-
When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
-
So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck.
-
Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.
-
But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.”
-
The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked.
-
The merciful man does good for his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
-
The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.
-
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
-
A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.
-
The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
-
A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
-
The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.
-
A true witness delivers souls, But a deceitful witness speaks lies.
-
He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
-
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
-
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
-
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
-
Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet.
-
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
-
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of his ways will die.
-
The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
-
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.
-
Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards his soul will be far from them.
-
For the Lord will plead their cause, And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.
-
Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul.
