To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:

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

We will find and take all kinds of precious possessions,
We will fill our houses with spoil;

My son, do not walk in the way with them.
Keep your feet from their path,

So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence;
It takes away the life of its possessors.

“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.

Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity -- every good way.

To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;

From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;

Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;

For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:

All they that go in unto her, come not again, neither take they hold of the way of life.

So you will walk in the way of good men
And keep to the paths of the righteous.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Her ways are pleasant ways
And all her paths are peace.

Then you will walk in your way securely
And your foot will not stumble.

For, Yahweh, will be in all thy ways, and will keep thy foot from the snare.

Say not unto thy neighbour, "Go thy way and come again, tomorrow will I give thee"

Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his ways.

I have directed you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths.

When you go, your way will not be narrow, and in running you will not have a fall.

Do not enter the path of the wicked
And do not proceed in the way of evil men.

Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.

But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.

The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.

Watch the path of your feet
And all your ways will be established.

She does not ponder the path of life;
Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.

Keep your way far from her
And do not go near the door of her house,

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

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He watches all his paths.

He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way.

Therefore my son, do this: and thou shalt be discharged, when thou art come into thy neighbour's danger. Go thy ways then soon, and entreat thy neighbour:

Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,

so shall poverty come unto thee as one that travaileth by the way, and necessity like a weaponed man.

A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

Passing through the street near her corner;
And he takes the way to her house,

Look! A woman makes her way to meet him, dressed as a prostitute and intending to entrap him.

One time without, one time in the broad ways; and she will lie in wait near every corner.

For the man not in the house, he went in a way far off.

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths.

Her house is the way to Sheol,
Descending to the chambers of death.

On top of the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverted mouth, I hate.

“I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,

“The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.

“Now therefore, O sons, listen to me,
For blessed are they who keep my ways.

"O come on your way, eat my bread, and drink my wine, which I have poured out for you.

“Forsake your folly and live,
And proceed in the way of understanding.”

Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says:

He who walks in integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will be found out.

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

The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the upright,
But ruin to the workers of iniquity.

The righteousness of the upright will be their guide, but the twisted ways of the false will be their destruction.

The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,
But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight

A man will be commended according to his insight and sound judgment,
But the one who is of a perverse mind will be despised.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray.

In the way of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.

Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless,
But wickedness subverts the sinner.

The ransom for a man’s life is his wealth,
But the poor man does not even have to listen to a rebuke or threats [from the envious].

Good understanding produces favor,
But the way of the treacherous is hard.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for [the hands of] the righteous.

He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.

The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But the foolishness of fools is deceit.

There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

The backslider in heart will have his fill of his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied with his.

A simple man believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.

An impatient man handleth foolishly; but he that is well advised, doth other ways.

Do they not go astray who devise evil and wander from the way of righteousness?
But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But He loves one who pursues righteousness.

Grievous punishment is for him who forsakes the way;
He who hates reproof will die.

The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.

Foolish behaviour is joy to the unwise; but a man of good sense makes his way straight.

Acting wisely is the way of life, guiding a man away from the underworld.

All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight,
But the Lord weighs the motives.

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

The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who watches his way preserves his life.

There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.

A violent man puts desire of evil into his neighbour's mind, and makes him go in a way which is not good.

The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

A wicked man receives a bribe from the bosom
To pervert the ways of justice.

A man seeketh, for satisfaction, going his own way, through all safe counsel, he breaketh.

Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are twisted.

Further, without knowledge desire is not good; and he who is over-quick in acting goes out of the right way.

By his foolish behaviour a man's ways are turned upside down, and his heart is bitter against the Lord.

Whoso keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul; but he that regardeth not his way, shall die.

The fear of the Lord gives life: and he who has it will have need of nothing; no evil will come his way.

A poor thing, a poor thing, says he who is giving money for goods: but when he has gone on his way, then he makes clear his pride in what he has got.

A man's steps are of the Lord; how then may a man have knowledge of his way?

The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;
He turns it whichever way He wishes.

Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts.

Twisted is the way of him who is full of crime; but as for him whose heart is clean, his work is upright.

The wanderer from the way of knowledge will have his resting-place among the shades.

The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way.

Thorns and nets are in the way of the twisted: he who keeps watch over his soul will be far from them.
