19 Otherwise, God may forget you, when you are in their sight, and then you would be repeatedly ridiculed and would suffer disgrace, and you might wish that you had never been born, and you might curse the day of your nativity.
20 The man who is accustomed to disgraceful words will not accept instruction, all the days of his life.
21 Two kinds of persons abound in sins, and a third adds wrath and perdition.
