'May' in the Bible

That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.

For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed.

That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him that reproacheth me.
