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

Lest thou give thy honor to others, and thy years to the cruel:

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

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

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

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 thy 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 neighbor hath put thee to shame.

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

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

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor'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 him.

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

Add thou not to 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 to 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.
