Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Turn away from it and pass on.

The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past.

When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Calling to those who pass by,
Who are making their paths straight:

But he does not know that the spirits of the dead are there,
And that her guests are [already] in the depths of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

Loving and favorable is the face of the righteous; but the forehead of the ungodly is past shame, and presumptuous.

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life; but the mouth of the ungodly is past shame, and presumptuous.

When the storm-wind is past, the sinner is seen no longer, but the upright man is safe for ever.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire that cometh to pass is a tree of life.

When a desire is brought to pass, it delighteth the soul; but fools count it abomination to depart from evil.

He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;
He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.

A wise man putteth off displeasure, and it is his honour to let some faults pass.

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Or he who hears it will reproach you,
And the evil report about you will not pass away.

Like an archer who wounds everyone,
So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and'suffer for it.

Give strong drink [as medicine] to him who is ready to pass away,
And wine to him whose life is bitter.
