Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning.
Let’s feast on each other’s love!

All a man's ways are clean to himself; but the Lord puts men's spirits into his scales.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.

For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.

Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment cometh from Jehovah.

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
and don’t reject your mother’s teaching,

If they say—“Come with us!
Let’s set an ambush and kill someone.
Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!

For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes,
and He considers all his paths.

My son, keep your father’s command,
and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.

A large population is a king’s splendor,
but a shortage of people is a ruler’s devastation.

A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.

A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.

A foolish son is his father’s ruin,
and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.

Many plans are in a man’s heart,
but the Lord’s decree will prevail.

“It’s worthless, it’s worthless!” the buyer says,
but after he is on his way, he gloats.

A king’s heart is like streams of water in the Lord’s hand:
He directs it wherever He chooses.

A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.
