22 bear for a season,

And afterward gladness shall spring up unto him;

24 for a season,

And the lips of many shall tell forth his understanding.

25 Lord;

And come not unto him Cp. James 4.8.with a double heart.

29Be not a hypocrite in the mouths of men;

See ch. 4.29. And take good heed to thy lips.

30 Mat. 23.12. Luke 14.11 & 18.14. Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall,

And bring dishonour upon thy soul;

And so the Lord shall reveal thy secrets,

And shall cast thee down Prov. 5.14 & 26.26.in the midst of the congregation;

Because thou camest not unto the fear of the Lord,

And thy heart was full of deceit.
