Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;

So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.

Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

But whosoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.

But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casts away the desire of the wicked.

The merciful man does good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.

The liberal soul shall be made rich: and he that waters shall be watered also himself.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors feeds on violence.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall go hungry.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalts folly.

A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to anger quiets strife.

He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.

Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hastens with his feet sins.

He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall die.

Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.

The soul of the wicked desires evil: his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that does keep his soul shall be far from them.

For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

Lest you learn his ways, and get a snare to your soul.

You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from sheol.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that weighs the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your hope shall not be cut off.

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

As cold water is to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause shall not alight.

The full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.

Whosoever is partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears cursing, and reveals it not.
