THE PROVERBS
1Proverbs1 1:1
The
proverbs
of
Solomon
the
son
of
David,
king
of
Israel:
2 1:2
To
know
wisdom
and
instruction;
To
discern
the
words
of
understanding;
3 1:3
To
receive
instruction
in
wise dealing,
In
righteousness
and
justice
and
equity;
4 1:4
To
give
prudence
to
the
simple,
To
the
young
man
knowledge
and
discretion:
5 1:5
That
the
wise
man
may
hear,
and
increase
in
learning;
And
that
the
man
of
understanding
may
attain
unto
sound
counsels:
6 1:6
To
understand
a
proverb,
and
a
figure,
The
words
of
the
wise,
and
their
dark
sayings.
7 1:7
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
beginning
of
knowledge;
But
the
foolish
despise
wisdom
and
instruction.
8 1:8
My
son,
hear
the
instruction
of
thy
father,
And
forsake
not
the
law
of
thy
mother:
9 1:9
For
they
shall
be
a chaplet
of
grace
unto
thy
head,
And
chains
about
thy
neck.
10 1:10
My
son,
if
sinners
entice
thee,
Consent
thou
not.
11 1:11
If
they
say,
Come
with
us,
Let
us
lay
wait
for
blood;
Let
us
lurk
privily
for
the
innocent
without
cause;
12 1:12
Let
us
swallow
them
up
alive
as
Sheol,
And
whole,
as
those
that
go
down
into
the
pit;
13 1:13
We
shall
find
all
precious
substance;
We
shall
fill
our
houses
with
spoil;
14 1:14
Thou shalt
cast
thy
lot
among
us;
We
will
all
have
one
purse:
15 1:15
My
son,
walk
not
thou
in
the
way
with
them;
Refrain
thy
foot
from
their
path:
16 1:16
For
their
feet
run
to
evil,
And
they
make
haste
to
shed
blood.
17 1:17
For
in
vain
is
the
net
spread
In
the
sight
of
any
bird:
18 1:18
And
these
lay
wait
for
their
own
blood;
They
lurk
privily
for
their
own
lives.
19 1:19
So
are
the
ways
of
every
one
that
is
greedy
of
gain;
It
taketh
away
the
life
of
the
owners
thereof.
20 1:20
Wisdom
crieth
aloud
in
the
street;
She
uttereth
her
voice
in
the
broad
places;
21 1:21
She
crieth
in
the
chief
place
of
concourse;
At
the
entrance
of
the
gates,
In
the
city,
she
uttereth
her
words:
22 1:22
How
long,
ye
simple
ones,
will
ye
love
simplicity?
And
scoffers
delight
them
in
scoffing,
And
fools
hate
knowledge?
23 1:23
Turn
you
at
my
reproof:
Behold,
I
will
pour
out
my
spirit
upon
you;
I
will
make
known
my
words
unto
you.
24 1:24
Because
I
have
called,
and
ye
have
refused;
I
have
stretched
out
my
hand,
and
no
man
hath
regarded;
25 1:25
But
ye
have
set
at
nought
all
my
counsel,
And
would
none
of
my
reproof:
26 1:26
I
also
will
laugh
in
the
day
of
your
calamity;
I
will
mock
when
your
fear
cometh;
27 1:27
When
your
fear
cometh
as
a
storm,
And
your
calamity
cometh
on
as
a
whirlwind;
When
distress
and
anguish
come
upon
you.
28 1:28
Then
will
they
call
upon
me,
but
I
will
not
answer;
They
will
seek
me
diligently,
but
they
shall
not
find
me:
29 1:29
For
that
they
hated
knowledge,
And
did
not
choose
the
fear
of
Jehovah,
30 1:30
They
would
none
of
my
counsel,
They
despised
all
my
reproof.
31 1:31
Therefore
shall
they
eat
of
the
fruit
of
their
own
way,
And
be
filled
with
their
own
devices.
32 1:32
For
the
backsliding
of
the
simple
shall
slay
them,
And
the
careless
ease
of
fools
shall
destroy
them.
33 1:33
But
whoso
hearkeneth
unto
me
shall
dwell
securely,
And
shall
be
quiet
without
fear
of
evil.
21 2:1
My
son,
if
thou
wilt
receive
my
words,
And
lay
up
my
commandments
with
thee;
2 2:2
So
as
to
incline
thine
ear
unto
wisdom,
And
apply
thy
heart
to
understanding;
3 2:3
Yea,
if
thou
cry
after
discernment,
And
lift
up
thy
voice
for
understanding;
4 2:4
If
thou
seek
her
as
silver,
And
search
for
her
as
for
hid
treasures:
5 2:5
Then shalt
thou
understand
the
fear
of
Jehovah,
And
find
the
knowledge
of
God.
6 2:6
For
Jehovah
giveth
wisdom;
Out
of
his
mouth
cometh
knowledge
and
understanding:
7 2:7
He
layeth
up
sound
wisdom
for
the
upright;
He
is
a
shield
to
them
that
walk
in
integrity;
8 2:8
That
he
may
guard
the
paths
of
justice,
And
preserve
the
way
of
his
saints.
9 2:9
Then shalt
thou
understand
righteousness
and
justice,
And
equity,
yea,
every
good
path.
10 2:10
For
wisdom
shall
enter
into
thy
heart,
And
knowledge
shall
be
pleasant
unto
thy
soul;
11 2:11
Discretion
shall
watch
over
thee;
Understanding
shall
keep
thee:
12 2:12
To
deliver
thee
from
the
way
of
evil,
From
the
men
that
speak
perverse
things;
13 2:13
Who
forsake
the
paths
of
uprightness,
To
walk
in
the
ways
of
darkness;
14 2:14
Who
rejoice
to
do
evil,
And
delight
in
the
perverseness
of
evil;
15 2:15
Who
are
crooked
in
their
ways,
And
wayward
in
their
paths:
16 2:16
To
deliver
thee
from
the
strange
woman,
Even
from
the
foreigner
that
flattereth
with
her
words;
17 2:17
That
forsaketh
the
friend
of
her
youth,
And
forgetteth
the
covenant
of
her
God:
18 2:18
For
her
house
inclineth
unto
death,
And
her
paths
unto
the
dead;
19 2:19
None
that
go
unto
her
return
again,
Neither
do
they
attain
unto
the
paths
of
life:
20 2:20
That
thou
mayest
walk
in
the
way
of
good
men,
And
keep
the
paths
of
the
righteous.
21 2:21
For
the
upright
shall
dwell
in
the
land,
And
the
perfect
shall
remain
in
it.
22 2:22
But
the
wicked
shall
be
cut
off
from
the
land,
And
the
treacherous
shall
be
rooted
out
of
it.
31 3:1
My
son,
forget
not
my
law;
But
let
thy
heart
keep
my
commandments:
2 3:2
For
length
of
days,
and
years
of
life,
And
peace,
will
they
add
to
thee.
3 3:3
Let
not
kindness
and
truth
forsake
thee:
Bind
them
about
thy
neck;
Write
them
upon
the
tablet
of
thy
heart:
4 3:4
So shalt
thou
find
favor
and
good
understanding
In
the
sight
of
God
and
man.
5 3:5
Trust
in
Jehovah
with
all
thy
heart,
And
lean
not
upon
thine
own
understanding:
6 3:6
In
all
thy
ways
acknowledge
him,
And
he
will
direct
thy
paths.
7 3:7
Be
not
wise
in
thine
own
eyes;
Fear
Jehovah,
and
depart
from
evil:
8 3:8
It
will
be
health
to
thy
navel,
And
marrow
to
thy
bones.
9 3:9
Honor
Jehovah
with
thy
substance,
And
with
the first-fruits
of
all
thine
increase:
10 3:10
So
shall
thy
barns
be
filled
with
plenty,
And
thy
vats
shall
overflow
with
new
wine.
11 3:11
My
son,
despise
not
the
chastening
of
Jehovah;
Neither
be
weary
of
his
reproof:
12 3:12
For
whom
Jehovah
loveth
he
reproveth,
Even
as
a
father
the
son
in
whom
he
delighteth.
13 3:13
Happy
is
the
man
that
findeth
wisdom,
And
the
man
that
getteth
understanding.
14 3:14
For
the
gaining
of
it
is
better
than
the
gaining
of
silver,
And
the
profit
thereof
than
fine
gold.
15 3:15
She
is
more
precious
than
rubies:
And
none
of
the
things
thou
canst
desire
are
to
be
compared
unto
her.
16 3:16
Length
of
days
is
in
her
right
hand;
In
her
left
hand
are
riches
and
honor.
17 3:17
Her
ways
are
ways
of
pleasantness,
And
all
her
paths
are
peace.
18 3:18
She
is
a
tree
of
life
to
them
that
lay
hold
upon
her:
And
happy
is
every
one
that
retaineth
her.
19 3:19
Jehovah
by
wisdom
founded
the
earth;
By
understanding
he
established
the
heavens.
20 3:20
By
his
knowledge
the
depths
were
broken
up,
And
the
skies
drop
down
the
dew.
