Proverbs 4
[1] Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know
understanding.
[2] For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. [3] For I was my
father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
[4] He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep
my commandments, and live.
[5] Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the
words of my mouth.
[6] Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep
thee.
[7] Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy
getting get understanding.
[8] Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour,
when thou dost embrace her.
[9] She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall
she deliver to thee.
[10] Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall
be many.
[11] I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
[12] When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou
runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
[13] Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy
life.
[14] Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
[15] Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. [16] For they
sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away,
unless they cause some to fall. [17] For they eat the bread of wickedness, and
drink the wine of violence. [18] But the path of the just is as the shining
light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
[19] The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
[20] My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. [21] Let
them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
[22] For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their
flesh.
[23] Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
[24] Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
[25] Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before
thee.
[26] Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. [27]
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
Proverbs 5
[1] My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: [2]
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
[3] For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is
smoother than oil:
[4] But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. [5] Her feet
go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. [6] Lest thou shouldest ponder
the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
[7] Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my
mouth.
[8] Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: [9]
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: [10]
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a
stranger;
[11] And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
[12] And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
[13] And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to
them that instructed me!
[14] I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
[15] Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine
own well.
[16] Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the
streets.
[17] Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. [18] Let thy
fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. [19] Let her be
as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all
times; and be thou ravished always with her love. [20] And why wilt thou, my
son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
[21] For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all
his goings.
[22] His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden
with the cords of his sins.
[23] He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he
shall go astray.
Proverbs 6
[1] My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand
with a stranger,
[2] Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words
of thy mouth.
[3] Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of
thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. [4] Give not sleep
to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. [5] Deliver thyself as a roe from
the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
[6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: [7] Which
having no guide, overseer, or ruler, [8] Provideth her meat in the summer, and
gathereth her food in the harvest. [9] How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
[10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep:
[11] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an
armed man.
[12] A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. [13] He
winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
[14] Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth
discord.
[15] Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken
without remedy.
[16] These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto
him:
[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] An
heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to
mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among
brethren.
[20] My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy
mother:
[21] Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. [22]
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;
and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. [23] For the commandment is a
lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
[24] To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a
strange woman.
[25] Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with
her eyelids.
[26] For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and
the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. [27] Can a man take fire in
his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? [28] Can one go upon hot coals, and
his feet not be burned? [29] So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife;
whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
[30] Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is
hungry;
[31] But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the
substance of his house.
[32] But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that
doeth it destroyeth his own soul. [33] A wound and dishonour shall he get; and
his reproach shall not be wiped away.
[34] For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day
of vengeance.
[35] He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou
givest many gifts.
