Let us swallow them alive like Sheol (the place of the dead), Even whole, as those who go down to the pit [of death];
-
For her house leads down to death And her paths lead to the dead;
-
Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
-
Her house is the way to Sheol, Descending to the chambers of death.
-
“But he who fails to find me or sins against me injures himself; All those who hate me love and court death.”
-
Treasures of wickedness and ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness and moral integrity in daily life rescues from death.
-
Riches will not provide security in the day of wrath and judgment, But righteousness rescues from death.
-
He who is steadfast in righteousness attains life, But he who pursues evil attains his own death.
-
In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death [but immortality—eternal life].
-
The teaching of the wise is a fountain and source of life, So that one may avoid the snares of death.
-
There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, But its end is the way of death.
-
The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that leads to obedience and worship] is a fountain of life, So that one may avoid the snares of death.
-
The wicked is overthrown through his wrongdoing, But the righteous has hope and confidence and a refuge [with God] even in death.
-
The wrath of a king is like a messenger of death, But a wise man will appease it.
-
There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, But its end is the way of death.
-
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.
-
Acquiring treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the seeking and pursuit of death.
-
Rescue those who are being taken away to death, And those who stagger to the slaughter, Oh hold them back [from their doom]!
-
Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows, and death,
-
A man who is burdened with the guilt of human blood (murder) Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him or give him refuge.
