She calls out at the busiest part of the noisy streets, and at the entrance to the gates of the city she utters her words:

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and they drink the wine of violence.

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hunter's hand, or like a bird from a fowler's hand.

because the price of a whore is a loaf of bread, and an adulterous woman stalks a man's precious life.

at twilight, during the evening, even during the darkest part of the night.

until an arrow pierces his liver. As a bird darts into a snare, he doesn't realize his fatal decision.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. Pride, arrogance, an evil lifestyle, and perverted speech I despise.

When there were no ocean depths, I brought them to birth at a time when there were no springs.

The wise person accepts commands, but the chattering fool will be brought down.

Those who wink their eyes are trouble makers, and the mocking fool will be brought down.

When pride appears, disgrace accompanies it, but humility is present with wisdom.

The house of the proud the LORD will demolish, but he will protect the widow's boundary line.

Bright eyes encourage the heart; good news nourishes the body.

The LORD detests those who are proud; truly they will not go unpunished.

Pride precedes destruction; an arrogant spirit appears before a fall.

Better to be humble among the poor, than to share what is stolen with the proud.

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the pride of children is their parents.

Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but later his mouth will be full of gravel.

A proud attitude, accompanied by a haughty look, is sin; they reveal wicked people.

The names "Proud," "Arrogant," and "Mocker" fit whoever acts with presumptuous conceit.

Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders away from his home.

To show partiality isn't good, yet for a piece of bread the valiant will transgress.

A person's pride will bring about his downfall, but the humble in spirit will gain honor.
