For the Lord will be your confidence, firm and strong,
And will keep your foot from being caught [in a trap].

The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord.

The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];
They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].

He who robs his father or his mother
And says, “This is no sin,”
Is [not only a thief but also] the companion of a man who destroys.
