Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life.

Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;

His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.

Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for foreigners.

If thou hast not wherewith to pay, Why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Take away the dross from the silver, And there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner:

Take away the wicked from before the king, And his throne shall be established in righteousness.

As a dog that returneth to his vomit,'so is a fool that repeateth his folly.

He that passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for a foreign woman.

Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
