Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

that thou lust not after her beauty in thine heart, and lest thou be taken with her fair looks.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

Nothing less than rebellion, doth a wicked man seek, and, a relentless messenger, shall be sent out against him.

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

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

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

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

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
