1:10 My child, if sinners try to entice you,
do not consent!
2:1 My child, if you receive my words,
and store up my commands within you,
2:3 indeed, if you call out for discernment –
raise your voice for understanding –
2:4 if you seek it like silver,
and search for it like hidden treasure,
3:30 Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause,
if he has not treated you wrongly.
4:8 Esteem her highly and she will exalt you;
she will honor you if you embrace her.
11:31 If the righteous are recompensed on earth,
how much more the wicked sinner!
19:27 If you stop listening to instruction, my child,
you will stray from the words of knowledge.
23:2 and put a knife to your throat
if you possess a large appetite.
you will deliver him from death.
23:15 My child, if your heart is wise,
then my heart also will be glad;
24:10 If you faint in the day of trouble,
your strength is small!
29:12 If a ruler listens to lies,
all his ministers will be wicked.
29:14 If a king judges the poor in truth,
his throne will be established forever.
29:21 If someone pampers his servant from youth,
he will be a weakling in the end.
