For
whoso despiseth wisdom and
nurture, he is
miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:

nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a
shepherd his flock.

fool will
peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well
nurtured will stand without.
A very little is sufficient for a man well
nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.
The life of him that dependeth on another man’s table is not to be counted for a life; for he polluteth himself with other men’s meat: but a wise man well
nurtured will
beware thereof.
