When your dread cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When trouble and distress come upon you. 2.10. For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul; 2.17. That forsaketh the lord of her youth, And forgetteth the covet of her God. 3.16. Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honour. 3.21. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion; 3.22. So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck. 3.23. Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thou shalt not dash thy foot. 3.24. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 3.25. Be not afraid of sudden terror, Neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh; 3.26. For the LORD will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being caught. 3.27. Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it." 3.28. Say not unto thy neighbour: ‘Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give’; when thou hast it by thee. 3.32. For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; But His counsel is with the upright. 3.34. If it concerneth the scorners, He scorneth them, But unto the humble He giveth grace. 11.4. Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. 14.20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbour; But the rich hath many friends. . 20.6. Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness; but a faithful man who can find? 25.9. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour, but reveal not the secret of another; 25.10. Lest he that heareth it revile thee, and thine infamy turn not away. 27.10. Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; Neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity; Better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. 1. My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.,Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.,For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD;,To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion;,Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.,The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;,Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man attended,,Cast in thy lot among us; Let us all have one purse’—,’How long, ye thoughtless, will ye love thoughtlessness? And how long will scorners delight them in scorning, And fools hate knowledge?,To understand a proverb, and a figure; The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.,When your dread cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When trouble and distress come upon you.,For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.,Let us swallow them up alive as the grave, and whole, as those that go down into the pit;,To receive the discipline of wisdom, Justice, and right, and equity;,If they say: ‘Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us lurk for the innocent without cause;,Then will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me earnestly, but they shall not find me.,I also, in your calamity, will laugh, I will mock when your dread cometh;,That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, And the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels;,She calleth at the head of the noisy streets, at the entrances of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words:,But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof;,The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.,To know wisdom and instruction; To comprehend the words of understanding;,Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the teaching of thy mother;,For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.,We shall find all precious substance, We shall fill our houses with spoil;,But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.’,So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; it taketh away the life of the owners thereof.,For in vain the net is spread in the eyes of any bird;,My son, walk not thou in the way with them, restrain thy foot from their path;,They would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof.,For the waywardness of the thoughtless shall slay them, and the confidence of fools shall destroy them.,Wisdom crieth aloud in the streets, she uttereth her voice in the broad places;,And these lie in wait for their own blood, they lurk for their own lives. |

And David said to Sha᾽ul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Pelishtian. 17.41. And the Pelishtian came on and drew near to David; and the shield-bearer went before him. 17.48. And it came to pass, when the Pelishtian arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hastened, and ran to the enemy line towards the Pelishtian. 20.34. So Yehonatan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food on the second day of the new moon: for he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to shame. 26.10. And David said, As the Lord lives, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and be swept away. 31.1. Now the Pelishtim fought against Yisra᾽el: and the men of Yisra᾽el fled from before the Pelishtim, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 31.2. And the Pelishtim followed closely upon Sha᾽ul and upon his sons; and the Pelishtim slew Yehonatan, and Avinadav, and Malki-shua, the sons of Sha᾽ul. 31.3. And the battle went hard against Sha᾽ul, and the archers hit him; and he was greatly in dread of the archers. 31.4. Then Sha᾽ul said to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was very much afraid. Therefore Sha᾽ul took a sword, and fell on it. 31.5. And when his armourbearer saw that Sha᾽ul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him. 31.6. So Sha᾽ul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together. 31.8. And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Pelishtim came to strip the slain, that they found Sha᾽ul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa. 31.9. And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Pelishtim round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people. 31.10. And they put his armour in the house of ῾Ashtarot: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bet-shan. 31.13. And they took their bones, and buried them under a tamarisk tree at Yavesh, and fasted seven days. |

The beauty, O Yisra᾽el, is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! 1.20. Tell it not in Gat, publish it not in the streets of Ashqelon; lest the daughters of the Pelishtim rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 1.21. Mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Sha᾽ul, as though not anointed with oil. 1.22. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Yehonatan turned not back, and the sword of Sha᾽ul returned not empty. 1.23. Sha᾽ul and Yehonatan were loved and dear in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 1.24. Daughters of Yisra᾽el, weep over Sha᾽ul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 1.25. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Yehonatan, slain on thy high places. 1.26. I am distressed for thee, my brother Yehonatan: very dear hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, more than the love of women. 1.27. How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war cast away. 15.12. And Avshalom sent Aĥitofel the Giloni, David’s counsellor, from his city, from Gilo, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy became strong, the people increasing continually with Avshalom. 15.30. And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went. 15.31. And one told David, saying, Aĥitofel is among the conspirators with Avshalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Aĥitofel into foolishness. 15.37. So Ĥushay David’s friend came into the city, and Avshalom came to Yerushalayim. |
