A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; (But) it shall not come nigh thee.
To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?
For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
