All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.

For a fool living in luxury is not fitting, [any] more [than it is] for a slave to rule over princes.

A man in a rage, taketh away the penalty, - nevertheless, if thou let him go free, the more stripes must thou add.

My son, heareth no more the doctrine that leadeth thee away from the words of understanding.

A mouth of understanding is more worth than gold, many precious stones, and costly Jewels.

To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

When the scornful is punished, the ignorant take the better heed; and when a wise man is warned, he will receive the more understanding.

The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind?

A good name is more to be desired than great wealth, and to be respected is better than silver and gold.

He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself
Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

saying, They struck me; I was not sick; they beat me, but I did not know it. When I awaken, I will add more. I will seek it again.

These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.

These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

The slothful one is wise in his eyes more than seven turning back a reason.

A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but vexation by a fool is more burdensome than the two of them.

Oil and perfume, rejoice the heart, the sweetness of one's friend, more than fragrant wood.

Thy friend and thy father's friend thou shalt not forsake; and thou shalt not go to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: good he dwelling near, more than a brother far off.

He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.

The seat of the king that faithfully judgeth the poor, shall continue sure for ever more.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;

Let him drink, and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more.

Who can find a capable wife?
She is far more precious than jewels.

Everything is wearisome, more than man is able to express. The eye is never satisfied by seeing, nor the ear by hearing.

The thing that is past, is out of remembrance; Even so the things that are for to come, shall no more be thought upon among them that come after.

I communed with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have come to greatness, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

For where much wisdom is, there is also great travail and disquietness; and the more knowledge a man hath, the more is his care.

I got myself male and female servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle more than all that were in Jerusalem before me:

So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

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?

I concluded that wisdom is more useful than foolishness, just as light is more useful than darkness.

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.

For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how does the wise man die? as the fool.

There was nothing more blessed for Man than that he should eat and drink, and see his desireth for blessedness in his toil, - even this, saw, I myself, that, from the hand of God, it was.

For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

And I saw that no good more than that man shall rejoice in his works; for this is his portion: for who shall bring him to look upon what shall be after him?

Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;

and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Then I considered all the skillful work that is done: Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another. This also is profitless -- like chasing the wind.

There is one man, no more but himself alone, having neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of his careful travail, his eyes cannot be satisfied with riches. Yet, doth he not remember himself, and say, "For whom do I take such travail? For whose pleasure do I thus consume away my life?" This is also a vain and miserable thing.

Two people are better than one, because they can reap more benefit from their labor.

Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

In spite of many daydreams, pointless actions, and empty words, it is more important to fear God.

Whereas many riches are, there are many also that spend them away. And what pleasure more hath he that possesseth them, saving that he may look upon them with his eyes?

What is more, he eats in darkness all his days, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.

Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this one has more rest than the other.

All of man's labor is for nothing more than to fill his stomach -- yet his appetite is never satisfied!

For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?

{Better to be content with what your eyes see than for your soul to constantly crave more}. This also [is] vanity and chasing wind!

Whatever is--it was already determined, {what will be--it has already been decided}. As for man, he cannot argue against what is more powerful than him.

The more one argues with words, the less he accomplishes. How does that benefit him?

A good name is more worth than a precious ointment, and the day of death is better than the day of birth.

The conclusion of something is better than its beginning, and a patient attitude is more valuable than a proud one.

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.

Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

and I saw all the work of God, I concluded that man cannot discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though man may labor in seeking, he will not discover; and [more than that], though a wise man thinks and claims he knows, he will not be able to find it out.

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

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.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that rules among fools.

Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer give out an evil smell; more valued is a little wisdom than the great glory of the foolish.

If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

And more than that, the preacher was wise; he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he listened, and looked, and set in order many proverbs.

W Oh, that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is more delightful than wine.

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 make mention of thy love more than of wine: Rightly do they love thee.

How beautiful are thy caresses, my sister, bride, - how much more delightful thy caresses, than wine, and the fragrance of thine oils, than all spices:

What is thy beloved more than another beloved, Thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thou dost so charge us?

Turn again, turn again, O thou Shulamite; turn again, turn again, that we may look upon thee. What pleasure have ye more in the Shulamite, than when she danceth among the men of war?

Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!

Which used to strike the peoples in anger with incessant blows,
Which subdued and ruled the nations in wrath with unrelenting persecution.

Yea even the fir trees and Cedars of Lebanon rejoice at thy fall, saying, 'Now that thou art laid down, there come no more up to destroy us.'

For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon them of Moab that escape, and upon the remnant of the land.

Let my outcasts [of] Moab dwell as aliens among you; be a hiding place for them from [the] presence of [the] destroyer." When the oppressor is no more, destruction has stopped, [the] {one who tramples has} disappeared from the land,

This is the heavy burden upon Damascus: Behold, Damascus shall be no more a city, but a heap of broken stones.

The cities of Oraru will be deserted they will be devoted to herds that will lay at rest, and terrorism will be no more.
