Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;
This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.
He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.
He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.
Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;
To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;
But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;
And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.
By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.
The wise-hearted man will let himself be ruled, but the man whose talk is foolish will have a fall.
He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.
The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself.
So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.
He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.
No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved.
He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.
No one has knowledge of a man's grief but himself; and a strange person has no part in his joy.
The wise man, fearing, keeps himself from evil; but the foolish man goes on in his pride, with no thought of danger.
All a man's ways are clean to himself; but the Lord puts men's spirits into his scales.
A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.
He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy.
A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.
He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.
Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
The wrath of a king is like the loud cry of a lion: he who makes him angry does wrong against himself.
He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help.
Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts.
Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:
Have you seen a man who seems to himself to be wise? There is more hope for the foolish than for him.
The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.
He who makes a hole in the earth will himself go falling into it: and on him by whom a stone is rolled the stone will come back again.
Give a foolish man a foolish answer, or he will seem wise to himself.
Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.
Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.
The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him.
The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life.
He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe.
He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.
For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.
Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;
And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.)
See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.
<To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us?> Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.
For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.
The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)
And the beast which was, and is not, is himself the eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes into destruction.
