My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:

For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.

Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.

But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.

My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him.

Who take pleasure in wrongdoing, and have joy in the evil designs of the sinner;

To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;

She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.

When you take your rest you will have no fear, and on your bed sleep will be sweet to you.

For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.

Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.

Have no envy of the violent man, or take any of his ways as an example.

Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life.

For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.

Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?

The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin.

You are taken as in a net by the words of your mouth, the sayings of your lips have overcome you.

Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.

May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing?

Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it:

But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.

He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.

He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.

Come, let us take our pleasure in love till the morning, having joy in love's delights.

He has taken a bag of money with him; he is coming back at the full moon.

At the top of the highways, at the meeting of the roads, she takes her place;

Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.

Take my teaching, and not silver; get knowledge in place of the best gold.

Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.

Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.

He who in summer gets together his store is a son who does wisely; but he who takes his rest when the grain is being cut is a son causing shame.

He who takes note of teaching is a way of life, but he who gives up training is a cause of error.

It is sport to the foolish man to do evil, but the man of good sense takes delight in wisdom.

The righteousness of the upright will be their salvation, but the false will themselves be taken in their evil designs.

The upright man is taken out of trouble, and in his place comes the sinner.

With his mouth the evil man sends destruction on his neighbour; but through knowledge the upright are taken out of trouble.

The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, but violent behaviour takes away souls.

In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.

There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.

By mercy and good faith evil-doing is taken away: and by the fear of the Lord men are turned away from evil.

The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.

Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.

He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.

It is better to come face to face with a bear whose young ones have been taken away than with a foolish man acting foolishly.

A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.

Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.

He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.

A man of great wrath will have to take his punishment: for if you get him out of trouble you will have to do it again.

Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

By the wounds of the rod evil is taken away, and blows make clean the deepest parts of the body.

The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.

Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods.

If you have nothing with which to make payment, he will take away your bed from under you.

Have you seen a man who is expert in his business? he will take his place before kings; his place will not be among low persons.

When you take your seat at the feast with a ruler, give thought with care to what is before you;

Take no care to get wealth; let there be an end to your desire for money

Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven.

Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat:

For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you.

The food which you have taken will come up again, and your pleasing words will be wasted.

For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you.

For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.

Yes, you will be like him who takes his rest on the sea, or on the top of a sail-support.

My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:

Take away the waste from silver, and a vessel will come out for the silver-worker.

Take away evil-doers from before the king, and the seat of his power will be made strong in righteousness.

Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:

As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given.

If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down.

Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart.

It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.

He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.

The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;

He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.

When evil-doers are lifted up, men take cover; but when destruction overtakes them, the upright are increased.

A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing.

Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?

This is the way of a false wife; she takes food, and, cleaning her mouth, says, I have done no wrong.

A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.

You may take the lizard in your hands, but it is in kings' houses.

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to take wine, or for rulers to say, Where is strong drink?

She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel.

Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land.

She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price.

She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.
