Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol,
still healthy as they go down to the Pit.

None return who go to her;
none reach the paths of life.

Then you will go safely on your way;
your foot will not stumble.

Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later.
I’ll give it tomorrow”—when it is there with you.

Hold on to instruction; don’t let go.
Guard it, for it is your life.

Her feet go down to death;
her steps head straight for Sheol.

Keep your way far from her.
Don’t go near the door of her house.

Do this, then, my son, and free yourself,
for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power:
Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.

Go to the ant, you slacker!
Observe its ways and become wise.

So it is with the one who sleeps with
another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.

calling to those who pass by,
who go straight ahead on their paths:

The Lord will not let the righteous go hungry,
but He denies the wicked what they crave.

Be assured that the wicked
will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

Don’t those who plan evil go astray?
But those who plan good find loyalty and faithfulness.

Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.

The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker,
and one who rejoices over calamity
will not go unpunished.

A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies will not escape.

A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies perishes.

Laziness induces deep sleep,
and a lazy person will go hungry.

Whoever curses his father or mother—
his lamp will go out in deep darkness.

Teach a youth about the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Those who linger over wine,
those who go looking for mixed wine.

but it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and a generous blessing will come to them.

Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
and don’t go to your brother’s house
in your time of calamity;
better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

A faithful man will have many blessings,
but one in a hurry to get rich
will not go unpunished.