21 3:21
My
son,
let
them
not
depart
from
thine
eyes;
Keep
sound
wisdom
and
discretion:
22 3:22
So
shall
they
be
life
unto
thy
soul,
And
grace
to
thy
neck.
23 3:23
Then shalt
thou
walk
in
thy
way
securely,
And
thy
foot
shall
not
stumble.
24 3:24
When
thou
liest
down,
thou shalt
not
be
afraid:
Yea,
thou shalt
lie
down,
and
thy
sleep
shall
be
sweet.
25 3:25
Be
not
afraid
of
sudden
fear,
Neither
of
the
desolation
of
the
wicked,
when
it
cometh:
26 3:26
For
Jehovah
will
be
thy
confidence,
And
will
keep
thy
foot
from
being
taken.
27 3:27
Withhold
not
good
from
them
to
whom
it
is
due,
When
it
is
in
the
power
of
thy
hand
to
do
it.
28 3:28
Say
not
unto
thy
neighbor,
Go,
and
come
again,
And to-morrow
I
will
give;
When
thou
hast
it
by
thee.
29 3:29
Devise
not
evil
against
thy
neighbor,
Seeing
he
dwelleth
securely
by
thee.
30 3:30
Strive
not
with
a
man
without
cause,
If
he
have
done
thee
no
harm.
31 3:31
Envy
thou
not
the
man
of
violence,
And
choose
none
of
his
ways.
32 3:32
For
the
perverse
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
his
friendship
is
with
the
upright.
33 3:33
The
curse
of
Jehovah
is
in
the
house
of
the
wicked;
But
he
blesseth
the
habitation
of
the
righteous.
34 3:34
Surely
he scoffeth
at
the
scoffers;
But
he
giveth
grace
unto
the
lowly.
35 3:35
The
wise
shall
inherit
glory;
But
shame
shall
be
the
promotion
of
fools.
41 4:1
Hear,
my
sons,
the
instruction
of
a
father,
And
attend
to
know
understanding:
2 4:2
For
I
give
you
good
doctrine;
Forsake
ye
not
my
law.
3 4:3
For
I
was
a
son
unto
my
father,
Tender
and
only
beloved
in
the
sight
of
my
mother.
4 4:4
And
he
taught
me,
and
said
unto
me:
Let
thy
heart
retain
my
words;
Keep
my
commandments,
and
live;
5 4:5
Get
wisdom,
get
understanding;
Forget
not,
neither
decline
from
the
words
of
my
mouth;
6 4:6
Forsake
her
not,
and
she
will
preserve
thee;
Love
her,
and
she
will
keep
thee.
7 4:7
Wisdom
is
the
principal
thing;
therefore
get
wisdom;
Yea,
with
all
thy
getting
get
understanding.
8 4:8
Exalt
her,
and
she
will
promote
thee;
She
will
bring
thee
to
honor,
when
thou
dost
embrace
her.
9 4:9
She
will
give
to
thy
head
a chaplet
of
grace;
A
crown
of
beauty
will
she
deliver
to
thee.
10 4:10
Hear,
O
my
son,
and
receive
my
sayings;
And
the
years
of
thy
life
shall
be
many.
11 4:11
I
have
taught
thee
in
the
way
of
wisdom;
I
have
led
thee
in
paths
of
uprightness.
12 4:12
When
thou
goest,
thy
steps
shall
not
be
straitened;
And
if
thou
runnest,
thou shalt
not
stumble.
13 4:13
Take
fast
hold
of
instruction;
let
her
not
go:
Keep
her;
for
she
is
thy
life.
14 4:14
Enter
not
into
the
path
of
the
wicked,
And
walk
not
in
the
way
of
evil
men.
15 4:15
Avoid
it,
pass
not
by
it;
Turn
from
it,
and
pass
on.
16 4:16
For
they
sleep
not,
except
they
do
evil;
And
their
sleep
is
taken
away,
unless
they
cause
some
to
fall.
17 4:17
For
they
eat
the
bread
of
wickedness,
And
drink
the
wine
of
violence.
18 4:18
But
the
path
of
the
righteous
is
as
the
dawning
light,
That
shineth
more
and
more
unto
the
perfect
day.
19 4:19
The
way
of
the
wicked
is
as
darkness:
They
know
not
at
what
they
stumble.
20 4:20
My
son,
attend
to
my
words;
Incline
thine
ear
unto
my
sayings.
21 4:21
Let
them
not
depart
from
thine
eyes;
Keep
them
in
the
midst
of
thy
heart.
22 4:22
For
they
are
life
unto
those
that
find
them,
And
health
to
all
their
flesh.
23 4:23
Keep
thy
heart
with
all
diligence;
For
out
of
it
are
the
issues
of
life.
24 4:24
Put
away
from
thee
a
wayward
mouth,
And
perverse
lips
put
far
from
thee.
25 4:25
Let
thine
eyes
look
right
on,
And
let
thine
eyelids
look
straight
before
thee.
26 4:26
Make
level
the
path
of
thy
feet,
And
let
all
thy
ways
be
established.
27 4:27
Turn
not
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left:
Remove
thy
foot
from
evil.
51 5:1
My
son,
attend
unto
my
wisdom;
Incline
thine
ear
to
my
understanding:
2 5:2
That
thou
mayest
preserve
discretion,
And
that
thy
lips
may
keep
knowledge.
3 5:3
For
the
lips
of
a
strange
woman
drop
honey,
And
her
mouth
is
smoother
than
oil:
4 5:4
But
in
the
end
she
is
bitter
as
wormwood,
Sharp
as
a
two-edged
sword.
5 5:5
Her
feet
go
down
to
death;
Her
steps
take
hold
on
Sheol;
6 5:6
So
that
she
findeth
not
the
level
path
of
life:
Her
ways
are
unstable,
and
she
knoweth
it
not.
7 5:7
Now
therefore,
my
sons,
hearken
unto
me,
And
depart
not
from
the
words
of
my
mouth.
8 5:8
Remove
thy
way
far
from
her,
And
come
not
nigh
the
door
of
her
house;
9 5:9
Lest
thou
give
thine
honor
unto
others,
And
thy
years
unto
the
cruel;
10 5:10
Lest
strangers
be
filled
with
thy
strength,
And
thy
labors
be
in
the
house
of
an
alien,
11 5:11
And
thou
mourn
at
thy
latter
end,
When
thy
flesh
and
thy
body
are
consumed,
12 5:12
And
say,
How
have
I
hated
instruction,
And
my
heart
despised
reproof;
13 5:13
Neither
have
I
obeyed
the
voice
of
my
teachers,
Nor
inclined
mine
ear
to
them
that
instructed
me!
14 5:14
I
was well-nigh
in
all
evil
In
the
midst
of
the
assembly
and
congregation.
15 5:15
Drink
waters
out
of
thine
own
cistern,
And
running
waters
out
of
thine
own
well.
16 5:16
Should
thy
springs
be
dispersed
abroad,
And
streams
of
water
in
the
streets?
17 5:17
Let
them
be
for
thyself
alone,
And
not
for
strangers
with
thee.
18 5:18
Let
thy
fountain
be
blessed;
And
rejoice
in
the
wife
of
thy
youth.
19 5:19
As
a
loving
hind
and
a
pleasant
doe,
Let
her
breasts
satisfy
thee
at
all
times;
And
be
thou
ravished
always
with
her
love.
20 5:20
For
why shouldest
thou,
my
son,
be
ravished
with
a
strange
woman,
And
embrace
the
bosom
of
a
foreigner?
21 5:21
For
the
ways
of
man
are
before
the
eyes
of
Jehovah;
And
he
maketh
level
all
his
paths.
22 5:22
His
own
iniquities
shall
take
the
wicked,
And
he
shall
be
holden
with
the
cords
of
his
sin.
23 5:23
He
shall
die
for
lack
of
instruction;
And
in
the
greatness
of
his
folly
he
shall
go
astray.
61 6:1
My
son,
if
thou
art
become
surety
for
thy
neighbor,
If
thou
hast
stricken
thy
hands
for
a
stranger;
2 6:2
Thou
art
snared
with
the
words
of
thy
mouth,
Thou
art
taken
with
the
words
of
thy
mouth.
3 6:3
Do
this
now,
my
son,
and
deliver
thyself,
Seeing
thou
art
come
into
the
hand
of
thy
neighbor:
Go,
humble
thyself,
and
importune
thy
neighbor;
4 6:4
Give
not
sleep
to
thine
eyes,
Nor
slumber
to
thine
eyelids;
5 6:5
Deliver
thyself
as
a
roe
from
the
hand
of
the
hunter,
And
as
a
bird
from
the
hand
of
the
fowler.
6 6:6
Go
to
the
ant,
thou
sluggard;
Consider
her
ways,
and
be
wise:
7 6:7
Which
having
no
chief,
Overseer,
or
ruler,
8 6:8
Provideth
her
bread
in
the
summer,
And
gathereth
her
food
in
the
harvest.
