She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.

One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.

Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!

She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
