My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings." 4.21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart." 4.22. For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh." 4.23. Above all that thou guardest keep thy heart; For out of it are the issues of life." 4.24. Put away from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee." 4.25. Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee." 4.26. Make plain the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established." 4.27. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; Remove thy foot from evil." 5.1. My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding;" 5.2. That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge." 7.1. My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee." 7.2. Keep my commandments and live, And my teaching as the apple of thine eye." 7.3. Bind them upon thy fingers, Write them upon the table of thy heart." 7.4. Say unto wisdom: ‘Thou art my sister’, And call understanding thy kinswoman;" 7.5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the alien woman that maketh smooth her words." 19.20. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end."
2. Hebrew Bible, Psalms, 121.3 (9th cent. BCE - 3rd cent. BCE)

121.3. אַל־יִתֵּן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֶךָ אַל־יָנוּם שֹׁמְרֶךָ׃ 121.3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber."
3. Septuagint, Ecclesiasticus (Siracides), 2.1-2.2, 2.4-2.13, 2.15-2.17, 3.17-3.18, 4.7-4.10, 6.1, 6.6-6.9, 6.14, 6.16-6.37, 7.1, 7.18-7.19, 7.24, 7.29-7.31, 9.16, 19.17, 20.14, 23.27, 25.11 (2nd cent. BCE - 2nd cent. BCE)

2.1. My son, if you come forward to serve the Lord,prepare yourself for temptation. 2.1. Consider the ancient generations and see:who ever trusted in the Lord and was put to shame?Or who ever persevered in the fear of the Lord and was forsaken?Or who ever called upon him and was overlooked? 2.2. Set your heart right and be steadfast,and do not be hasty in time of calamity. 2.4. Accept whatever is brought upon you,and in changes that humble you be patient. 2.5. For gold is tested in the fire,and acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation. 2.6. Trust in him, and he will help you;make your ways straight, and hope in him. 2.7. You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy;and turn not aside, lest you fall. 2.8. You who fear the Lord, trust in him,and your reward will not fail; 2.9. you who fear the Lord, hope for good things,for everlasting joy and mercy. 2.11. For the Lord is compassionate and merciful;he forgives sins and saves in time of affliction. 2.12. Woe to timid hearts and to slack hands,and to the sinner who walks along two ways! 2.15. Those who fear the Lord will not disobey his words,and those who love him will keep his ways. 2.16. Those who fear the Lord will seek his approval,and those who love him will be filled with the law. 2.17. Those who fear the Lord will prepare their hearts,and will humble themselves before him. 3.17. My son, perform your tasks in meekness;then you will be loved by those whom God accepts. 3.18. The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord. 4.7. Make yourself beloved in the congregation;bow your head low to a great man. 4.8. Incline your ear to the poor,and answer him peaceably and gently. 4.9. Deliver him who is wronged from the hand of the wrongdoer;and do not be fainthearted in judging a case. 7.1. Do no evil, and evil will never befall you. 7.1. Do not be fainthearted in your prayer,nor neglect to give alms. 7.18. Do not exchange a friend for money,or a real brother for the gold of Ophir. 7.19. Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife,for her charm is worth more than gold. 7.24. Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity,and do not show yourself too indulgent with them. 7.29. With all your soul fear the Lord,and honor his priests. 7.31. Fear the Lord and honor the priest,and give him his portion, as is commanded you:the first fruits, the guilt offering, the gift of the shoulders,the sacrifice of sanctification,and the first fruits of the holy things. 9.16. Let righteous men be your dinner companions,and let your glorying be in the fear of the Lord. 19.17. Question your neighbor before you threaten him;and let the law of the Most High take its course. 20.14. A fools gift will profit you nothing,for he has many eyes instead of one. 25.11. The fear of the Lord surpasses everything;to whom shall be likened the one who holds it fast?
4. Septuagint, Judith, 8.25-8.26 (2nd cent. BCE - 0th cent. CE)

8.25. In spite of everything let us give thanks to the Lord our God, who is putting us to the test as he did our forefathers. 8.26. Remember what he did with Abraham, and how he tested Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in Mesopotamia in Syria, while he was keeping the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
5. Septuagint, Wisdom of Solomon, 1.1-1.6, 2.3-2.4, 2.12, 2.15, 2.17, 3.5-3.6 (2nd cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE)

1.1. Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth,think of the Lord with uprightness,and seek him with sincerity of heart; 1.2. because he is found by those who do not put him to the test,and manifests himself to those who do not distrust him. 1.3. For perverse thoughts separate men from God,and when his power is tested, it convicts the foolish; 1.4. because wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul,nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin. 1.5. For a holy and disciplined spirit will flee from deceit,and will rise and depart from foolish thoughts,and will be ashamed at the approach of unrighteousness. 1.6. For wisdom is a kindly spirit and will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words;because God is witness of his inmost feelings,and a true observer of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. 2.3. When it is extinguished, the body will turn to ashes,and the spirit will dissolve like empty air. 2.4. Our name will be forgotten in time and no one will remember our works;our life will pass away like the traces of a cloud,and be scattered like mist that is chased by the rays of the sun and overcome by its heat. 2.12. Let us lie in wait for the righteous man,because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions;he reproaches us for sins against the law,and accuses us of sins against our training. 2.15. the very sight of him is a burden to us,because his manner of life is unlike that of others,and his ways are strange. 2.17. Let us see if his words are true,and let us test what will happen at the end of his life; 3.5. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good,because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; 3.6. like gold in the furnace he tried them,and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.
6. New Testament, 1 Peter, 1.2, 1.6-1.8 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE)

1.2. according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled in his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. 1.6. Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials 1.7. that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ -- 1.8. whom not having known you love; in whom, though now you don't see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory --
