Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity],
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

For before the eyes of Yahweh [are] {human ways}, and all his paths he examines.

So shall come in, as a highwayman, thy poverty, and, thy want, as one armed with a shield.

I was rejoicing in His inhabited world,
delighting in the human race.

The fruit of the [consistently] righteous is a tree of life,
And he who is wise captures and wins souls [for God—he gathers them for eternity].

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord—
how much more, human hearts.

Human beings long for grace, and it's better to be poor than a man of deceit.

The spirit (conscience) of man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being.

There is no [human] wisdom or understanding
Or counsel [that can prevail] against the Lord.

Do not weary yourself [with the overwhelming desire] to gain wealth;
Cease from your own understanding of it.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satiated, and neither are human eyes.

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

Fearing any human being is a trap, but confiding in the LORD keeps anyone safe.

Surely I am beyond the senselessness of any man; I do not perceive things the way human beings do.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords and whose molars are like knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among the human race.
