4:4 he taught me, and he said to me:
“Let your heart lay hold of my words;
keep my commands so that you will live.
6:29 So it is with the one who has sex with his neighbor’s wife;
no one who touches her will escape punishment.
17:21 Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief,
and the father of a fool has no joy.
19:23 Fearing the Lord leads to life,
and one who does so will live satisfied; he will not be afflicted by calamity.
20:4 The sluggard will not plow during the planting season,
so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.
25:12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold,
so is a wise reprover to the ear of the one who listens.
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.
25:18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow,
so is the one who testifies against his neighbor as a false witness.
25:19 Like a bad tooth or a foot out of joint,
so is confidence in an unfaithful person at the time of trouble.
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.
26:9 Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard,
so is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
26:10 Like an archer who wounds at random,
so is the one who hires a fool or hires any passer-by.
26:17 Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears,
so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.
27:21 As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold,
so a person is proved by the praise he receives.
30:33 For as the churning of milk produces butter
and as punching the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.
