The one who gives an answer before he listens—
this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

The gift of a person will open doors for him, and before the great, it gives him access.

The poor man makes requests for grace, but the man of wealth gives a rough answer.

Many will seek the favor of a generous and noble man,
And everyone is a friend to him who gives gifts.

A person’s insight gives him patience,
and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

Take his garment, for he has given security [to] a stranger, and on behalf of a foreigner--take it as pledge.

He who goes about talking of the business of others gives away secrets: so have nothing to do with him whose lips are open wide.

Do not say, I will give punishment for evil: go on waiting for the Lord, and he will be your saviour.

Privately given gifts pacify wrath, and payments made secretly appease great anger.

The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright.

He craves all the day long [and does no work],
But the righteous [willingly] gives and does not withhold [what he has].

The offering of evil-doers is disgusting: how much more when they give it with an evil purpose!

The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way.

Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.

The good of eye -- he is blessed, For he hath given of his bread to the poor.

He who oppresses or exploits the poor to get more for himself
Or who gives to the rich [to gain influence and favor], will only come to poverty.

Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.

To let you know the certainty of the words of truth,
That you may give a correct answer to him who sent you?

For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods.

Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:

Do not be with those who {give a pledge} {by becoming} surety.

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

And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.

Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld

Give ear, my son, and be wise, guiding your heart in the right way

Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat:

for such as be drunkards and riotous shall come to poverty, and he that is given to much sleep, shall go with a ragged coat.

Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Look not you upon the wine when it is red, when it gives its color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.

For with discretion must wars be taken in hand, and whereas are many that can give counsel, there is the victory.

If you give way in the day of trouble, your strength is small.

Be the saviour of those who are given up to death, and do not keep back help from those who are slipping to destruction.

If you say, See, we had no knowledge of this: does not the tester of hearts give thought to it? and he who keeps your soul, has he no knowledge of it? and will he not give to every man the reward of his work?

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

He kisses the lips [and wins the hearts of people]
Who gives a right and straightforward answer.

Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will give the man the reward of his work.

Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:

Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention.

As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.

Like clouds and wind without rain
Is a man who boasts falsely of gifts [he does not give].

A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward.

As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.

[Like] a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is the righteous who gives way before the wicked.

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.

Do not give to the foolish man a foolish answer, or you will be like him.

Give a foolish man a foolish answer, or he will seem wise to himself.

Like one who [absurdly] binds a stone in a sling [making it impossible to throw],
So is he who [absurdly] gives honor to a fool.

The great God that formed all things gives the fool his hire, and the transgressor his wages.

The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.

Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started.

Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.

Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?

The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false.

The heart is glad of a sweet ointment and savour, but a stomach that can give good counsel, rejoiceth a man's neighbour.

Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.

My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.

Take his garment, for he gives surety [to] a stranger, and to {an adulteress}--[so] take his pledge.

He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.

Pay careful attention to the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds,

Those who have no respect for the law give praise to the evil-doer; but such as keep the law are against him.

He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.

One who has been the cause of a man's death will go in flight to the underworld: let no man give him help.

He who gives to the poor will never want,
But he who shuts his eyes [from their need] will have many curses.

By justice a king gives stability [to] a land, but a man of bribes will ruin it.

The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it.

Men given to mockery, inflame a city, - but, wise men, turn away anger.

A fool gives all his breath, but [the] wise holds back in quiet.

If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers.

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed.

An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered and undisciplined man commits many transgressions.

The fear of man will give a snare: and he trusting in Jehovah shall be exalted.

There is a generation who put a curse on their father, and do not give a blessing to their mother.

The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

O Lemuel, give kings no wine, give kings and princes no strong drink;

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

Let your mouth be open, judging rightly, and give right decisions in the cause of the poor and those in need.

And she arises while [it is] still night, and gives food to her household, and tasks to her servant girls.

She equips herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task]
And makes her arms strong.

Linen garments she hath made, and selleth, And a girdle she hath given to the merchant.

Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue.

She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.

Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying,

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

All things are full of weariness; man may not give their story: the eye has never enough of its seeing, or the ear of its hearing.
