My son, walk not in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:

But whosoever hearkens unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be secure from the fear of evil.

To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks perverse things;

To deliver you from the immoral woman, even from the seductress who flatters with her words;

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

For the gain from it is better than the gain from silver, and the profit thereof than fine gold.

My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the ruin from the wicked, when it comes.

For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being snared.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither turn away from the words of my mouth.

Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.

Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and perverse lips put far from you.

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.

Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:

Deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a seductress.

That they may keep you from the immoral woman, from the seductress who flatters with her words.

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and from the opening of my lips shall come right things.

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

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivers from death.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall escape from trouble.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you perceive not in him the lips of knowledge.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from above himself.

A wise man fears, and departs from evil: but the fool rages, and is confident.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.

The way of life leads above to the wise, that he may depart from sheol beneath.

The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.

Whosoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.

House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes to stray from the words of knowledge.

It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that does keep his soul shall be far from them.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

If you have nothing to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?

Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom.

Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with a rod, he shall not die.

You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from sheol.

Lest the LORD sees it, and it displeases him, and he turns away his wrath from him.

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the refiner.

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

Withdraw your foot from your neighbor's house; lest he be weary of you, and so hate you.

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

As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man that wanders from his place.

Though you should crush a fool in a mortar among grain with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

He that carefully brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son in the end.

Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment comes from the LORD.

Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food needful for me:

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.

There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away from any;

She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar.
