I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
-
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
-
then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
-
Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
-
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
-
Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
-
It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
-
Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
-
When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.
-
When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;
-
when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
-
Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

What the wicked dread will overtake them; what the righteous desire will be granted.
-
The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm.
-
Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.

No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.

Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
-
A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance as one of the family.
-
Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
-
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
-
It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
-
A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
-
A wise king winnows out the wicked; he drives the threshing wheel over them.
-
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
