Therefore shall I also laugh in your destruction, and mock you, when the thing that ye fear cometh upon you:

even when the thing that ye be afraid of, falleth in suddenly like a storm, and your misery like a tempest: yea, when trouble and heaviness cometh upon you.

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and thy soul delighteth in knowledge;

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither faint when thou are rebuked of him.

Thou needest not to be afraid of any sudden fear, neither for the violent rushing of the ungodly, when it cometh.

For when I myself was my father's dear son, and tenderly beloved of my mother,

So that if thou goest therein, there shall no straitness hinder thee: and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall.

Yea, that thou mourn not at the last, when thou hast spent thy body and goods,

Therefore my son, do this: and thou shalt be discharged, when thou art come into thy neighbour's danger. Go thy ways then soon, and entreat thy neighbour:

How long wilt thou sleep, thou sluggish man? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

That they may lead thee where thou goest, preserve thee when thou art asleep, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talk of them.

Men do not utterly despise a thief, that stealeth to satisfy his soul, when he is hungry:

in the twilight of the evening, when it began now to be night and dark.

He hath taken the bag of money with him: who can tell when he cometh home?"

suddenly to follow her - as it were an ox to the slaughter, and like as it were a fool that laugheth when he goeth to the stocks to be punished -

When I was born, there were neither depths nor springs of water.

For when he made the heavens, I was present; when he set up the depths in order;

when he hanged the clouds above; when he fastened the springs of the deep;

When he shut the sea within certain bounds, that the waters should not go over their marks. When he laid the foundations of the earth,

When an ungodly man dieth, his hope is gone; the confidence of riches shall perish.

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city is merry; and when the ungodly perish, there is gladness.

When the just are in wealth, the city prospereth; but when the ungodly have the rule, it decayeth.

A wise son will receive his father's warning; but he that is scornful, will not hear when he is reproved.

Hope deferred grieveth the heart; but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

When a desire is brought to pass, it delighteth the soul; but fools count it abomination to depart from evil.

A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that taketh heed when he is reproved, shall have the more understanding.

A joyful thing it is to a man, when his counsel is followed; and very pleasant is a word spoken in due season.

The LORD doth all things for his own sake; yea, and when he keepeth the ungodly for the day of wrath.

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh his very enemies to be his friends.

When the prophecy is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not go wrong in judgment.

It is a great abomination when kings are wicked; for a king's seat should be holden up with righteousness.

Yea, a very fool, when he holdeth his tongue, is counted wise; and to have understanding, when he shutteth his lips.

A good stomach driveth away a man's disease; but when the spirit is vexed, who may abide it?

"It is naught; It is naught," sayeth he that buyeth anything: but when he cometh to his own house, then he boasteth of his pennyworth.

When the scornful is punished, the ignorant take the better heed; and when a wise man is warned, he will receive the more understanding.

If thou teachest a child in his youth what way he should go; he shall not leave it when he is old.

When thou sittest at the table to eat with a lord, order thyself mannerly with the things that are set before thee.

Give ear unto thy father that begat thee; and despise not thy mother when she is old.

"They wounded me," shalt thou say, "but it hath not hurt me. They smote me, but I felt it not. When I am well awakened, I will go to the drink again."

Rejoice not thou at the fall of thine enemy; and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth.

Lest the LORD, when he seeth it, be angry and turn his wrath from him unto thee.

Be not hasty to go to the law, lest thou knowest not what to do when thy neighbor hath confounded thee.

Silver is tried in the mould, and gold in the furnace, and so is a man, when he is openly praised to his face.

When righteous men are in prosperity, then doth honour flourish; but when the ungodly come up, the state of men changeth.

When the ungodly are come up, men are fain to hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.

When the ungodly come up, wickedness increaseth; but the righteous shall see their fall.

Such is the way also of a wife that breaketh wedlock, which wipeth her mouth like as when she hath eaten, and sayeth, "As for me, I have done no harm."

Her husband is much set by in the gates, when he sitteth among the rulers of the land.
