1 Do no evil, so shall no evil overtake you. 2 Depart from wrong, and it shall turn aside from you. 3 My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, And you shall not reap them sevenfold. 4 Seek not of the Lord preeminence, Neither of the king the seat of honor. 5 Justify […]

1 Contend not with a mighty man, Lest haply you fall into his hands. 2 Strive not with a rich man, lest haply he overweigh you: For gold has destroyed many, And turned aside the hearts of kings. 3 Contend not with a man that is full of tongue, And heap not wood upon his […]

1 Be not jealous over the wife of your bosom, And teach her not an evil lesson against yourself. 2 Give not your soul to a woman, That she should set her foot upon your strength. 3 Go not to meet a woman that playeth the harlot, Lest haply you fall into her snares. 4 […]

1 He that touches pitch shall be defiled; And he that has fellowship with a proud man shall become like to him. 2 Take not up a burden above your strength; And have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than yourself. What fellowship shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? This […]

1 He that fears the Lord will do this; And he that has possession of the law shall obtain her. 2 And as a mother shall she meet him, And receive him as a wife married in her virginity. 3 With bread of understanding shall she feed him, And give him water of wisdom to […]

1 Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, Neither delight in ungodly sons. 2 If they multiply, delight not in them, Except the fear of the Lord be with them. 3 Trust not you in their life, Neither rely on their condition: For one is better than a thousand; And to die childless than to […]
