Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

When your terror comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes upon you.

If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;

For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day.

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

For the lips of an immoral woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

Let her be as the loving deer and graceful doe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be ravished always with her love.

Deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.

He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Till an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life.

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the first of the dust of the world.

Whosoever is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that lacks understanding, she says to him,

Whosoever is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that lacks understanding, she says to him,

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is of little worth.

It is as sport to a fool to do wrong: but a man of understanding has wisdom.

As the whirlwind passes, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

As righteousness leads to life: so he that pursues evil pursues it to his own death.

They that are of a perverse heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a beautiful woman who is without discretion.

He that trusts in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made a highway.

The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will appease it.

In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.

Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

A bribe is as a magic stone in the eyes of him that gives it: wherever he turns, he prospers.

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.

A slothful man hides his hand in his dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whosoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

Take his garment who is surety for a stranger: and hold it as a pledge of him for an immoral woman.

He that goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets: therefore associate not with him who flatters with his lips.

Blows of a wound cleanse away evil: as do stripes the inner depths of the heart.

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.

The way of man is perverse and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

A wicked man hardens his face: but as for the upright, he considers his way.

Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart is not with you.

She also lies in wait as for a prey, and increases the unfaithful among men.

Yea, you shall be as he that lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lies upon the top of a mast.

Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

Have you found honey? eat only as much as is sufficient for you, lest you be filled with it, and vomit it.

As he that takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, so is he that sings songs to a heavy heart.

As cold water is to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a muddied fountain, and a polluted spring.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause shall not alight.

As he that binds a stone in a sling, so is he that gives honor to a fool.

As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.

As the door turns upon its hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.

As a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man that wanders from his place.

Take his garment who is surety for a stranger, and hold it as a pledge of him for an immoral woman.

As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man to man.

As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man judged by his praise.

The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

As a roaring lion, and a charging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
