An ignorant body believeth all things; but whoso hath understanding, looketh well to his goings.

The fear of the LORD is a well of life; to avoid the snares of death.

The way of the slothful is full of thorns; but the street of the righteous is well cleansed.

A fool rejoiceth in foolish things; but a wise man looketh well to his own goings.

An appropriate answer brings joy to a person, and a well-timed word is a good thing.

A man may well purpose a thing in his heart; but the answer of the tongue cometh of the LORD.

The path of the righteous escheweth evil; and whoso looketh well to his ways, keepeth his own soul.

Understanding is a well of life unto him that hath it; as for the chastening of fools, it is but foolishness.

An offering of money is like a stone of great price in the eyes of him who has it: wherever he goes, he does well.

The LORD hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemneth the innocent.

The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters; and the well of wisdom is like a full stream.

He who returns a word before he will hear, folly itself [belongs] to him as well as shame.

Where no discretion is, there the soul is not well; and whoso is swift on foot, stumbleth hastily.

A plan (motive, wise counsel) in the heart of a man is like water in a deep well,
But a man of understanding draws it out.

A king that sitteth in judgment, and looketh well about him, driveth away all evil.

The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked—
How the wicked are cast down to ruin.

For sweet shall they be, when thou shalt keep them in thine inmost mind, they shall fit well together, upon thy lips.

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, thou shall consider well, what is before thee;

For a harlot is a deep pit
And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.

"They wounded me," shalt thou say, "but it hath not hurt me. They smote me, but I felt it not. When I am well awakened, I will go to the drink again."

He that imagineth mischief, may well be called an ungracious person.

Fear the Lord, my child, as well as the king, and do not associate with rebels,

But to those [honorable judges] who rebuke the wicked, it will go well with them and they will find delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.

He maketh himself to be well loved, that giveth a good answer.

First, make up thy work that is without, and look well unto that which thou hast in the field, and then build thine house.

Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:

Like a trampled spring and a polluted well
Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

A man of experience discerneth all things well, but whoso hireth a fool, hireth such one as will take no heed.

The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane.

A brawling woman and the roof of the house dropping in a rainy day, may well be compared together.

Whoever attempts to restrain her [criticism] might as well try to stop the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand.

Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;

You will have enough goat's milk to drink and to supply your household needs, as well as sustenance for your servant girls.

The rich man thinketh himself to be wise; but the poor that hath understanding, can perceive him well enough.

When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen.

There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:

The strutting rooster, as well as the goat, and a king with his army.

Her husband is well known; he sits among the leaders of the land.

She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them.

I acquired male slaves and female slaves, as well as children [born in my] house. I also had livestock, cattle, and flocks more than anyone who [was] before me in Jerusalem.

I also amassed silver and gold for myself, as well as valuable treasures taken from kingdoms and provinces. I acquired male singers and female singers for myself, and what gives a man sensual delight -- a harem of beautiful concubines!

Next, I decided to consider wisdom, as well as foolish behavior and ideas. For what more can the king's successor do than what the king has already done?

For the wise are ever as little in remembrance as the foolish, and all the days for to come shall be forgotten, yea the wise man dieth as well as the fool.

For who could eat and who could enjoy, so well as I?

A time to put to death and a time to make well; a time for pulling down and a time for building up;

I know that there is nothing good for them but to rejoice and to do well in their life;

And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

Therefore two are better than one, for they may well enjoy the profit of their labour.

I considered all the living who walk on earth, as well as the successor who would arise in his place.

For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words: but you must fear God.

For wisdom defendeth as well as money, and the excellent knowledge and wisdom giveth life to him that have it in possession.

In the day of prosperity be happy,
But in the day of adversity consider—
God has made the one as well as the other
So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.

It is well that thou shouldst lay fast hold of this, but, even from the other, do not withdraw thy hand, - for, he that revereth God, shall come forth out of them all.

Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and his life is long, I am certain that it will be well for those who go in fear of God and are in fear before him.

