Like Sheol, we will swallow them alive and whole, {like those who descend to the pit}.

for wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul.

They shall be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.

There are six [things] Yahweh hates, and seven [things are] abominations of his soul:

The soul of the lazy craves, but there is nothing, but the person of diligence is richly supplied.

A desire {fulfilled} will be sweet to the soul, but an abomination of fools is turning from evil.

The heart knows the bitterness of its soul, but in its joy, it will not share itself with a stranger.

[He who is] slow to anger [has] great understanding, but the hasty of spirit exalts folly.

A man who is hot-tempered will stir up strife, but he who is slow [to] {anger}, he will calm contention.

Pleasant sayings [are] a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.

He who is slow to anger [is] better than him who is mighty, and he who controls his spirit than him who captures a city.

The mouth of a fool [is] ruin to him, and his lips [are] a snare to his soul.

The understanding of a person makes him slow to his {anger}, and his glory overlooks offense.

The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor will not find mercy in his eyes.

Buy truth and do not sell [it], wisdom and instruction and understanding.

if you say, "Look, we do not know this," does not he who weighs hearts perceive [it]? And he who keeps your soul, he knows and will repay humankind according to his deeds.

Thus know wisdom for [the sake of] your soul, if you find [it], then there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Like the cold of snow on a day of harvest [is] a faithful messenger to those who send him, and the soul of his master is refreshed.

[Like] cold water upon a weary soul, [so too is] good news from a distant place.

Like the sparrow [is] to fluttering and like the swallow [is] to flying, so an undeserved curse does not go forth.

Discipline your children, and they will give you rest, and they will give delight to your soul.
