-
then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
-
Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;
-
So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,
-
So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.
-
So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.
-
Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.
-
If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
-
When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.
-
A man of great wrath will pay the penalty, for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.
-
Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
-
Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
-
You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten, and waste your pleasant words.
-
If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.
-
You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast.
-
“They struck me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I must have another drink.”
-
for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