But it will not be well for the evil-doer; he will not make his days long like a shade, because he has no fear before God.

So I reflected on all this, attempting to clear it all up. I concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their works, are in the hand of God; whether a person will be loved or hated -- no one knows what lies ahead.

As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.

Go thy way - eat, with gladness, thy food, and drink, with a happy heart, thy wine, - when already God is well pleased with thy works.

I again saw under the sun, that not, to the swift, was the race, nor, to the strong, the battle, nay! nor, to the wise, food, nor yet, to the intelligent, riches, nor, even to the well-informed, comeliness, - for, time and accident, happened to them all.

If the iron has no edge, and he does not make it sharp, then he has to put out more strength; but wisdom makes things go well.

But well is thee, O thou realm and land, whose king is come of nobles, and whose princes eat in due season, for strength and not for lust.

In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or that--or if the two will be equally good.

Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed;

The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails well fastened are the words of the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

I am black, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, like as the tents of the Kedarenes, and as the hangings of Solomon: but yet am I fair and well favored withal.

As a bag of myrrh is my well-loved one to me, when he is at rest all night between my breasts.

O how fair art thou, my beloved, how well favored art thou? Our bed is decked with flowers,

All of them are skilled with a sword, well-trained in the art of warfare. Each has his sword at his side, to guard against the terrors of the night.

Thou art a well kept garden, O my sister, my spouse, thou are a well kept watering spring, and a sealed well.

A garden fountain, a well of living waters, - and flowings from Lebanon.

The mandrakes give off a fragrance,
and at our doors is every delicacy—
new as well as old.
I have treasured them up for you, my love.

(The Shulammite Bride)
“I was a wall, and my breasts were like the towers.
Then I became in the king’s eyes
As one [to be respected and allowed] to find peace.

"How do your voluminous sacrifices benefit me?" the LORD is asking. "I've had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts. I don't enjoy the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats.

Thus saith the LORD God: Wash and be clean; put away the wickedness of your imaginations out of my sight. Cease to do evil and learn to do well.

Learn to do well - Seek justice, Correct the oppressor, - Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow,

Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him ; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.

By day it will be a shelter to provide shade from the heat, as well as safety and protection from the heavy downpour.

Let me sing, I pray you, for a well-beloved of mine, The song of my beloved concerning his vineyard: - A vineyard, had my well-beloved on a very fruitful hill;

Well, now I shall tell you how I will do with my vineyard: I will take the hedge from it, that it may perish, and break down the wall, that it may be trodden under foot.

They have the lyre and harp, the tambourine and flute, as well as wine at their festivals, but they don't respect what the LORD is doing, nor do they consider his actions.

Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.

Then he said, “Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?

In that day will the Lord take away the hair of the head and of the feet, as well as the hair of the face, with a blade got for a price from the other side of the River; even with the king of Assyria.

Even like as in time past it hath been well seen, that the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, wherethrough the sea way goeth over Jordan in to the land of Galilee, was at the first in little trouble, but afterward sore vexed.

Therefore the Lord God of Hosts
will inflict an emaciating disease
on the well-fed of Assyria,
and He will kindle a burning fire
under its glory.

Praise in song Yahweh, For a splendid thing, hath he done, - Well known, is this in all the earth.

Your splendor has been brought down to Sheol, as well as the sound of your stringed instruments. You lie on a bed of maggots, with a blanket of worms over you.

Then the firstborn of the poor will be well fed,
and the impoverished will lie down in safety,
but I will kill your root with hunger,
and your remnant will be slain.

For the cry surrounded the bound of Moab, its wailing even to Eglaim, and its wailing to the well of Elim.

We have heard of the pride of Moab: it is well known. He is very proud, presumptuous, arrogant, and full of indignation, and vain are his lies.

For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.

The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools; Pharaoh's wise advisers give stupid advice. How dare you say to Pharaoh, "I am one of the sages, one well-versed in the writings of the ancient kings?"