9 6:9
How
long
wilt
thou
sleep,
O
sluggard?
When
wilt
thou
arise
out
of
thy
sleep?
10 6:10
Yet
a
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
A
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleep:
11 6:11
So
shall
thy
poverty
come
as
a
robber,
And
thy
want
as
an
armed
man.
12 6:12
A
worthless
person,
a
man
of
iniquity,
Is
he
that
walketh
with
a
perverse
mouth;
13 6:13
That
winketh
with
his
eyes,
that
speaketh
with
his
feet,
That
maketh
signs
with
his
fingers;
14 6:14
In
whose
heart
is
perverseness,
Who
deviseth
evil
continually,
Who
soweth
discord.
15 6:15
Therefore
shall
his
calamity
come
suddenly;
On
a
sudden
shall
he
be
broken,
and
that
without
remedy.
16 6:16
There
are
six
things
which
Jehovah
hateth;
Yea,
seven
which
are
an
abomination
unto
him:
17 6:17
Haughty
eyes,
a
lying
tongue,
And
hands
that
shed
innocent
blood;
18 6:18
A
heart
that
deviseth
wicked
purposes,
Feet
that
are
swift
in
running
to
mischief,
19 6:19
A
false
witness
that
uttereth
lies,
And
he
that
soweth
discord
among
brethren.
20 6:20
My
son,
keep
the
commandment
of
thy
father,
And
forsake
not
the
law
of
thy
mother:
21 6:21
Bind
them
continually
upon
thy
heart;
Tie
them
about
thy
neck.
22 6:22
When
thou
walkest,
it
shall
lead
thee;
When
thou
sleepest,
it
shall
watch
over
thee;
And
when
thou
awakest,
it
shall
talk
with
thee.
23 6:23
For
the
commandment
is
a
lamp;
and
the
law
is
light;
And
reproofs
of
instruction
are
the
way
of
life:
24 6:24
To
keep
thee
from
the
evil
woman,
From
the
flattery
of
the foreigner’s
tongue.
25 6:25
Lust
not
after
her
beauty
in
thy
heart;
Neither
let
her
take
thee
with
her
eyelids.
26 6:26
For
on
account
of
a
harlot
a
man
is
brought
to
a
piece
of
bread;
And
the
adulteress
hunteth
for
the
precious
life.
27 6:27
Can
a
man
take
fire
in
his
bosom,
And
his
clothes
not
be
burned?
28 6:28
Or
can
one
walk
upon
hot
coals,
And
his
feet
not
be
scorched?
29 6:29
So
he
that
goeth
in
to
his
neighbor’s
wife;
Whosoever
toucheth
her
shall
not
be
unpunished.
30 6:30
Men
do
not
despise
a
thief,
if
he
steal
To
satisfy
himself
when
he
is
hungry:
31 6:31
But
if
he
be
found,
he
shall
restore
sevenfold;
He
shall
give
all
the
substance
of
his
house.
32 6:32
He
that
committeth
adultery
with
a
woman
is
void
of
understanding:
He
doeth
it
who
would
destroy
his
own
soul.
33 6:33
Wounds
and
dishonor
shall
he
get;
And
his
reproach
shall
not
be
wiped
away.
34 6:34
For
jealousy
is
the
rage
of
a
man;
And
he
will
not
spare
in
the
day
of
vengeance.
35 6:35
He
will
not
regard
any
ransom;
Neither
will
he
rest
content,
though
thou
givest
many
gifts.
71 7:1
My
son,
keep
my
words,
And
lay
up
my
commandments
with
thee.
2 7:2
Keep
my
commandments
and
live;
And
my
law
as
the
apple
of
thine
eye.
3 7:3
Bind
them
upon
thy
fingers;
Write
them
upon
the
tablet
of
thy
heart.
4 7:4
Say
unto
wisdom,
Thou
art
my
sister;
And
call
understanding
thy
kinswoman:
5 7:5
That
they
may
keep
thee
from
the
strange
woman,
From
the
foreigner
that
flattereth
with
her
words.
6 7:6
For
at
the
window
of
my
house
I
looked
forth
through
my
lattice;
7 7:7
And
I
beheld
among
the
simple
ones,
I
discerned
among
the
youths,
A
young
man
void
of
understanding,
8 7:8
Passing
through
the
street
near
her
corner;
And
he
went
the
way
to
her
house,
9 7:9
In
the
twilight,
in
the
evening
of
the
day,
In
the
middle
of
the
night
and
in
the
darkness.
10 7:10
And,
behold,
there
met
him
a
woman
With
the
attire
of
a
harlot,
and wily
of
heart.
11 7:11(She
is
clamorous
and wilful;
Her
feet
abide
not
in
her
house:
12 7:12
Now
she
is
in
the
streets,
now
in
the
broad
places,
And
lieth
in
wait
at
every
corner.)
13 7:13
So
she
caught
him,
and
kissed
him,
And
with
an
impudent
face
she
said
unto
him:
14 7:14
Sacrifices
of peace-offerings
are
with
me;
This
day
have
I
paid
my
vows.
15 7:15
Therefore
came
I
forth
to
meet
thee,
Diligently
to
seek
thy
face,
and
I
have
found
thee.
16 7:16
I
have
spread
my
couch
with
carpets
of
tapestry,
With
striped
cloths
of
the
yarn
of
Egypt.
17 7:17
I
have
perfumed
my
bed
With
myrrh,
aloes,
and
cinnamon.
18 7:18
Come,
let
us
take
our
fill
of
love
until
the
morning;
Let
us
solace
ourselves
with
loves.
19 7:19
For
the
man
is
not
at
home;
He
is
gone
a
long
journey:
20 7:20
He
hath
taken
a
bag
of
money
with
him;
He
will
come
home
at
the
full
moon.
21 7:21
With
her
much
fair
speech
she
causeth
him
to
yield;
With
the
flattering
of
her
lips
she forceth
him
along.
22 7:22
He
goeth
after
her
straightway,
As
an
ox
goeth
to
the
slaughter,
Or
as
one
in
fetters
to
the
correction
of
the
fool;
23 7:23
Till
an
arrow
strike
through
his
liver;
As
a
bird
hasteth
to
the
snare,
And
knoweth
not
that
it
is
for
his
life.
24 7:24
Now
therefore,
my
sons,
hearken
unto
me,
And
attend
to
the
words
of
my
mouth.
25 7:25
Let
not
thy
heart
decline
to
her
ways;
Go
not
astray
in
her
paths.
26 7:26
For
she
hath
cast
down
many
wounded:
Yea,
all
her
slain
are
a
mighty
host.
27 7:27
Her
house
is
the
way
to
Sheol,
Going
down
to
the
chambers
of
death.
81 8:1
Doth
not
wisdom
cry,
And
understanding
put
forth
her
voice?
2 8:2
On
the
top
of
high
places
by
the
way,
Where
the
paths
meet,
she
standeth;
3 8:3
Beside
the
gates,
at
the
entry
of
the
city,
At
the
coming
in
at
the
doors,
she
crieth
aloud:
4 8:4
Unto
you,
O
men,
I
call;
And
my
voice
is
to
the
sons
of
men.
5 8:5
O
ye
simple,
understand
prudence;
And,
ye
fools,
be
of
an
understanding
heart.
6 8:6
Hear,
for
I
will
speak
excellent
things;
And
the
opening
of
my
lips
shall
be
right
things.
7 8:7
For
my
mouth
shall
utter
truth;
And
wickedness
is
an
abomination
to
my
lips.
8 8:8
All
the
words
of
my
mouth
are
in
righteousness;
There
is
nothing
crooked
or
perverse
in
them.
9 8:9
They
are
all
plain
to
him
that
understandeth,
And
right
to
them
that
find
knowledge.
10 8:10
Receive
my
instruction,
and
not
silver;
And
knowledge
rather
than
choice
gold.
11 8:11
For
wisdom
is
better
than
rubies;
And
all
the
things
that
may
be
desired
are
not
to
be
compared
unto
it.
12 8:12
I
wisdom
have
made
prudence
my
dwelling,
And
find
out
knowledge
and
discretion.
13 8:13
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
to
hate
evil:
Pride,
and
arrogancy,
and
the
evil
way,
And
the
perverse
mouth,
do
I
hate.
14 8:14
Counsel
is
mine,
and
sound
knowledge:
I
am
understanding;
I
have
might.
15 8:15
By
me
kings
reign,
And
princes
decree
justice.
16 8:16
By
me
princes
rule,
And
nobles,
even
all
the
judges
of
the
earth.
17 8:17
I
love
them
that
love
me;
And
those
that
seek
me
diligently
shall
find
me.
18 8:18
Riches
and
honor
are
with
me;
Yea,
durable
wealth
and
righteousness.
19 8:19
My
fruit
is
better
than
gold,
yea,
than
fine
gold;
And
my
revenue
than
choice
silver.
20 8:20
I
walk
in
the
way
of
righteousness,
In
the
midst
of
the
paths
of
justice;
21 8:21
That
I
may
cause
those
that
love
me
to
inherit
substance,
And
that
I
may
fill
their
treasuries.
