

10Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
10Do they not shew thee--speak to thee, And from their heart bring forth words?
11Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water?
11`Doth a rush wise without mire? A reed increase without water?
12Whilst it is yet in its greenness [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] grass.
12While it <FI>is<Fi> in its budding--uncropped, Even before any herb it withereth.
13So are the paths of all that forgetGod; and the profane man's hope shall perish,
13So <FI>are<Fi> the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish,
14Whose confidence shall be cut off, and his reliance is a spider's web.
14Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider his trust.
15He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.

16He is full of sap before the sun, and his sprout shooteth forth over his garden;
16Green he <FI>is<Fi> before the sun, And over his garden his branch goeth out.

17By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he looketh for.
18If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him: I have not seen thee!
18If <FI>one<Fi> doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee!
19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow.
19Lo, this <FI>is<Fi> the joy of his way, And from the dust others spring up.'
20Behold,God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.
20Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers.
