Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;

For whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

“My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold,
And my yield better than choicest silver.

A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.

Even in laughter the heart may be in pain,
And the end of joy may be grief.

The poor is hated even by his neighbor,
But those who love the rich are many.

The Lord has made everything for its own purpose,
Even the wicked for the day of evil.

When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out,
Even strife and dishonor will cease.

So that your trust may be in the Lord,
I have taught you today, even you.

He who turns away his ear from listening to the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.

There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
