For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:

Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places;

For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter , And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.

Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.

The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.

When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.

Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;

Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom.

Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.

By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.

Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

A servant that dealeth wisely shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.

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

Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; For he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties:

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons'shall have poverty enough.

To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.

She is like the merchant-ships; She bringeth her bread from afar.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.
