PR 1:1  The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
PR 1:2  To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
PR 1:3  To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
PR 1:4  To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
PR 1:5  A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
PR 1:6  To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
PR 1:7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
PR 1:8  My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
PR 1:9  For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
PR 1:10  My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
PR 1:11  If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
PR 1:12  Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
PR 1:13  We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
PR 1:14  Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
PR 1:15  My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
PR 1:16  For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
PR 1:17  Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
PR 1:18  And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
PR 1:19  So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
PR 1:20  Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
PR 1:21  She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
PR 1:22  How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
PR 1:23  Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
PR 1:24  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
PR 1:25  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
PR 1:26  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
PR 1:27  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
PR 1:28  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
PR 1:29  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
PR 1:30  They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
PR 1:31  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
PR 1:32  For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
PR 1:33  But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
PR 2:1  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
PR 2:2  So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
PR 2:3  Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
PR 2:4  If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
PR 2:5  Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
PR 2:6  For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
PR 2:7  He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
PR 2:8  He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
PR 2:9  Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
PR 2:10  When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
PR 2:11  Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
PR 2:12  To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
PR 2:13  Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
PR 2:14  Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
PR 2:15  Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
PR 2:16  To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
PR 2:17  Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
PR 2:18  For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
PR 2:19  None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
PR 2:20  That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
PR 2:21  For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
PR 2:22  But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
PR 3:1  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
PR 3:2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
PR 3:3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
PR 3:4  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
PR 3:5  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
PR 3:6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
PR 3:7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
PR 3:8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
PR 3:9  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
PR 3:10  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
PR 3:11  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
PR 3:12  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
PR 3:13  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
PR 3:14  For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
PR 3:15  She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
PR 3:16  Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
PR 3:17  Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
PR 3:18  She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
PR 3:19  The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
PR 3:20  By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
PR 3:21  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
PR 3:22  So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
PR 3:23  Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
PR 3:24  When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
PR 3:25  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
PR 3:26  For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
PR 3:27  Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
PR 3:28  Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
PR 3:29  Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
PR 3:30  Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
PR 3:31  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
PR 3:32  For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
PR 3:33  The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
PR 3:34  Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
PR 3:35  The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
PR 4:1  Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
PR 4:2  For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
PR 4:3  For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
PR 4:4  He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
PR 4:5  Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
PR 4:6  Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
PR 4:7  Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
PR 4:8  Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
PR 4:9  She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
PR 4:10  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
PR 4:11  I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
PR 4:12  When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
PR 4:13  Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
PR 4:14  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
PR 4:15  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
PR 4:16  For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
PR 4:17  For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
PR 4:18  But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
PR 4:19  The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
PR 4:20  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
PR 4:21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
PR 4:22  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
PR 4:23  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
PR 4:24  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
PR 4:25  Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
PR 4:26  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
PR 4:27  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
PR 5:1  My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
