1:27 when what you dread comes like a whirlwind,
and disaster strikes you like a devastating storm,
when distressing trouble comes on you.
7:22 Suddenly he went after her
like an ox that goes to the slaughter,
like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare
15:19 The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns,
but the path of the upright is like a highway.
18:4 The words of a person’s mouth are like deep waters,
and the fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.
18:11 The wealth of a rich person is like a strong city,
and it is like a high wall in his imagination.
19:12 A king’s wrath is like the roar of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
23:34 And you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
and like one who lies down on the top of the rigging.
25:20 Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on soda,
so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