22 8:22
Jehovah
possessed
me
in
the
beginning
of
his
way,
Before
his
works
of
old.
23 8:23
I
was
set
up
from
everlasting,
from
the
beginning,
Before
the
earth
was.
24 8:24
When
there
were
no
depths,
I
was
brought
forth,
When
there
were
no
fountains
abounding
with
water.
25 8:25
Before
the
mountains
were
settled,
Before
the
hills
was
I
brought
forth;
26 8:26
While
as
yet
he
had
not
made
the
earth,
nor
the
fields,
Nor
the
beginning
of
the
dust
of
the
world.
27 8:27
When
he
established
the
heavens,
I
was
there:
When
he
set
a
circle
upon
the
face
of
the
deep,
28 8:28
When
he
made
firm
the
skies
above,
When
the
fountains
of
the
deep
became
strong,
29 8:29
When
he
gave
to
the
sea
its
bound,
That
the
waters
should
not
transgress
his
commandment,
When
he
marked
out
the
foundations
of
the
earth;
30 8:30
Then
I
was
by
him,
as
a
master
workman;
And
I
was
daily
his
delight,
Rejoicing
always
before
him,
31 8:31
Rejoicing
in
his habitable
earth;
And
my
delight
was
with
the
sons
of
men.
32 8:32
Now
therefore,
my
sons,
hearken
unto
me;
For
blessed
are
they
that
keep
my
ways.
33 8:33
Hear
instruction,
and
be
wise,
And
refuse
it
not.
34 8:34
Blessed
is
the
man
that
heareth
me,
Watching
daily
at
my
gates,
Waiting
at
the
posts
of
my
doors.
35 8:35
For
whoso
findeth
me
findeth
life,
And
shall
obtain
favor
of
Jehovah.
36 8:36
But
he
that
sinneth
against
me
wrongeth
his
own
soul:
All
they
that
hate
me
love
death.
91 9:1
Wisdom
hath
builded
her
house;
She
hath
hewn
out
her
seven
pillars:
2 9:2
She
hath
killed
her
beasts;
she
hath
mingled
her
wine;
She
hath
also
furnished
her
table:
3 9:3
She
hath
sent
forth
her
maidens;
She
crieth
upon
the
highest
places
of
the
city:
4 9:4
Whoso
is
simple,
let
him
turn
in
hither:
As
for
him
that
is
void
of
understanding,
she
saith
to
him,
5 9:5
Come,
eat
ye
of
my
bread,
And
drink
of
the
wine
which
I
have
mingled.
6 9:6
Leave
off,
ye
simple
ones,
and
live;
And
walk
in
the
way
of
understanding.
7 9:7
He
that
correcteth
a
scoffer
getteth
to
himself
reviling;
And
he
that
reproveth
a
wicked
man
getteth
himself
a
blot.
8 9:8
Reprove
not
a
scoffer,
lest
he
hate
thee:
Reprove
a
wise
man,
and
he
will
love
thee.
9 9:9
Give
instruction
to
a
wise
man,
and
he
will
be
yet
wiser:
Teach
a
righteous
man,
and
he
will
increase
in
learning.
10 9:10
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
beginning
of
wisdom;
And
the
knowledge
of
the
Holy
One
is
understanding.
11 9:11
For
by
me
thy
days
shall
be
multiplied,
And
the
years
of
thy
life
shall
be
increased.
12 9:12
If
thou
art
wise,
thou
art
wise
for
thyself;
And
if
thou scoffest,
thou
alone shalt
bear
it.
13 9:13
The
foolish
woman
is
clamorous;
She
is
simple,
and
knoweth
nothing.
14 9:14
And
she
sitteth
at
the
door
of
her
house,
On
a
seat
in
the
high
places
of
the
city,
15 9:15
To
call
to
them
that
pass
by,
Who
go
right
on
their
ways:
16 9:16
Whoso
is
simple,
let
him
turn
in
hither;
And
as
for
him
that
is
void
of
understanding,
she
saith
to
him,
17 9:17
Stolen
waters
are
sweet,
And
bread
eaten
in
secret
is
pleasant.
18 9:18
But
he
knoweth
not
that
the
dead
are
there;
That
her
guests
are
in
the
depths
of
Sheol.
101 10:1
The
proverbs
of
Solomon.
A
wise
son
maketh
a
glad
father;
But
a
foolish
son
is
the
heaviness
of
his
mother.
2 10:2
Treasures
of
wickedness
profit
nothing;
But
righteousness
delivereth
from
death.
3 10:3
Jehovah
will
not
suffer
the
soul
of
the
righteous
to
famish;
But
he thrusteth
away
the
desire
of
the
wicked.
4 10:4
He
becometh
poor
that
worketh
with
a
slack
hand;
But
the
hand
of
the
diligent
maketh
rich.
5 10:5
He
that
gathereth
in
summer
is
a
wise
son;
But
he
that
sleepeth
in
harvest
is
a
son
that
causeth
shame.
6 10:6
Blessings
are
upon
the
head
of
the
righteous;
But
violence
covereth
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
7 10:7
The
memory
of
the
righteous
is
blessed;
But
the
name
of
the
wicked
shall
rot.
8 10:8
The
wise
in
heart
will
receive
commandments;
But
a
prating
fool
shall
fall.
9 10:9
He
that
walketh
uprightly
walketh
surely;
But
he
that
perverteth
his
ways
shall
be
known.
10 10:10
He
that
winketh
with
the
eye
causeth
sorrow;
But
a
prating
fool
shall
fall.
11 10:11
The
mouth
of
the
righteous
is
a
fountain
of
life;
But
violence
covereth
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
12 10:12
Hatred
stirreth
up
strifes;
But
love
covereth
all
transgressions.
13 10:13
In
the
lips
of
him
that
hath
discernment
wisdom
is
found;
But
a
rod
is
for
the
back
of
him
that
is
void
of
understanding.
14 10:14
Wise
men
lay
up
knowledge;
But
the
mouth
of
the
foolish
is
a
present
destruction.
15 10:15
The
rich
man’s
wealth
is
his
strong
city:
The
destruction
of
the
poor
is
their
poverty.
16 10:16
The
labor
of
the
righteous
tendeth
to
life;
The
increase
of
the
wicked,
to
sin.
17 10:17
He
is
in
the
way
of
life
that heedeth
correction;
But
he
that
forsaketh
reproof
erreth.
18 10:18
He
that
hideth
hatred
is
of
lying
lips;
And
he
that
uttereth
a
slander
is
a
fool.
19 10:19
In
the
multitude
of
words
there
wanteth
not
transgression;
But
he
that
refraineth
his
lips
doeth
wisely.
20 10:20
The
tongue
of
the
righteous
is
as
choice
silver:
The
heart
of
the
wicked
is
little
worth.
21 10:21
The
lips
of
the
righteous
feed
many;
But
the
foolish
die
for
lack
of
understanding.
22 10:22
The
blessing
of
Jehovah,
it
maketh
rich;
And
he
addeth
no
sorrow
therewith.
23 10:23
It
is
as
sport
to
a
fool
to
do
wickedness;
And
so
is
wisdom
to
a
man
of
understanding.
24 10:24
The
fear
of
the
wicked,
it
shall
come
upon
him;
And
the
desire
of
the
righteous
shall
be
granted.
25 10:25
When
the
whirlwind
passeth,
the
wicked
is
no
more;
But
the
righteous
is
an
everlasting
foundation.
26 10:26
As
vinegar
to
the
teeth,
and
as
smoke
to
the
eyes,
So
is
the
sluggard
to
them
that
send
him.
27 10:27
The
fear
of
Jehovah
prolongeth
days;
But
the
years
of
the
wicked
shall
be
shortened.
28 10:28
The
hope
of
the
righteous
shall
be
gladness;
But
the
expectation
of
the
wicked
shall
perish.
29 10:29
The
way
of
Jehovah
is
a
stronghold
to
the
upright;
But
it
is
a
destruction
to
the
workers
of
iniquity.
30 10:30
The
righteous
shall
never
be
removed;
But
the
wicked
shall
not
dwell
in
the
land.
31 10:31
The
mouth
of
the
righteous
bringeth
forth
wisdom;
But
the
perverse
tongue
shall
be
cut
off.
32 10:32
The
lips
of
the
righteous
know
what
is
acceptable;
But
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
speaketh
perverseness.
111 11:1
A
false
balance
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
a
just
weight
is
his
delight.
2 11:2
When
pride
cometh,
then
cometh
shame;
But
with
the
lowly
is
wisdom.
3 11:3
The
integrity
of
the
upright
shall
guide
them;
But
the
perverseness
of
the
treacherous
shall
destroy
them.
4 11:4
Riches
profit
not
in
the
day
of
wrath;
But
righteousness
delivereth
from
death.
5 11:5
The
righteousness
of
the
perfect
shall
direct
his
way;
But
the
wicked
shall
fall
by
his
own
wickedness.
6 11:6
The
righteousness
of
the
upright
shall
deliver
them;
But
the
treacherous
shall
be
taken
in
their
own
iniquity.
