For her house sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the dead;

Her feet go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.

Her house is the way to Sheol,
Descending to the chambers of death.

“But he who sins against me injures himself;
All those who hate me love death.”

Ill-gotten gains do not profit,
But righteousness delivers from death.

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death.

He who is steadfast in righteousness will attain to life,
And he who pursues evil will bring about his own death.

In the way of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn aside from the snares of death.

There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
That one may avoid the snares of death.

The fury of a king is like messengers of death,
But a wise man will appease it.

There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Discipline your son while there is hope,
And do not desire his death.

The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.

The desire of the sluggard puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work;

Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.

Like a madman who throws
Firebrands, arrows and death,

A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood
Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.
