The Enticement of Sinners
Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,
-
My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
-
for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;
-
Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;
-
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
-
Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
-
but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”
-
Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.
-
The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
-
Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
-
If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
-
In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
-
Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, but sin overthrows the wicked.
-
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.
-
Disaster pursues sinners, but the righteous are rewarded with good.
-
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
-
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
-
Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.
-
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.
-
The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but the righteous finds refuge in his death.
-
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
-
An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.
-
A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will appease it.
-
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
-
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
