ukjv@Proverbs:23:9 @ Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

ukjv@Proverbs:23:32 @ At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
ukjv@Proverbs:23:33 @ Yours eyes shall behold strange women, and yours heart shall utter perverse things.
ukjv@Proverbs:23:34 @ Yea, you shall be as he that lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lies upon the top of a mast.
ukjv@Proverbs:23:35 @ They have stricken me, shall you say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

ukjv@Proverbs:24:11 @ If you forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

ukjv@Proverbs:24:18 @ Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
ukjv@Proverbs:24:19 @ Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you envious at the wicked:
ukjv@Proverbs:24:20 @ For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