7 11:7
When
a
wicked
man
dieth,
his
expectation
shall
perish;
And
the
hope
of
iniquity
perisheth.
8 11:8
The
righteous
is
delivered
out
of
trouble;
And
the
wicked
cometh
in
his
stead.
9 11:9
With
his
mouth
the
godless
man
destroyeth
his
neighbor;
But
through
knowledge
shall
the
righteous
be
delivered.
10 11:10
When
it
goeth
well
with
the
righteous,
the
city
rejoiceth;
And
when
the
wicked
perish,
there
is
shouting.
11 11:11
By
the
blessing
of
the
upright
the
city
is
exalted;
But
it
is
overthrown
by
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
12 11:12
He
that
despiseth
his
neighbor
is
void
of
wisdom;
But
a
man
of
understanding
holdeth
his
peace.
13 11:13
He
that
goeth
about
as
a tale-bearer
revealeth
secrets;
But
he
that
is
of
a
faithful
spirit
concealeth
a
matter.
14 11:14
Where
no
wise
guidance
is,
the
people
falleth;
But
in
the
multitude
of
counsellors
there
is
safety.
15 11:15
He
that
is
surety
for
a
stranger
shall
smart
for
it;
But
he
that
hateth suretyship
is
secure.
16 11:16
A
gracious
woman
obtaineth
honor;
And
violent
men
obtain
riches.
17 11:17
The
merciful
man
doeth
good
to
his
own
soul;
But
he
that
is
cruel
troubleth
his
own
flesh.
18 11:18
The
wicked
earneth
deceitful
wages;
But
he
that
soweth
righteousness
hath
a
sure
reward.
19 11:19
He
that
is
stedfast
in
righteousness
shall
attain
unto
life;
And
he
that
pursueth
evil
doeth
it
to
his
own
death.
20 11:20
They
that
are
perverse
in
heart
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
such
as
are
perfect
in
their
way
are
his
delight.
21 11:21
Though
hand
join
in
hand,
the
evil
man
shall
not
be
unpunished;
But
the
seed
of
the
righteous
shall
be
delivered.
22 11:22
As
a
ring
of
gold
in
a
swine’s
snout,
So
is
a
fair
woman
that
is
without
discretion.
23 11:23
The
desire
of
the
righteous
is
only
good;
But
the
expectation
of
the
wicked
is
wrath.
24 11:24
There
is
that
scattereth,
and
increaseth
yet
more;
And
there
is
that
withholdeth
more
than
is
meet,
but
it tendeth
only
to
want.
25 11:25
The
liberal
soul
shall
be
made
fat;
And
he
that
watereth
shall
be
watered
also
himself.
26 11:26
He
that
withholdeth
grain,
the
people
shall
curse
him;
But
blessing
shall
be
upon
the
head
of
him
that
selleth
it.
27 11:27
He
that
diligently
seeketh
good
seeketh
favor;
But
he
that
searcheth
after
evil,
it
shall
come
unto
him.
28 11:28
He
that
trusteth
in
his
riches
shall
fall;
But
the
righteous
shall
flourish
as
the
green
leaf.
29 11:29
He
that
troubleth
his
own
house
shall
inherit
the
wind;
And
the
foolish
shall
be
servant
to
the
wise
of
heart.
30 11:30
The
fruit
of
the
righteous
is
a
tree
of
life;
And
he
that
is
wise
winneth
souls.
31 11:31
Behold,
the
righteous
shall
be
recompensed
in
the
earth;
How
much
more
the
wicked
and
the
sinner!
121 12:1
Whoso
loveth
correction
loveth
knowledge;
But
he
that
hateth
reproof
is
brutish.
2 12:2
A
good
man
shall
obtain
favor
of
Jehovah;
But
a
man
of
wicked
devices
will
he
condemn.
3 12:3
A
man
shall
not
be
established
by
wickedness;
But
the
root
of
the
righteous
shall
not
be
moved.
4 12:4
A
worthy
woman
is
the
crown
of
her
husband;
But
she
that
maketh
ashamed
is
as
rottenness
in
his
bones.
5 12:5
The
thoughts
of
the
righteous
are
just;
But
the
counsels
of
the
wicked
are
deceit.
6 12:6
The
words
of
the
wicked
are
of
lying
in
wait
for
blood;
But
the
mouth
of
the
upright
shall
deliver
them.
7 12:7
The
wicked
are
overthrown,
and
are
not;
But
the
house
of
the
righteous
shall
stand.
8 12:8
A
man
shall
be
commended
according
to
his
wisdom;
But
he
that
is
of
a
perverse
heart
shall
be
despised.
9 12:9
Better
is
he
that
is
lightly
esteemed,
and
hath
a
servant,
Than
he
that honoreth
himself,
and
lacketh
bread.
10 12:10
A
righteous
man
regardeth
the
life
of
his
beast;
But
the
tender
mercies
of
the
wicked
are
cruel.
11 12:11
He
that
tilleth
his
land
shall
have
plenty
of
bread;
But
he
that
followeth
after
vain
persons
is
void
of
understanding.
12 12:12
The
wicked
desireth
the
net
of
evil
men;
But
the
root
of
the
righteous
yieldeth
fruit.
13 12:13
In
the
transgression
of
the
lips
is
a
snare
to
the
evil
man;
But
the
righteous
shall
come
out
of
trouble.
14 12:14
A
man
shall
be
satisfied
with
good
by
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
And
the
doings
of
a
man’s
hands
shall
be
rendered
unto
him.
15 12:15
The
way
of
a
fool
is
right
in
his
own
eyes;
But
he
that
is
wise
hearkeneth
unto
counsel.
16 12:16
A
fool’s
vexation
is
presently
known;
But
a
prudent
man
concealeth
shame.
17 12:17
He
that
uttereth
truth showeth
forth
righteousness;
But
a
false
witness,
deceit.
18 12:18
There
is
that
speaketh
rashly
like
the
piercings
of
a
sword;
But
the
tongue
of
the
wise
is
health.
19 12:19
The
lip
of
truth
shall
be
established
for
ever;
But
a
lying
tongue
is
but
for
a
moment.
20 12:20
Deceit
is
in
the
heart
of
them
that
devise
evil;
But
to
the
counsellors
of
peace
is
joy.
21 12:21
There
shall
no
mischief
happen
to
the
righteous;
But
the
wicked
shall
be
filled
with
evil.
22 12:22
Lying
lips
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
they
that
deal
truly
are
his
delight.
23 12:23
A
prudent
man
concealeth
knowledge;
But
the
heart
of
fools
proclaimeth
foolishness.
24 12:24
The
hand
of
the
diligent
shall
bear
rule;
But
the
slothful
shall
be
put
under taskwork.
25 12:25
Heaviness
in
the
heart
of
a
man
maketh
it
stoop;
But
a
good
word
maketh
it
glad.
26 12:26
The
righteous
is
a
guide
to
his
neighbor;
But
the
way
of
the
wicked
causeth
them
to
err.
27 12:27
The
slothful
man
roasteth
not
that
which
he
took
in
hunting;
But
the
precious
substance
of
men
is
to
the
diligent.
28 12:28
In
the
way
of
righteousness
is
life;
And
in
the
pathway
thereof
there
is
no
death.
131 13:1
A
wise
son
heareth
his
father’s
instruction;
But
a
scoffer
heareth
not
rebuke.
2 13:2
A
man
shall
eat
good
by
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
But
the
soul
of
the
treacherous
shall
eat
violence.
3 13:3
He
that guardeth
his
mouth
keepeth
his
life;
But
he
that
openeth
wide
his
lips
shall
have
destruction.
4 13:4
The
soul
of
the
sluggard
desireth,
and
hath
nothing;
But
the
soul
of
the
diligent
shall
be
made
fat.
5 13:5
A
righteous
man
hateth
lying;
But
a
wicked
man
is
loathsome,
and
cometh
to
shame.
6 13:6
Righteousness guardeth
him
that
is
upright
in
the
way;
But
wickedness
overthroweth
the
sinner.
7 13:7
There
is
that
maketh
himself
rich,
yet
hath
nothing:
There
is
that
maketh
himself
poor,
yet
hath
great
wealth.
8 13:8
The
ransom
of
a
man’s
life
is
his
riches;
But
the
poor
heareth
no threatening.
9 13:9
The
light
of
the
righteous
rejoiceth;
But
the
lamp
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
10 13:10
By
pride
cometh
only
contention;
But
with
the well-advised
is
wisdom.
11 13:11
Wealth
gotten
by
vanity
shall
be
diminished;
But
he
that
gathereth
by
labor
shall
have
increase.
12 13:12
Hope
deferred
maketh
the
heart
sick;
But
when
the
desire
cometh,
it
is
a
tree
of
life.
13 13:13
Whoso
despiseth
the
word
bringeth
destruction
on
himself;
But
he
that
feareth
the
commandment
shall
be
rewarded.
14 13:14
The
law
of
the
wise
is
a
fountain
of
life,
That
one
may
depart
from
the
snares
of
death.
