1:29 Because they hated moral knowledge,
and did not choose to fear the Lord,

nor will they reach the paths of life.
3:22 So they will give life to you,
and grace to adorn your neck.
4:17 For they eat bread gained from wickedness
and drink wine obtained from violence.
15:22 Plans fail when there is no counsel,

30:26 rock badgers are creatures with little power,
but they make their homes in the crags;
30:27 locusts have no king,
but they all go forward by ranks;
