Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;

Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;

Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:

For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.

He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken spirit who can bear?

Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness; But a faithful man who can find?

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?

For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?

He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer.

For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom thine eyes have seen.

As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death,

A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?

Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?

Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.

The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.

A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.
