which occurs 45 times in 43 verses in 'Pro'
in the WLC Hebrew.
“Anyone who listens to me is happy,
watching at my doors every day,
waiting by the posts of my doorway.
A person will be satisfied with good
by the fruit of his mouth,
and the work of a person’s hands will reward him.
A lazy hunter doesn’t roast his game,
but to a diligent person, his wealth is precious.
The reflections of the heart belong to mankind,
but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
What is desirable in a person is his fidelity;
better to be a poor person than a liar.
Even a courageous person’s steps are determined by the LORD,
so how can anyone understand his own way?
It is a trap for anyone to dedicate something rashly
and later to reconsider his vows.
The person who strays from the way of prudence
will come to rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of a wise person,
but a fool consumes them.[fn]
indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber
and increases the number of unfaithful people.
If you say, “But we didn’t know about this,”
won’t he who weighs hearts consider it?
Won’t he who protects your life know?
Won’t he repay a person according to his work?
When a land is in rebellion, it has many rulers,
but with a discerning and knowledgeable person, it endures.
When the righteous triumph,
there is great rejoicing,[fn]
but when the wicked come to power,
people hide.
Happy is the one who is always reverent,
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
One who rebukes a person will later find more favor
than one who flatters with his tongue.
When the wicked come to power,
people hide,
but when they are destroyed,
the righteous flourish.
I am more stupid than any other person,[fn]
and I lack a human’s ability to understand.
