My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:

To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;

Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?

For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me.

The upright man is taken out of trouble, and in his place comes the sinner.

With his mouth the evil man sends destruction on his neighbour; but through knowledge the upright are taken out of trouble.

In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.

The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.

A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.

Further, without knowledge desire is not good; and he who is over-quick in acting goes out of the right way.

A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will not go free.

A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will be cut off.

A man of great wrath will have to take his punishment: for if you get him out of trouble you will have to do it again.

Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.

What am I to say to you, O Lemuel, my oldest son? and what, O son of my body? and what, O son of my oaths?
