Such is the end of all who are greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.

those who go to her never come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Admonition to Keep to the Right Path
Hear, my child, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many.
-
Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.
-
For they are life to those who find them and healing to all their flesh.
-
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
-
She does not keep straight to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.
-
and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,
-
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
-
for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another stalks a man’s precious life.
-
until an arrow pierces its entrails. He is like a bird rushing into a snare, not knowing that it will cost him his life.
-
For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord,
-
For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
-
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
-
The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
-
Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.
-
The fear of the Lord prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.
-
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the wise capture souls.
-
In the path of righteousness there is life; in walking its path there is no death.
-
Wealth is a ransom for a person’s life, but a poor person pays no attention to a rebuke.
-
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