15 13:15
Good
understanding
giveth
favor;
But
the
way
of
the
transgressor
is
hard.
16 13:16
Every
prudent
man
worketh
with
knowledge;
But
a
fool flaunteth
his
folly.
17 13:17
A
wicked
messenger
falleth
into
evil;
But
a
faithful
ambassador
is
health.
18 13:18
Poverty
and
shame
shall
be
to
him
that
refuseth
correction;
But
he
that
regardeth
reproof
shall
be
honored.
19 13:19
The
desire
accomplished
is
sweet
to
the
soul;
But
it
is
an
abomination
to
fools
to
depart
from
evil.
20 13:20
Walk
with
wise
men,
and
thou shalt
be
wise;
But
the
companion
of
fools
shall
smart
for
it.
21 13:21
Evil
pursueth
sinners;
But
the
righteous
shall
be
recompensed
with
good.
22 13:22
A
good
man
leaveth
an
inheritance
to
his
children’s
children;
And
the
wealth
of
the
sinner
is
laid
up
for
the
righteous.
23 13:23
Much
food
is
in
the
tillage
of
the
poor;
But
there
is
that
is
destroyed
by
reason
of
injustice.
24 13:24
He
that
spareth
his
rod
hateth
his
son;
But
he
that
loveth
him
chasteneth
him
betimes.
25 13:25
The
righteous
eateth
to
the
satisfying
of
his
soul;
But
the
belly
of
the
wicked
shall
want.
141 14:1
Every
wise
woman
buildeth
her
house;
But
the
foolish plucketh
it
down
with
her
own
hands.
2 14:2
He
that
walketh
in
his
uprightness
feareth
Jehovah;
But
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways
despiseth
him.
3 14:3
In
the
mouth
of
the
foolish
is
a
rod
for
his
pride;
But
the
lips
of
the
wise
shall
preserve
them.
4 14:4
Where
no
oxen
are,
the
crib
is
clean;
But
much
increase
is
by
the
strength
of
the
ox.
5 14:5
A
faithful
witness
will
not
lie;
But
a
false
witness
uttereth
lies.
6 14:6
A
scoffer
seeketh
wisdom,
and
findeth
it
not;
But
knowledge
is
easy
unto
him
that
hath
understanding.
7 14:7
Go
into
the
presence
of
a
foolish
man,
And
thou shalt
not
perceive
in
him
the
lips
of
knowledge.
8 14:8
The
wisdom
of
the
prudent
is
to
understand
his
way;
But
the
folly
of
fools
is
deceit.
9 14:9
A trespass-offering
mocketh
fools;
But
among
the
upright
there
is
good
will.
10 14:10
The
heart
knoweth
its
own
bitterness;
And
a
stranger
doth
not
intermeddle
with
its
joy.
11 14:11
The
house
of
the
wicked
shall
be
overthrown;
But
the
tent
of
the
upright
shall
flourish.
12 14:12
There
is
a
way
which
seemeth
right
unto
a
man;
But
the
end
thereof
are
the
ways
of
death.
13 14:13
Even
in
laughter
the
heart
is
sorrowful;
And
the
end
of
mirth
is
heaviness.
14 14:14
The
backslider
in
heart
shall
be
filled
with
his
own
ways;
And
a
good
man
shall
be
satisfied
from
himself.
15 14:15
The
simple
believeth
every
word;
But
the
prudent
man
looketh
well
to
his
going.
16 14:16
A
wise
man
feareth,
and
departeth
from
evil;
But
the
fool
beareth
himself insolently,
and
is
confident.
17 14:17
He
that
is
soon
angry
will
deal
foolishly;
And
a
man
of
wicked
devices
is
hated.
18 14:18
The
simple
inherit
folly;
But
the
prudent
are
crowned
with
knowledge.
19 14:19
The
evil
bow
down
before
the
good;
And
the
wicked,
at
the
gates
of
the
righteous.
20 14:20
The
poor
is
hated
even
of
his
own
neighbor;
But
the
rich
hath
many
friends.
21 14:21
He
that
despiseth
his
neighbor
sinneth;
But
he
that
hath
pity
on
the
poor,
happy
is
he.
22 14:22
Do
they
not
err
that
devise
evil?
But
mercy
and
truth
shall
be
to
them
that
devise
good.
23 14:23
In
all
labor
there
is
profit;
But
the
talk
of
the
lips
tendeth
only
to
penury.
24 14:24
The
crown
of
the
wise
is
their
riches;
But
the
folly
of
fools
is
only
folly.
25 14:25
A
true
witness
delivereth
souls;
But
he
that
uttereth
lies
causeth
deceit.
26 14:26
In
the
fear
of
Jehovah
is
strong
confidence;
And
his
children
shall
have
a
place
of
refuge.
27 14:27
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
a
fountain
of
life,
That
one
may
depart
from
the
snares
of
death.
28 14:28
In
the
multitude
of
people
is
the
king’s
glory;
But
in
the
want
of
people
is
the
destruction
of
the
prince.
29 14:29
He
that
is
slow
to
anger
is
of
great
understanding;
But
he
that
is
hasty
of
spirit
exalteth
folly.
30 14:30
A
tranquil
heart
is
the
life
of
the
flesh;
But
envy
is
the
rottenness
of
the
bones.
31 14:31
He
that
oppresseth
the
poor
reproacheth
his
Maker;
But
he
that
hath
mercy
on
the
needy honoreth
him.
32 14:32
The
wicked
is
thrust
down
in
his evil-doing;
But
the
righteous
hath
a
refuge
in
his
death.
33 14:33
Wisdom
resteth
in
the
heart
of
him
that
hath
understanding;
But
that
which
is
in
the
inward
part
of
fools
is
made
known.
34 14:34
Righteousness
exalteth
a
nation;
But
sin
is
a
reproach
to
any
people.
35 14:35
The
king’s
favor
is
toward
a
servant
that
dealeth
wisely;
But
his
wrath
will
be
against
him
that
causeth
shame.
151 15:1
A
soft
answer
turneth
away
wrath;
But
a
grievous
word
stirreth
up
anger.
2 15:2
The
tongue
of
the
wise
uttereth
knowledge
aright;
But
the
mouth
of
fools
poureth
out
folly.
3 15:3
The
eyes
of
Jehovah
are
in
every
place,
Keeping
watch
upon
the
evil
and
the
good.
4 15:4
A
gentle
tongue
is
a
tree
of
life;
But
perverseness
therein
is
a
breaking
of
the
spirit.
5 15:5
A
fool
despiseth
his
father’s
correction;
But
he
that
regardeth
reproof
getteth
prudence.
6 15:6
In
the
house
of
the
righteous
is
much
treasure;
But
in
the
revenues
of
the
wicked
is
trouble.
7 15:7
The
lips
of
the
wise
disperse
knowledge;
But
the
heart
of
the
foolish
doeth
not
so.
8 15:8
The
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
the
prayer
of
the
upright
is
his
delight.
9 15:9
The
way
of
the
wicked
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
he
loveth
him
that
followeth
after
righteousness.
10 15:10
There
is
grievous
correction
for
him
that
forsaketh
the
way;
And
he
that
hateth
reproof
shall
die.
11 15:11
Sheol
and
Abaddon
are
before
Jehovah;
How
much
more
then
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men!
12 15:12
A
scoffer
loveth
not
to
be
reproved;
He
will
not
go
unto
the
wise.
13 15:13
A
glad
heart
maketh
a
cheerful
countenance;
But
by
sorrow
of
heart
the
spirit
is
broken.
14 15:14
The
heart
of
him
that
hath
understanding
seeketh
knowledge;
But
the
mouth
of
fools
feedeth
on
folly.
15 15:15
All
the
days
of
the
afflicted
are
evil;
But
he
that
is
of
a
cheerful
heart
hath
a
continual
feast.
16 15:16
Better
is
little,
with
the
fear
of
Jehovah,
Than
great
treasure
and
trouble
therewith.
17 15:17
Better
is
a
dinner
of
herbs,
where
love
is,
Than
a
stalled
ox
and
hatred
therewith.
18 15:18
A
wrathful
man
stirreth
up
contention;
But
he
that
is
slow
to
anger
appeaseth
strife.
19 15:19
The
way
of
the
sluggard
is
as
a
hedge
of
thorns;
But
the
path
of
the
upright
is
made
a
highway.
20 15:20
A
wise
son
maketh
a
glad
father;
But
a
foolish
man
despiseth
his
mother.
21 15:21
Folly
is
joy
to
him
that
is
void
of
wisdom;
But
a
man
of
understanding
maketh
straight
his
going.
22 15:22
Where
there
is
no
counsel,
purposes
are
disappointed;
But
in
the
multitude
of
counsellors
they
are
established.
23 15:23
A
man
hath
joy
in
the
answer
of
his
mouth;
And
a
word
in
due
season,
how
good
is
it!
24 15:24
To
the
wise
the
way
of
life
goeth
upward,
That
he
may
depart
from
Sheol
beneath.
