The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree, --

If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, so that I laid wait at my neighbour's door,

Because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door, ...

Wilt thou draw out the leviathan with the hook, and press down his tongue with a cord?

And he is as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.

Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her; and happy is he that retaineth her.

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and the wise winneth souls.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire that cometh to pass is a tree of life.

A true witness delivereth souls; but deceit uttereth lies.

The evil-doer giveth heed to iniquitous lips; the liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.

The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

As the door turneth upon its hinges, so the sluggard upon his bed.

Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that guardeth his master shall be honoured.

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

Draw me, we will run after thee! The king hath brought me into his chambers We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine. They love thee uprightly.

As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons: In his shadow have I rapture and sit down; And his fruit is sweet to my taste.

The fig-tree melloweth her winter figs, And the vines in bloom give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away!

Thy neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armoury: A thousand bucklers hang thereon, All shields of mighty men.

My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door; And my bowels yearned for him.

Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; Thine eyes, like the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like the tower of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus;

This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to grape clusters.

I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples,

Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awoke thee under the apple-tree: There thy mother brought thee forth; There she brought thee forth that bore thee.
