15Who so giueth eare vnto her, shall iudge the nations, and he that attendeth vnto her, shall dwell securely. 16If a man commit himselfe vnto her, he shall inherite her, and his generation shall hold her in possession. 17For at the first she will walke with him by crooked wayes, and bring feare and dread vpon him, and torment him with her discipline, vntill she may trust his soule, and try him by her Lawes. 18Then wil she returne the straight way vnto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets. 19But if he goe wrong, she will forsake him, and giue him ouer to his owne ruine.
