My son, hear thy father's doctrine, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

if they entice thee, and say, "Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, and lurk privily for the innocent without a cause:

Yea, they themselves lay wait one for another's blood, and one of them would slay another.

O turn you unto my correction: lo, I will express my mind unto you, and make you understand my words.

My son, forget not my law, but see that thine heart keep my commandments.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast.

My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but keep my law and my counsel:

Yea I shall give you a good reward, if ye will not forsake my law.

My son, keep thy father's commandments, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

For the commandment is a lantern, and the law a light: yea, chastening and nurture is the way of life:

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments by thee.

Keep my commandments and my law, even as the apple of thine eye, and thou shalt live.

Come, let us lie together, and take our pleasure till it be daylight.

Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is nigh destruction.

It shall not help the wicked, though they lay all their hands together; but the seed of the righteous shall be preserved.

The talking of the ungodly is how they may lay wait for blood; but the mouth of the righteous will deliver them.

The law is a well of life unto the wise; that it may keep him from the snares of death.

A faithful witness will not dissemble; but a false record will make a lie.

That I might show thee the truth and that thou with the verity mightest answer them that lay anything against thee?

Lay no privy wait wickedly upon the house of the righteous, and disquiet not his resting place.

And lo, it was all covered with nettles, and stood full of thistles, and the stone wall was broken down.

Be not hasty to go to the law, lest thou knowest not what to do when thy neighbor hath confounded thee.

They that forsake the law, praise the ungodly; but such as keep the law, abhor them.

Whoso keepeth the law, is a child of understanding; but he that feedeth riotous men, shameth his father.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, his prayer shall be abhorred.

If a wise man go to law with a fool - whether he deal with him friendly or roughly - he getteth no rest.

Where no Prophet is, there the people perish; but well is him that keepeth the law.

If thou be so foolish to magnify thyself, or meddlest with any such thing, then lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Lest they being drunken forget the law, and regard not the cause of the poor, and of all such as be in adversity.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of grace.
