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

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth 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 thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

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

For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

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

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

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

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

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

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

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

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

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

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

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 thou perceivest 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 himself.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

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

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

The preparations of the heart in man, and 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 keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

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

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

It is an honour 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?

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth 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 thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

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

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

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

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

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

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

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

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

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

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is 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.

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