Hebrew and Greek words, transliterations, and pronunciations from the Open Scriptures Strong's dictionaries (CC BY-SA).

A is the first letter of the Alphabet in most of the known languages of the earth; in the Ethiopic, however it is the thirteenth, and in the Runic the tenth. It is naturally the first letter, because it represents the first vocal sound naturally formed by the human organs; being the sound uttered with a mere opening of the mouth without constraint, and without any effort to alter the natural position or configuration of the lips. The a has been proven to be the first natural vocal sound, and entitled to the first place in alphabets.

A has in English, three sounds; the long or slender, as in place, fate; the broad, as in wall, fall, which is shortened in salt, what; and the open, as in father, glass, which is shortened in rather, fancy. Its primitive sound was probably aw. a is also an abbreviation used before words beginning with an articulation; as a table, instead of an table, or one table. This is a modern change.

5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

6:1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
6:5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6:24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
