1:9 For they will be like an elegant garland on your head,
and like pendants around your neck.
4:19 The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness;
they do not know what causes them to stumble.
4:22 for they are life to those who find them
and healing to one’s entire body.
7:5 so that they may keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the loose woman who flatters you with her words.
9:18 But they do not realize that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
11:26 People will curse the one who withholds grain,
but they will praise the one who sells it.
18:8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down into the person’s innermost being.
21:6 Making a fortune by a lying tongue is like a vapor driven back and forth;
they seek death.
21:7 The violence done by the wicked will drag them away
because they refuse to do what is right.
21:22 The wise person can scale the city of the mighty
and bring down the stronghold in which they trust.
22:18 For it is pleasing if you keep these sayings within you,
and they are ready on your lips.
26:22 The words of a gossip are like delicious morsels;
they go down into a person’s innermost being.
31:5 lest they drink and forget what is decreed,
and remove from all the poor their legal rights.
