My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

We will find and take all kinds of precious possessions,
We will fill our houses with spoil;

Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:

For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.

Thus are the ways of all who are greedy [for] gain-- it will take the life of its possessors.

How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?

If you respond to my warning,
then I will pour out my spirit on you
and teach you my words.

But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.

My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

If thou wilt seek her as silver, and dig for her as hidden treasure;

Who take pleasure in wrongdoing, and have joy in the evil designs of the sinner;

To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

She is a tree of life for those who seize her; those who take hold of her are considered happy.

When you take your rest you will have no fear, and on your bed sleep will be sweet to you.

Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
Who lives securely beside you.

Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.

Have no envy of the violent man, or take any of his ways as an example.

Hear, O ye children, the fatherly exhortation, and take good heed, that ye may learn wisdom.

Listen, my child, take my sayings, and [the] years of your life shall be great.

I will teach thee in the way of wisdom, I will lead thee in paths of uprightness.

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

And strangers will be filled with your strength
And your hard-earned wealth will go to the house of a foreigner [who does not know God];

Let your fountain be blessed,
and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.

Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

So is he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.

He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.

She took hold of him and kissed him. Her face was impudent, and she said to him,

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

The bag of money he took in his hand, for [on] the day of the full moon he will come home."

Suddenly he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter [not knowing the outcome],
Or as one in stocks going to the correction [to be given] to a fool,

Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.

Take my teaching and not silver; may you choose knowledge rather than choice gold.

Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.

Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

To take heed unto the chastening of nurture, is the way of life; but he that refuseth to be reformed, deceiveth himself.

Where no good counsel is, there the people decay; but whereas are many that can give counsel, there is wealth.

A virtuous woman, is the crown of her husband, but, a veritable decay in his bones, is she that causeth shame.

The diligent will take control, but the lazy will be put to forced labor.

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

Only by insolence is strife set up, and wisdom [is] with those who take advice.

What the wise have to teach is a fountain of life and causes someone to avoid the snares of death.

The wisdom of him that hath understanding is to take heed unto his way; but the foolishness of the unwise deceiveth.

The increase and prosperity of the commons is the king's honour; but the decay of the people is the confusion of the prince.

The life of the whole body, is a tranquil mind, but, a decay of the bones, is jealousy.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; and he will teach them that are unlearned.

Kings take pleasure in righteous speech; they treasure a person who speaks what is upright.

Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.

A man of Belial dug up evil, and upon his lips, as a burning fire.

A reproof will take hold upon, him understanding more than a hundred, blows the foolish.

A bribe out of his bosom, doth a lawless man take, to pervert the ways of justice.

A fool will not take pleasure in understanding, but in expressing his heart.

A man of great wrath will have to take his punishment: for if you get him out of trouble you will have to do it again.

Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.

The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.

If thou smitest a scornful person, the ignorant shall take better heed; and if thou reprovest one that hath understanding, he will be the wiser.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

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 wicked become a ransom for the righteous,
And the treacherous in the place of the upright [for they fall into their own traps].

Teach a youth about the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.

That your trust may be in Yahweh, I teach you today, even you.

in order to teach you true and reliable words,
so that you may give a dependable report
to those who sent you?

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:

for the Lord will take up their case
and will plunder those who plunder them.

Lest thou learn his ways, and take a snare to thy soul.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Have you seen a man who is expert in his business? he will take his place before kings; his place will not be among low persons.

When you take your seat at the feast with a ruler, give thought with care to what is before you;

Take no care to get wealth; let there be an end to your desire for money

Why wilt thou set thine eye upon the thing, which suddenly vanisheth away? For riches make themselves wings, and take their flight like an Eagle into the air.

Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat:

For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you.

Do not move an ancient boundary stone, or take over the fields of the fatherless,

for their Redeemer is strong,
and He will take up their case against you.

For those who take delight in drink and feasting will come to be in need; and through love of sleep a man will be poorly clothed

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.

My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:

Thus, take knowledge of wisdom, for thine own soul; If thou find it, then there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.

These things also, concern he wise, To take note of faces in judgment, is not good.

Then I looked, I took it to heart; I saw, I received instruction:

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

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

Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:

Don’t take a matter to court hastily.
Otherwise, what will you do afterward
if your opponent humiliates you?

Instead, take up the matter with your neighbor, and don't betray another person's confidence.

If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down.

It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.

Like as the bird, and the swallow take their flight and flee here and there; so the curse that is given in vain, shall not light upon a man.

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

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

The sluggard thinketh himself wiser than seven men that sit and teach.

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

A sensible person sees danger and takes cover;
the inexperienced keep going and are punished.
