'May' in the Bible
Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father,And give attention that you may gain understanding,
That you may observe discretionAnd your lips may reserve knowledge.
That they may keep you from an adulteress,From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
To endow those who love me with wealth,That I may fill their treasuries.
Even in laughter the heart may be in pain,And the end of joy may be grief.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,That one may avoid the snares of death.
The path of life leads upward for the wiseThat he may keep away from Sheol below.
Listen to counsel and accept discipline,That you may be wise the rest of your days.
The fear of the Lord leads to life,So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd,But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.
For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,That they may be ready on your lips.
So that your trust may be in the Lord,I have taught you today, even you.
To make you know the certainty of the words of truthThat you may correctly answer him who sent you?
By forbearance a ruler may be persuaded,And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
Do not boast about tomorrow,For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,That I may reply to him who reproaches me.
The lizard you may grasp with the hands,Yet it is in kings’ palaces.
