My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:

For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.

Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thy foot shall not stumble.

For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.

Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established.

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.

Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;

Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;

A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?

He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,

She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house:

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.

He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Much food is in the tillage of the poor; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.

Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going.

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat.

A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food.

I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbor's house, Lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool Cutteth off his own feet, and drinketh in damage.

And there will be goats milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, And maintenance for thy maidens.

A needy man that oppresseth the poor Is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:

For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;

The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer;

She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, And their task to her maidens.
