For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, - and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them.

When wisdom entereth thy heart, and, knowledge, to thy soul, is sweet,

So shall they become life to thy soul, and an adorning to thy neck;

These six things, doth Yahweh hate, yea, seven, are the abomination of his soul: -

Because, for the sake of an impure woman, a man may be brought even to a cake of bread, - and, a man's wife, for a precious soul, may hunt!

But, he that misseth me, wrongeth his own soul, all who hate me, love death.

Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.

The man of lovingkindness, dealeth well with his own soul, but the cruel man, troubleth his own flesh.

The liberal soul, shall he enriched, and, he that refresheth, shall himself also be refreshed.

Of the fruit of his mouth, shall a man eat what is good, but, the soul of the treacherous, shall be sated with violence.

He that watcheth his mouth, guardeth his soul, He that openeth wide his lips, it shall be his ruin.

The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.

A desire fulfilled, is sweet to the soul, but it is, an abomination to the lawless, to depart from evil.

One slow to anger, hath great understanding, but, the hasty in spirit, exalteth folly.

A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.

He that declineth correction, despiseth his own soul, but, he that heareth reproof, gaineth sense.

The highway of the upright, is to avoid evil, He preserveth his soul, who guardeth his way.

Better he that is slow to anger, than a hero, and he that ruleth his spirit, than he that captureth a city.

The mouth of a dullard, is his ruin, and, his lips, are a snare to his soul.

Surely, for the soul to be, without knowledge, is not good, and, he that hasteth with his feet, strayeth.

He that acquireth sense, loveth his own soul, he that guardeth understanding, shall find blessing.

Sloth, falleth into a deep sleep, and, a soul that is indolent, shall famish.

Correct thy son, because there is hope, yet, not so as to slay him, let thy passion be excited.

The soul of the lawless man, craveth mischief, his own friend, findeth no favour in his eyes.

He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth, out of distresses, his soul.

Thorns and snares, are in the way of the perverse, - he that guardeth his soul, shall be far from them.

Lest thou learn his ways, and take a snare to thy soul.

Thou, with the rod, shalt smite him, and, his soul from hades, shalt thou deliver.

Truth, buy thou, but do not sell, wisdom, and correction, and understanding.

Though thou say, Lo! we knew not this, Shall not, he that proveth hearts, himself, discern? And, he that formeth thy soul, himself, know? and bring back to a son of earth according to his deed?

Thus, take knowledge of wisdom, for thine own soul; If thou find it, then there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.

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

As a sparrow in wandering, as a swallow in flying, so, a causeless curse, shall not alight.

The surfeited soul, trampleth upon droppings from the comb, but, to the hungry soul, every bitter thing, is sweet.

The ambitious in soul, stirreth up strife, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be enriched.

Correct thy son, that he may give thee rest, that he may give delight to thy soul.

Give strong drink, to him that is perishing, and wine, to such as are embittered in soul:
