“What, my son?And what, son of my womb?And what, son of my vows?” “Do not give your strength to women,Or your ways to that which destroys kings.” “It is not for kings, Lemuel,It is not for kings to drink wine,Or for rulers to desire intoxicating drink,” “For they will drink and forget what is decreed,And pervert the rights of all the needy.” “Give intoxicating drink to one who is perishing,And…

“The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the pronouncement.The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:” “Surely I am more stupid than any man,And I do not have the understanding of a man;Neither have I learned wisdom,Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.” “Who has ascended into heaven and descended?Who has gathered the wind in His fists?Who has wrapped the waters in His garment?Who has…

“The wicked flee when no one is pursuing,But the righteous are bold as a lion.Because of the wrongdoing of a land, its princes are many,But by a person of understanding and knowledge,So it endures.” “A poor man who oppresses the helplessIs like a driving rain which leaves no food.Those who abandon the Law praise the wicked,But those who keep the Law strive with them.” “Evil people do not understand justice,But…

“Do not boast about tomorrow,For you do not know what a day may bring.Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;A stranger, and not your own lips.” “A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.Wrath is cruel and anger is a flood,But who can stand before jealousy?” “Better is open rebukeThan love that is concealed.Faithful are the wounds…
