Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

When wisdom entereth into thy heart, and knowledge is pleasant to thy soul;

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful embassador is health.

A violent man enticeth his neighbor, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

The lot is cast into the lap: but the whole disposing of it is from the LORD.

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool.

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Whoever diggeth a pit shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.

Whoever causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

Happy is the man that feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

Who hath ascended into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
