3.与合作伙伴或旅伴记账，以及分配友人的遗产；of keeping accounts with a partner or with traveling companions, and of dividing the inheritance of friends;
4.称量公平准确，赚取或多或少；of accuracy with scales and weights, and of acquiring much or little;
5.从商人交往中获取利益，对子女的诸多管教，以及严厉鞭打邪恶的仆人。of profit from dealing with merchants, and of much discipline of children, and of whipping a wicked servant severely.
6.家有恶妻，封条为好；人多手杂，物品当锁。Where there is an evil wife, a seal is a good thing; and where there are many hands, lock things up.
7.无论你分发什么，都要按数量和重量来分，并记录下你所有给出和收入的东西。Whatever you deal out, let it be by number and weight, and make a record of all that you give out or take in.
8.不要以指教愚顽之人和蠢笨之人为耻，也不要以指教那与年轻人争吵的老者为耻。这样，你就必真正得着指教，并在众人面前蒙悦纳。Do not be ashamed to instruct the stupid or foolish or the aged man who quarrels with the young. Then you will be truly instructed, and will be approved before all men.
9.论女儿与父亲 女儿使父亲暗中难以安眠，对她的忧虑剥夺了他的睡眠；她年幼时，父亲担忧她不能出嫁；若已出嫁，则担忧她遭丈夫厌弃；Daughters and Fathers A daughter keeps her father secretly wakeful, and worry over her robs him of sleep; when she is young, lest she do not marry, or if married, lest she be hated;

12.不要因美貌而注视任何人，也不要坐在妇女中间；Do not look upon any one for beauty, and do not sit in the midst of women;
13.因为衣服中生出蛀虫，妇女中生出妇女的邪恶。for from garments comes the moth, and from a woman comes woman’s wickedness.
14.男人的邪恶胜过行善的女人，因为使人蒙羞耻辱的是女人。Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good; and it is a woman who brings shame and disgrace.
15.自然界中神的作为
我现在要回想主的作为，并要述说我所看见的。主的话语成就了他的作为。The Works of God in Nature I will now call to mind the works of the Lord, and will declare what I have seen. By the words of the Lord his works are done.
16.太阳以光明照耀万物，主的作为彰显其荣耀。The sun looks down on everything with its light, and the work of the Lord is full of his glory.
17.主未曾使他的圣徒能够尽述他一切的奇妙作为，这些作为是全能的主所设立的，为要使万物在他的荣耀中得以坚立。The Lord has not enabled his holy ones to recount all his marvelous works, which the Lord the Almighty has established that the universe may stand firm in his glory.
18.他探察深渊，鉴察人心，审度他们诡诈的谋划。因为至高者洞悉一切可知之事，他明察时世的征兆。He searches out the abyss, and the hearts of men, and considers their crafty devices. For the Most High knows all that may be known, and he looks into the signs of the age.
19.他宣告已经发生的事和将要发生的事，并揭示隐秘之事的轨迹。He declares what has been and what is to be, and he reveals the tracks of hidden things.

21.他命定了智慧的辉煌，他从亘古直到永远。无可增，无可减，他不需要任何人作他的谋士。He has ordained the splendors of his wisdom, and he is from everlasting and to everlasting. Nothing can be added or taken away, and he needs no one to be his counselor.
22.他的一切作为多么令人渴慕，观看时多么闪耀夺目！How greatly to be desired are all his works, and how sparkling they are to see!
23.这一切都活着，永存不废，为应付一切需要而预备，且都顺服。All these things live and remain for ever for every need, and are all obedient.
24.一切都是两两相对，一件与另一件相反，他所造的没有不齐全的。All things are twofold, one opposite the other, and he has made nothing incomplete.
25.这一个印证那一个的美善，谁能看够他的荣耀呢？One confirms the good things of the other, and who can have enough of beholding his glory?
