1. Not so he that has applied his soul, And meditateth in the law of the Most High; He will seek out the wisdom of all the ancients, And will be occupied in prophecies.
2. He will keep the discourse of the men of renown, And will enter in amidst the subtilties of parables.
3. He will seek out the hidden meaning of proverbs, And be conversant in the dark sayings of parables.
