Seven sons and three daughters were born to him; and he had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of work animals, so that he was greater than any of the men of the East.4His sons used to take turns giving feasts, sending invitations to their three sisters to eat and drink with them. Wise sayings and Metaphors: Proverbs Ecclesiastes, Sirach, Wisdom He who walks honestly walks securely, but he whose ways are crooked will fare badly.10He who winks at a fault causes trouble, but he who frankly reproves promotes peace.11A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence (Proverbs10:9-11). Poetry: Song of Songs, Psalms On my bed at night I sought him whom my heart loves- I sought him but I did not find him.2I will rise then and go about the city; in the streets and crossings I will seek Him whom my heart loves. I sought him but I did not find him. (Song of Songs 3:1-2) Prayer: Psalms Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me whiter than snow.10Let me hear sounds of joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.11Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my guilt.12A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit. (Psalm 51:9-12) 3
