let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit;

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.

When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,

so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy neck.

for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a loaf of bread, and another's wife doth hunt for the precious soul.

They do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry:

Whoso committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Jehovah suffereth not the soul of the righteous man to famish; but he repelleth the craving of the wicked.

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but the cruel troubleth his own flesh.

The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; but the soul of the treacherous, violence.

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips.

A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil.

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; but the belly of the wicked shall want.

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

A furious man stirreth up contention; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul; but he that heareth reproof getteth sense.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul.

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

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

A fool's mouth is destruction to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

He that getteth sense loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.

The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: he that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.

for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.

lest thou learn his paths, and get a snare to thy soul.

For as he thinketh in his soul, so is he. Eat and drink! will he say unto thee; but his heart is not with thee.

thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

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

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not, will not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that preserveth thy soul, he knoweth it; and he rendereth to man according to his work.

so consider wisdom for thy soul; if thou hast found it, there shall be a result, and thine expectation 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 refresheth the soul of his masters.

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

As the sparrow for flitting about, as the swallow for flying, so a curse undeserved shall not come.

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

He that is puffed up in soul exciteth contention; but he that relieth upon Jehovah shall be made fat.

The bloodthirsty hate the perfect, but the upright care for his soul.

Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest, and shall give delight unto thy soul.

Whoso shareth with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration, and declareth not.

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter of soul:
