and then say, "Alas, why hated I nurture? Why did my heart despise correction?

For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress
And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

That is why I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I found you!

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?

As a result, your trust will be in the LORD, that's why I'm teaching you today, even you.

If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take your bed from under you?

Why wilt thou set thine eye upon the thing, which suddenly vanisheth away? For riches make themselves wings, and take their flight like an Eagle into the air.

And why? The wicked hath nothing to hope for, and the candle of the ungodly shall be put out.

To have respect of persons in judgment is not good: And why? He will do wrong; yea, even for a piece of bread.