25 15:25
Jehovah
will
root
up
the
house
of
the
proud;
But
he
will
establish
the
border
of
the
widow.
26 15:26
Evil
devices
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
But
pleasant
words
are
pure.
27 15:27
He
that
is
greedy
of
gain
troubleth
his
own
house;
But
he
that
hateth
bribes
shall
live.
28 15:28
The
heart
of
the
righteous
studieth
to
answer;
But
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
poureth
out
evil
things.
29 15:29
Jehovah
is
far
from
the
wicked;
But
he
heareth
the
prayer
of
the
righteous.
30 15:30
The
light
of
the
eyes
rejoiceth
the
heart;
And
good
tidings
make
the
bones
fat.
31 15:31
The
ear
that
hearkeneth
to
the
reproof
of
life
Shall
abide
among
the
wise.
32 15:32
He
that
refuseth
correction
despiseth
his
own
soul;
But
he
that
hearkeneth
to
reproof
getteth
understanding.
33 15:33
The
fear
of
Jehovah
is
the
instruction
of
wisdom;
And
before
honor
goeth
humility.
161 16:1
The
plans
of
the
heart
belong
to
man;
But
the
answer
of
the
tongue
is
from
Jehovah.
2 16:2
All
the
ways
of
a
man
are
clean
in
his
own
eyes;
But
Jehovah
weigheth
the
spirits.
3 16:3
Commit
thy
works
unto
Jehovah,
And
thy
purposes
shall
be
established.
4 16:4
Jehovah
hath
made
everything
for
its
own
end;
Yea,
even
the
wicked
for
the
day
of
evil.
5 16:5
Every
one
that
is
proud
in
heart
is
an
abomination
to
Jehovah:
Though
hand
join
in
hand,
he
shall
not
be
unpunished.
6 16:6
By
mercy
and
truth
iniquity
is
atoned
for;
And
by
the
fear
of
Jehovah
men
depart
from
evil.
7 16:7
When
a
man’s
ways
please
Jehovah,
He
maketh
even
his
enemies
to
be
at
peace
with
him.
8 16:8
Better
is
a
little,
with
righteousness,
Than
great
revenues
with
injustice.
9 16:9
A
man’s
heart
deviseth
his
way;
But
Jehovah
directeth
his
steps.
10 16:10
A
divine
sentence
is
in
the
lips
of
the
king;
His
mouth
shall
not
transgress
in
judgment.
11 16:11
A
just
balance
and
scales
are Jehovah’s;
All
the
weights
of
the
bag
are
his
work.
12 16:12
It
is
an
abomination
to
kings
to
commit
wickedness;
For
the
throne
is
established
by
righteousness.
13 16:13
Righteous
lips
are
the
delight
of
kings;
And
they
love
him
that
speaketh
right.
14 16:14
The
wrath
of
a
king
is
as
messengers
of
death;
But
a
wise
man
will
pacify
it.
15 16:15
In
the
light
of
the
king’s
countenance
is
life;
And
his
favor
is
as
a
cloud
of
the
latter
rain.
16 16:16
How
much
better
is
it
to
get
wisdom
than
gold!
Yea,
to
get
understanding
is
rather
to
be
chosen
than
silver.
17 16:17
The
highway
of
the
upright
is
to
depart
from
evil:
He
that
keepeth
his
way
preserveth
his
soul.
18 16:18
Pride
goeth
before
destruction,
And
a
haughty
spirit
before
a
fall.
19 16:19
Better
it
is
to
be
of
a
lowly
spirit
with
the
poor,
Than
to
divide
the
spoil
with
the
proud.
20 16:20
He
that
giveth
heed
unto
the
word
shall
find
good;
And
whoso
trusteth
in
Jehovah,
happy
is
he.
21 16:21
The
wise
in
heart
shall
be
called
prudent;
And
the
sweetness
of
the
lips
increaseth
learning.
22 16:22
Understanding
is
a well-spring
of
life
unto
him
that
hath
it;
But
the
correction
of
fools
is
their
folly.
23 16:23
The
heart
of
the
wise instructeth
his
mouth,
And
addeth
learning
to
his
lips.
24 16:24
Pleasant
words
are
as
a
honeycomb,
Sweet
to
the
soul,
and
health
to
the
bones.
25 16:25
There
is
a
way
which
seemeth
right
unto
a
man,
But
the
end
thereof
are
the
ways
of
death.
26 16:26
The
appetite
of
the
laboring
man laboreth
for
him;
For
his
mouth urgeth
him
thereto.
27 16:27
A
worthless
man
deviseth
mischief;
And
in
his
lips
there
is
as
a
scorching
fire.
28 16:28
A
perverse
man
scattereth
abroad
strife;
And
a
whisperer
separateth
chief
friends.
29 16:29
A
man
of
violence
enticeth
his
neighbor,
And
leadeth
him
in
a
way
that
is
not
good.
30 16:30
He
that
shutteth
his
eyes,
it
is
to
devise
perverse
things:
He
that compresseth
his
lips
bringeth
evil
to
pass.
31 16:31
The
hoary
head
is
a
crown
of
glory;
It
shall
be
found
in
the
way
of
righteousness.
32 16:32
He
that
is
slow
to
anger
is
better
than
the
mighty;
And
he
that
ruleth
his
spirit,
than
he
that
taketh
a
city.
33 16:33
The
lot
is
cast
into
the
lap;
But
the
whole
disposing
thereof
is
of
Jehovah.
171 17:1
Better
is
a
dry
morsel,
and
quietness
therewith,
Than
a
house
full
of
feasting
with
strife.
2 17:2
A
servant
that
dealeth
wisely
shall
have
rule
over
a
son
that
causeth
shame,
And
shall
have
part
in
the
inheritance
among
the
brethren.
3 17:3
The
refining
pot
is
for
silver,
and
the
furnace
for
gold;
But
Jehovah
trieth
the
hearts.
4 17:4
An evil-doer
giveth
heed
to
wicked
lips;
And
a
liar
giveth
ear
to
a
mischievous
tongue.
5 17:5
Whoso
mocketh
the
poor
reproacheth
his
Maker;
And
he
that
is
glad
at
calamity
shall
not
be
unpunished.
6 17:6
Children’s
children
are
the
crown
of
old
men;
And
the
glory
of
children
are
their
fathers.
7 17:7
Excellent
speech
becometh
not
a
fool;
Much
less
do
lying
lips
a
prince.
8 17:8
A
bribe
is
as
a
precious
stone
in
the
eyes
of
him
that
hath
it;
Whithersoever
it
turneth,
it
prospereth.
9 17:9
He
that
covereth
a
transgression
seeketh
love;
But
he
that harpeth
on
a
matter
separateth
chief
friends.
10 17:10
A
rebuke
entereth
deeper
into
one
that
hath
understanding
Than
a
hundred
stripes
into
a
fool.
11 17:11
An
evil
man
seeketh
only
rebellion;
Therefore
a
cruel
messenger
shall
be
sent
against
him.
12 17:12
Let
a
bear
robbed
of
her
whelps
meet
a
man,
Rather
than
a
fool
in
his
folly.
13 17:13
Whoso
rewardeth
evil
for
good,
Evil
shall
not
depart
from
his
house.
14 17:14
The
beginning
of
strife
is
as
when
one letteth
out
water:
Therefore
leave
off
contention,
before
there
is quarrelling.
15 17:15
He
that
justifieth
the
wicked,
and
he
that
condemneth
the
righteous,
Both
of
them
alike
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah.
16 17:16
Wherefore
is
there
a
price
in
the
hand
of
a
fool
to
buy
wisdom,
Seeing
he
hath
no
understanding?
17 17:17
A
friend
loveth
at
all
times;
And
a
brother
is
born
for
adversity.
18 17:18
A
man
void
of
understanding
striketh
hands,
And
becometh
surety
in
the
presence
of
his
neighbor.
19 17:19
He
loveth
transgression
that
loveth
strife:
He
that
raiseth
high
his
gate
seeketh
destruction.
20 17:20
He
that
hath
a
wayward
heart
findeth
no
good;
And
he
that
hath
a
perverse
tongue
falleth
into
mischief.
21 17:21
He
that
begetteth
a
fool
doeth
it
to
his
sorrow;
And
the
father
of
a
fool
hath
no
joy.
22 17:22
A
cheerful
heart
is
a
good
medicine;
But
a
broken
spirit
drieth
up
the
bones.
23 17:23
A
wicked
man
receiveth
a
bribe
out
of
the
bosom,
To
pervert
the
ways
of
justice.
24 17:24
Wisdom
is
before
the
face
of
him
that
hath
understanding;
But
the
eyes
of
a
fool
are
in
the
ends
of
the
earth.
25 17:25
A
foolish
son
is
a
grief
to
his
father,
And
bitterness
to
her
that
bare
him.
26 17:26
Also
to
punish
the
righteous
is
not
good,
Nor
to
smite
the
noble
for
their
uprightness.
27 17:27
He
that
spareth
his
words
hath
knowledge;
And
he
that
is
of
a
cool
spirit
is
a
man
of
understanding.
