I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;

when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.

Do not be afraid of sudden fear, or of the storm of the wicked when it comes:

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you," when you have it by you.

Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.

When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.

You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.

Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:

When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.

When he established the heavens, I was there; when he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,

when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth;

When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.

When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.

When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.

"It's no good, it's no good," says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind.

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

When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;

yes, my heart will rejoice, when your lips speak what is right.

Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

Do not look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

"They hit me, and I was not hurt. They beat me, and I do not feel it. When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another."

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Do not let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;

Do not be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

When his speech is charming, do not believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman.

The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

When the wicked increase, sin increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.

For a servant when he is king; a fool when he is filled with food;

for an unloved woman when she is married; and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.

Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
