3:26 for the Lord will be the source of your confidence,
and he will guard your foot from being caught in a trap.
5:22 The wicked will be captured by his own iniquities,
and he will be held by the cords of his own sin.
7:22 Suddenly he went after her
like an ox that goes to the slaughter,
like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare
7:23 till an arrow pierces his liver –
like a bird hurrying into a trap,
and he does not know that it will cost him his life.
18:20 From the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach is satisfied,
with the product of his lips is he satisfied.
19:7 All the relatives of a poor person hate him;
how much more do his friends avoid him –
he pursues them with words, but they do not respond.
19:23 Fearing the Lord leads to life,
and one who does so will live satisfied; he will not be afflicted by calamity.
19:25 Flog a scorner, and as a result the simpleton will learn prudence;
correct a discerning person, and as a result he will understand knowledge.
20:4 The sluggard will not plow during the planting season,
so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.
21:13 The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor,
he too will cry out and will not be answered.
21:20 There is desirable treasure and olive oil in the dwelling of the wise,
but a foolish person devours all he has.
24:16 Although a righteous person may fall seven times, he gets up again,
but the wicked will be brought down by calamity.
25:13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
so is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
for he refreshes the heart of his masters.
25:17 Don’t set foot too frequently in your neighbor’s house,
lest he become weary of you and hate you.
27:21 As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold,
so a person is proved by the praise he receives.
28:6 A poor person who walks in his integrity is better
than one who is perverse in his ways even though he is rich.
29:9 If a wise person goes to court with a foolish person,
there is no peace whether he is angry or laughs.
29:18 When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,
but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he!
