Instruction from the wise is like a life-giving fountain, to turn a person from deadly snares.

The teaching of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence.

The fear of the Lord is like a life-giving fountain, to turn people from deadly snares.

The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me.

The ropes of Sheol tightened around me; the snares of death trapped me.

The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.

For because of me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.

The path of life is upward for the wise person, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.

Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased; through fearing the Lord one avoids evil.

The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil; the one who guards his way safeguards his life.

Insight is like a life-giving fountain to the one who possesses it, but folly leads to the discipline of fools.
