33:16 I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.
33:17 Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning.
33:18 Hear me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.
33:19 Give not thy son and wife, thy brother and friend, power over thee while thou livest, and give not thy goods to another: lest it repent thee, and thou intreat for the same again.
33:20 As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee, give not thyself over to any.
33:21 For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy.
33:22 In all thy works keep to thyself the preeminence; leave not a stain in thine honour.
33:23 At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance.
33:24 Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant.
33:25 If thou set thy servant to labour, thou shalt find rest: but if thou let him go idle, he shall seek liberty.
