9 Praise is not beautiful in the mouth of a sinner.
10 For wisdom was sent from God. And praise will stand before the wisdom of God, and praise will abound in the mouths of the faithful, and the sovereign Lord will give praise to wisdom.

12 You should not say: 'He has led me astray.' For the impious are of no use to him.
