3:21 My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness,

3:22 And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

3:23 Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not stumble.

3:24 If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.

3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh.

3:26 For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.

3:27 Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand [is] toward God to do [it].

3:28 Say not thou to thy friend, `Go, and return, and to-morrow I give,' And substance with thee.

3:29 Devise not against thy neighbour evil, And he sitting confidently with thee.

3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, If he have not done thee evil.

3:31 Be not envious of a man of violence, Nor fix thou on any of his ways.

3:32 For an abomination to Jehovah [is] the perverted, And with the upright [is] His secret counsel.

3:33 The curse of Jehovah [is] in the house of the wicked. And the habitation of the righteous He blesseth.

3:34 If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace.

3:35 Honour do the wise inherit, And fools are bearing away shame!

4:1 Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.

4:2 For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not.

4:3 For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only one before my mother.

4:4 And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.

4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.

4:6 Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and she doth keep thee.

4:7 The first thing [is] wisdom -- get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding.

4:8 Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.

4:9 She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.

4:10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life [are] multiplied to thee.

4:11 In a way of wisdom I have directed thee, I have caused thee to tread in paths of uprightness.

4:12 In thy walking thy step is not straitened, And if thou runnest, thou stumblest not.

4:13 Lay hold on instruction, do not desist, Keep her, for she [is] thy life.

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
