To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;

Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;

In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.

My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:

For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.

Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.

Do not make evil designs against your neighbour, when he is living with you without fear.

He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.

Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.

Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.

Make yourself free, like the roe from the hand of the archer, and the bird from him who puts a net for her.

He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.

Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me.

Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.

A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

He who makes signs with his eyes is a cause of trouble, but he who makes a man see his errors is a cause of peace.

The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.

The righteousness of the good man will make his way straight, but the sin of the evil-doer will be the cause of his fall.

He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered.

He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.

No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved.

There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.

A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of foolish men makes clear their foolish thoughts.

Care in the heart of a man makes it weighted down, but a good word makes it glad.

He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.

A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.

A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.

The wisdom of the man of good sense makes his way clear; but the unwise behaviour of the foolish is deceit.

In all hard work there is profit, but talk only makes a man poor.

He who is hard on the poor puts shame on his Maker; but he who has mercy on those who are in need gives him honour.

A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.

A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.

Foolish behaviour is joy to the unwise; but a man of good sense makes his way straight.

The house of the man of pride will be uprooted by the Lord, but he will make safe the heritage of the widow.

The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.

When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his haters be at peace with him.

A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.

A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere: and he who says evil secretly makes trouble between friends.

A violent man puts desire of evil into his neighbour's mind, and makes him go in a way which is not good.

He whose eyes are shut is a man of twisted purposes, and he who keeps his lips shut tight makes evil come about.

Whoever makes sport of the poor puts shame on his Maker; and he who is glad because of trouble will not go free from punishment.

He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.

A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.

The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction.

A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

A foolish man's lips are a cause of fighting, and his mouth makes him open to blows.

He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.

A man's offering makes room for him, letting him come before great men.

The poor man makes requests for grace, but the man of wealth gives a rough answer.

Wealth makes a great number of friends; but the poor man is parted from his friend.

Great numbers will make attempts to get the approval of a ruler: and every man is the special friend of him who has something to give.

A man's good sense makes him slow to wrath, and the overlooking of wrongdoing is his glory.

A good-for-nothing witness makes sport of the judge's decision: and the mouth of evil-doers sends out evil like a stream.

Wine makes men foolish, and strong drink makes men come to blows; and whoever comes into error through these is not wise.

The wrath of a king is like the loud cry of a lion: he who makes him angry does wrong against himself.

Most men make no secret of their kind acts: but where is a man of good faith to be seen?

A poor thing, a poor thing, says he who is giving money for goods: but when he has gone on his way, then he makes clear his pride in what he has got.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

Every purpose is put into effect by wise help: and by wise guiding make war.

A wise king puts evil-doers to flight, and makes their evil-doing come back on them.

By the wounds of the rod evil is taken away, and blows make clean the deepest parts of the body.

The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way.

The man of wealth and the poor man come face to face: the Lord is the maker of them all.

To make you see how certain are true words, so that you may give a true answer to those who put questions to you?

Be not one of those who give their hands in an agreement, or of those who make themselves responsible for debts:

If you have nothing with which to make payment, he will take away your bed from under you.

Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat:

A wise man is strong; and a man of knowledge makes strength greater.

Put your work in order outside, and make it ready in the field; and after that, see to the building of your house.

Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart.

With his lips the hater makes things seem what they are not, but deceit is stored up inside him;

He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again.

Do not make a noise about tomorrow, for you are not certain what a day's outcome may be.

Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.

My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.

The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:

He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor.

A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.

Make no addition to his words, or he will make clear your error, and you will be seen to be false.

The eye which makes sport of a father, and sees no value in a mother when she is old will be rooted out by the ravens of the valley, and be food for the young eagles.

The conies are only a feeble people, but they make their houses in the rocks;

The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.

Who may make discovery of a woman of virtue? For her price is much higher than jewels.

She puts a band of strength round her, and makes her arms strong.

She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple.

She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price.
