Beside gates, before towns, [at the] entrance of doors, she cries out:

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth was.

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

before He made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.

Then I was by him, like a master workman: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

He who goes on his way in righteousness has before him the fear of the Lord; but he whose ways are twisted gives him no honour.

Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.

There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.

An unthinking person believes everything, but the prudent one thinks before acting.

The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

Sheol and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

The mind of the righteous person thinks before answering,
but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things.

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.

The beginning of strife is like releasing water: therefore leave off contention, before a quarrel starts.

A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.

Many will seek favor before the generous, and everyone [is] the friend of a man of gifts.

Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

See you a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before obscure men.

When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:

For it is better to have it said to you, Come up here; than for you to be put down in a lower place before the ruler.

Do not rush out to argue your case [before magistrates or judges];
Otherwise what will you do in the end [when your case is lost and]
When your neighbor (opponent) humiliates you?

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

Though his hatred cover itself with guile, His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?

Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me them not before I die:

Do not slander or malign a servant before his master [stay out of another’s personal life],
Or he will curse you [for your interference], and you will be found guilty.

and doesn’t retreat before anything,

She considers a field before she buys or accepts it [expanding her business prudently];
With her profits she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.
