'May' in the Bible

Listen, children, to a father's instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment.

Make the path for your feet level, so that all your ways may be established.

in order to safeguard discretion, and that your lips may guard knowledge.

May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in your young wife --

a loving doe, a graceful deer; may her breasts satisfy you at all times, may you be captivated by her love always.

Keep my commands so that you may live, and obey my instruction as your most prized possession.

so that they may keep you from the adulterous woman, from the loose woman who flatters you with her words.

that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, and that I may fill their treasuries.

Listen to my instruction so that you may be wise, and do not neglect it.

Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live, and proceed in the way of understanding."

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.

A person who has friends may be harmed by them, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Listen to advice and receive discipline, that you may become wise by the end of your life.

Do not say, "I will pay back evil!" Wait for the Lord, so that he may vindicate you.

So that your confidence may be in the Lord, I am making them known to you today -- even you.

to show you true and reliable words, so that you may give accurate answers to those who sent you?

May your father and your mother have joy; may she who bore you rejoice.

Although a righteous person may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked will be brought down by calamity.

Though his hatred may be concealed by deceit, his evil will be uncovered in the assembly.

Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.
