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

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

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

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

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

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

For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honey-comb, 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 hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy want as an armed man.

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

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

Till a dart striketh through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

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

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

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

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

As the whirlwind passeth, 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 tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

They that are of a froward 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 fair woman who is without discretion.

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

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

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

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

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

Pleasant words are as a honey-comb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

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

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore withdraw from contention, before it be meddled with.

The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.

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

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

The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoever provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

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

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

A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

Wilt thou set thy eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make to themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

And thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

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

So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth; and thy want as an armed man.

As an ear-ring 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 refresheth the soul of his masters.

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled with it, and vomit it.

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre; so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.

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

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

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

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.

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

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

As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

As a mad man who casteth fire-brands, arrows, and death,

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

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

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

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

As the fining-pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: 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 ranging 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.

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
