He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him.

She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.

Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers:

Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;

But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.

For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her.

Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

Wealth which comes from sin is of no profit, but righteousness gives salvation from death.

Knowledge is stored up by the wise, but the mouth of the foolish man is a destruction which is near.

In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

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

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, by which one may be turned from the nets of death.

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.

A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith.

If you have nothing with which to make payment, he will take away your bed from under you.

Let not the old landmark be moved which your fathers have put in place.

The food which you have taken will come up again, and your pleasing words will be wasted.

Get for yourself that which is true, and do not let it go for money; get wisdom and teaching and good sense.

My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:

He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.

Like a thorn which goes up into the hand of a man overcome by drink, so is a wise saying in the mouth of a foolish man.

Like a dog going back to the food which he has not been able to keep down, is the foolish man doing his foolish acts over again.

He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.

The night-spirit has two daughters, Give, give. There are three things which are never full, even four which never say, Enough:

The underworld, and the woman without a child; the earth which never has enough water, and the fire which never says, Enough.

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.

There are three things, the wonder of which overcomes me, even four things outside my knowledge:

For three things the earth is moved, and there are four which it will not put up with:

There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are very wise:

The lion, which is strongest among beasts, not turning from his way for any;

The words of Lemuel, king of Massa: the teaching which he had from his mother.

Do not give your strength to women, or your ways to that which is the destruction of kings.
