4:14 Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers.

4:15 Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on.

4:16 For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not [some] to stumble.

4:17 For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And wine of violence they drink.

4:18 And the path of the righteous [is] as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

4:19 The way of the wicked [is] as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.

4:20 My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear,

4:21 Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart.

4:22 For life they [are] to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing.

4:23 Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it [are] the outgoings of life.

4:24 Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee,

4:25 Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee.

4:26 Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways [are] established.

4:27 Incline not [to] the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!

5:1 My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear,

5:2 To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep.

5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil [is] her mouth,

5:4 And her latter end [is] bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword [with] mouths.

5:5 Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.

5:6 The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.

5:7 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth.

5:8 Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,

5:9 Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,

5:10 Lest strangers be filled [with] thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger,

29:6 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare , And the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 29:7 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor , The wicked understandeth not knowledge. 29:8 Men of scorning ensnare a city , And the wise turn back anger. 29:9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry , And he hath laughed, and there is no rest. 29:10 Men of blood hate the perfect , And the upright seek his soul. 29:11 A fool bringeth out all his mind , And the wise till afterwards restraineth it. 29:12 A ruler who is attending to lying words , All his ministers [are] wicked. 29:13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together , Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both. 29:14 a king that is judging truly the poor , His throne for ever is established. 29:15 A rod and reproof give wisdom , And a youth let away is shaming his mother. 29:16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth,

30:24 Four [are] little ones of earth , And they are made wiser than the wise: 30:25 The ants [are] a people not strong , And they prepare in summer their food, 30:26 Conies [are] a people not strong , And they place in a rock their house, 30:27 A king there is not to the locust , And it goeth out -- each one shouting, 30:28 A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. 30:29 Three there are going well , Yea, four are good in going: 30:30 An old lion -- mighty among beasts , That turneth not back from the face of any, 30:31 A girt one of the loins , or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him. 30:32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth! 30:33 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter , And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood , And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife! 31:1 Words of Lemuel a king , a declaration that his mother

25:9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not, 25:10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame , And thine evil report turn not back. 25:11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver , [Is] the word spoken at its fit times. 25:12 A ring of gold , and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear. 25:13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest , [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth. 25:14 Clouds and wind , and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift. 25:15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded , And a soft tongue breaketh a bone. 25:16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it. 25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house , Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee. 25:18 A maul, and a sword , and a sharp arrow , [Is] the man
