When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.

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

Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Say not to your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you at the time.

Do not make evil designs against your neighbour, when he is living with you without fear.

Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

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

And you will be full of grief at the end of your life, when your flesh and your body are wasted;

How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?

In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you.

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

When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.

When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world.

When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:

When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:

When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:

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.

When the storm-wind is past, the sinner is seen no longer, but the upright man is safe for ever.

When pride comes, there comes shame, but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.

When things go well for the upright man, all the town is glad; at the death of sinners, there are cries of joy.

When there is no helping suggestion the people will have a fall, but with a number of wise guides they will be safe.

Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.

When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his haters be at peace with him.

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

When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame.

The spirit of a man will be his support when he is ill; but how may a broken spirit be lifted up?

When blows overtake the man of pride, the simple will get sense; say sharp words to the wise, and knowledge will be made clear to him.

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.

When the man of pride undergoes punishment, the simple man gets wisdom; and by watching the wise he gets knowledge.

The offering of evil-doers is disgusting: how much more when they give it with an evil purpose!

If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.

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:

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

And my thoughts in me will be full of joy when your lips say right things.

Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.

Keep your eyes from looking on the wine when it is red, when its colour is bright in the cup, when it goes smoothly down:

They have overcome me, you will say, and I have no pain; they gave me blows without my feeling them: when will I be awake from my wine? I will go after it again.

These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.

Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame?

Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish.

When he says fair words, have no belief in him; for in his heart are seven evils:

The evil man goes running away when no man is after him, but the upright are without fear, like the lion.

When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen.

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

When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people.

When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall.

The eye which makes sport of a father, and sees no value in a mother when she is old will be rooted out by the ravens of the valley, and be food for the young eagles.

A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;

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

The war-horse, and the he-goat, and the king when his army is with him.

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