2 Ciertamente que vosotros sois el pueblo; y con vosotros morirá la sabiduría.
3 También tengo yo seso como vosotros; no soy yo menos que vosotros: ¿y quién habrá que no pueda decir otro tanto?
4 Yo soy uno de quien su amigo se mofa, que invoca á Dios, y él le responde: con todo, el justo y perfecto es escarnecido.
5 Aquel cuyos pies van á resbalar, [es como] una lámpara despreciada de aquel que está á sus anchuras.
6 Prosperan las tiendas de los ladrones, y los que provocan á Dios viven seguros; en cuyas manos él ha puesto [cuanto tienen].
