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

When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasing to your soul;

and they shall be life to your soul and grace to your neck;

These six Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul:

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

Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does it destroys his own soul.

until a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and does not know that it is for his soul.

But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all who hate me love death.

Jehovah will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry; but He casts away the desire of the wicked.

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

The soul who gives freely shall be made fat; and he who waters shall also be watered himself.

A righteous one understands the soul of his animal; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

From the fruit of his mouth a man shall eat good, but the soul of the treacherous eats violence.

The soul of the sluggard desires and has nothing; but the soul of the hard worker shall be made fat.

The desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but it is hateful to fools to turn from evil.

The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked shall lack.

He who is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he who is hasty of spirit exalts folly.

A wrathful man stirs up fighting, but one slow to anger calms fighting.

He who refuses instruction despises his own soul, but he who hears reproof gets understanding.

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

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

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

Also without knowledge the soul is not good, and he who hurries with his feet sins.

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding shall find good.

Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He who keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; he who despises His ways shall die.

Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your soul on making him die.

The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever stirs him up to anger sins against his own soul.

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

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

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; he who keeps his soul shall be far from them.

for Jehovah will plead their cause, and strip the soul of those who plunder 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 hell.

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

If you say, Behold, we did not know; does not He who searches the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He know? And He repays to a man according to his works.

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

Like cold snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to his senders; for he makes return to his master's soul.

In being slow to anger a ruler is won over, and a soft tongue breaks the bone.

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

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause shall not come.

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

A man who is pressed down with the blood of a soul shall flee to the pit; do not let them uphold him.

Men of blood hate the upright; but the just seek his soul.

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

He who shares with a thief hates his own soul; he hears an oath and does not tell.
