who leaves the husband from her younger days, and forgets her marriage covenant made before God.

Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:

For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only one before my mother.

The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding.

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

before the entire community.”

Beside gates, before towns, [at the] entrance of doors, she cries out:

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

before He made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

He who goes on his way in righteousness has before him the fear of the Lord; but he whose ways are twisted gives him no honour.

Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.

There is a way -- right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.

An unthinking person believes everything, but the prudent one thinks before acting.

The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

The mind of the righteous person thinks before answering,
but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things.

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

There is a way right before a man, And its latter end -- ways of death.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

The man who first puts his cause before the judge seems to be in the right; but then his neighbour comes and puts his cause in its true light.

Many will seek favor before the generous, and everyone [is] the friend of a man of gifts.

Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.

For better that he hath said to thee, 'Come thou up hither,' Than that he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.

Do not rush out to argue your case [before magistrates or judges];
Otherwise what will you do in the end [when your case is lost and]
When your neighbor (opponent) humiliates you?

A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

Do not slander or malign a servant before his master [stay out of another’s personal life],
Or he will curse you [for your interference], and you will be found guilty.

The lion, which is mighty among beasts
And does not turn back before any;

She considers a field before she buys or accepts it [expanding her business prudently];
With her profits she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.
