    There is some soul of goodness in things evil,
    Would men observingly distill it out;
    For our bad neighbor makes us early stirrers,
    Which is both healthful, and good husbandry.

But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your
children, and will not keep my read more

But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your
children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which
I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship
them:
Then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given
them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I
cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword
among all people:
And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it
shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath
the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?

Think nought a trifle, though it small appear;
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And read more

Think nought a trifle, though it small appear;
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life.

And hang a calf's skin on those recreant limbs.

A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,
Self-mettle tires him.
