Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
