I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
-
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
-
then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
-
My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion;
-
Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
-
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
-
Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
-
It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
-
Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
-
When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.
-
For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
-
Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.
-
When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;
-
when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
-
Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
-
Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
-
What the wicked dread will overtake them; what the righteous desire will be granted.
-
The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm.
-
Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.
-
No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
-
Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
-
Good judgment wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.
-
A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance as one of the family.
-
Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
-
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