28 17:28
Even
a
fool,
when
he
holdeth
his
peace,
is
counted
wise;
When
he
shutteth
his
lips,
he
is
esteemed
as
prudent.
181 18:1
He
that
separateth
himself
seeketh
his
own
desire,
And
rageth
against
all
sound
wisdom.
2 18:2
A
fool
hath
no
delight
in
understanding,
But
only
that
his
heart
may
reveal
itself.
3 18:3
When
the
wicked
cometh,
there
cometh
also
contempt,
And
with
ignominy
cometh
reproach.
4 18:4
The
words
of
a
man’s
mouth
are
as
deep
waters;
The
wellspring
of
wisdom
is
as
a
flowing
brook.
5 18:5
To
respect
the
person
of
the
wicked
is
not
good,
Nor
to
turn
aside
the
righteous
in
judgment.
6 18:6
A
fool’s
lips
enter
into
contention,
And
his
mouth
calleth
for
stripes.
7 18:7
A
fool’s
mouth
is
his
destruction,
And
his
lips
are
the
snare
of
his
soul.
8 18:8
The
words
of
a
whisperer
are
as
dainty
morsels,
And
they
go
down
into
the
innermost
parts.
9 18:9
He
also
that
is
slack
in
his
work
Is
brother
to
him
that
is
a
destroyer.
10 18:10
The
name
of
Jehovah
is
a
strong
tower;
The
righteous
runneth
into
it,
and
is
safe.
11 18:11
The
rich
man’s
wealth
is
his
strong
city,
And
as
a
high
wall
in
his
own
imagination.
12 18:12
Before
destruction
the
heart
of
man
is
haughty;
And
before
honor
goeth
humility.
13 18:13
He
that
giveth
answer
before
he
heareth,
It
is
folly
and
shame
unto
him.
14 18:14
The
spirit
of
a
man
will
sustain
his
infirmity;
But
a
broken
spirit
who
can
bear?
15 18:15
The
heart
of
the
prudent
getteth
knowledge;
And
the
ear
of
the
wise
seeketh
knowledge.
16 18:16
A
man’s
gift
maketh
room
for
him,
And
bringeth
him
before
great
men.
17 18:17
He
that
pleadeth
his
cause
first
seemeth
just;
But
his
neighbor
cometh
and
searcheth
him
out.
18 18:18
The
lot
causeth
contentions
to
cease,
And
parteth
between
the
mighty.
19 18:19
A
brother
offended
is
harder
to
be
won
than
a
strong
city;
And
such
contentions
are
like
the
bars
of
a
castle.
20 18:20
A
man’s
belly
shall
be
filled
with
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
With
the
increase
of
his
lips
shall
he
be
satisfied.
21 18:21
Death
and
life
are
in
the
power
of
the
tongue;
And
they
that
love
it
shall
eat
the
fruit
thereof.
22 18:22
Whoso
findeth
a
wife
findeth
a
good
thing,
And
obtaineth
favor
of
Jehovah.
23 18:23
The
poor
useth entreaties;
But
the
rich
answereth
roughly.
24 18:24
He
that
maketh
many
friends
doeth
it
to
his
own
destruction;
But
there
is
a
friend
that sticketh
closer
than
a
brother.
191 19:1
Better
is
the
poor
that
walketh
in
his
integrity
Than
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
lips
and
is
a
fool.
2 19:2
Also,
that
the
soul
be
without
knowledge
is
not
good;
And
he
that
hasteth
with
his
feet
sinneth.
3 19:3
The
foolishness
of
man subverteth
his
way;
And
his
heart
fretteth
against
Jehovah.
4 19:4
Wealth
addeth
many
friends;
But
the
poor
is
separated
from
his
friend.
5 19:5
A
false
witness
shall
not
be
unpunished;
And
he
that
uttereth
lies
shall
not
escape.
6 19:6
Many
will
entreat
the
favor
of
the
liberal
man;
And
every
man
is
a
friend
to
him
that
giveth
gifts.
7 19:7
All
the
brethren
of
the
poor
do
hate
him:
How
much
more
do
his
friends
go
far
from
him!
He
pursueth
them
with
words,
but
they
are
gone.
8 19:8
He
that
getteth
wisdom
loveth
his
own
soul:
He
that
keepeth
understanding
shall
find
good.
9 19:9
A
false
witness
shall
not
be
unpunished;
And
he
that
uttereth
lies
shall
perish.
10 19:10
Delicate
living
is
not
seemly
for
a
fool;
Much
less
for
a
servant
to
have
rule
over
princes.
11 19:11
The
discretion
of
a
man
maketh
him
slow
to
anger;
And
it
is
his
glory
to
pass
over
a
transgression.
12 19:12
The
king’s
wrath
is
as
the
roaring
of
a
lion;
But
his
favor
is
as
dew
upon
the
grass.
13 19:13
A
foolish
son
is
the
calamity
of
his
father;
And
the
contentions
of
a
wife
are
a
continual
dropping.
14 19:14
House
and
riches
are
an
inheritance
from
fathers;
But
a
prudent
wife
is
from
Jehovah.
15 19:15
Slothfulness
casteth
into
a
deep
sleep;
And
the
idle
soul
shall
suffer
hunger.
16 19:16
He
that
keepeth
the
commandment
keepeth
his
soul;
But
he
that
is
careless
of
his
ways
shall
die.
17 19:17
He
that
hath
pity
upon
the
poor
lendeth
unto
Jehovah,
And
his
good
deed
will
he
pay
him
again.
18 19:18
Chasten
thy
son,
seeing
there
is
hope;
And
set
not
thy
heart
on
his
destruction.
19 19:19
A
man
of
great
wrath
shall
bear
the
penalty;
For
if
thou
deliver
him,
thou
must
do
it
yet
again.
20 19:20
Hear
counsel,
and
receive
instruction,
That
thou
mayest
be
wise
in
thy
latter
end.
21 19:21
There
are
many
devices
in
a
man’s
heart;
But
the
counsel
of
Jehovah,
that
shall
stand.
22 19:22
That
which
maketh
a
man
to
be
desired
is
his
kindness;
And
a
poor
man
is
better
than
a
liar.
23 19:23
The
fear
of
Jehovah
tendeth
to
life;
And
he
that
hath
it
shall
abide
satisfied;
He
shall
not
be
visited
with
evil.
24 19:24
The
sluggard burieth
his
hand
in
the
dish,
And
will
not
so
much
as
bring
it
to
his
mouth
again.
25 19:25
Smite
a
scoffer,
and
the
simple
will
learn
prudence;
And
reprove
one
that
hath
understanding,
and
he
will
understand
knowledge.
26 19:26
He
that
doeth
violence
to
his
father,
and chaseth
away
his
mother,
Is
a
son
that
causeth
shame
and
bringeth
reproach.
27 19:27
Cease,
my
son,
to
hear
instruction
Only
to
err
from
the
words
of
knowledge.
28 19:28
A
worthless
witness
mocketh
at
justice;
And
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
swalloweth
iniquity.
29 19:29
Judgments
are
prepared
for
scoffers,
And
stripes
for
the
back
of
fools.
201 20:1
Wine
is
a
mocker,
strong
drink
a
brawler;
And
whosoever
erreth
thereby
is
not
wise.
2 20:2
The
terror
of
a
king
is
as
the
roaring
of
a
lion:
He
that provoketh
him
to
anger
sinneth
against
his
own
life.
3 20:3
It
is
an
honor
for
a
man
to
keep
aloof
from
strife;
But
every
fool
will
be quarrelling.
4 20:4
The
sluggard
will
not
plow
by
reason
of
the
winter;
Therefore
he
shall
beg
in
harvest,
and
have
nothing.
5 20:5
Counsel
in
the
heart
of
man
is
like
deep
water;
But
a
man
of
understanding
will
draw
it
out.
6 20:6
Most
men
will
proclaim
every
one
his
own
kindness;
But
a
faithful
man
who
can
find?
7 20:7
A
righteous
man
that
walketh
in
his
integrity,
Blessed
are
his
children
after
him.
8 20:8
A
king
that
sitteth
on
the
throne
of
judgment
Scattereth
away
all
evil
with
his
eyes.
9 20:9
Who
can
say,
I
have
made
my
heart
clean,
I
am
pure
from
my
sin?
10 20:10
Diverse
weights,
and
diverse
measures,
Both
of
them
alike
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah.
11 20:11
Even
a
child
maketh
himself
known
by
his
doings,
Whether
his
work
be
pure,
and
whether
it
be
right.
12 20:12
The
hearing
ear,
and
the
seeing
eye,
Jehovah
hath
made
even
both
of
them.
13 20:13
Love
not
sleep,
lest
thou
come
to
poverty;
Open
thine
eyes,
and
thou shalt
be
satisfied
with
bread.
14 20:14
It
is
bad,
it
is
bad,
saith
the
buyer;
But
when
he
is
gone
his
way,
then
he
boasteth.
15 20:15
There
is
gold,
and
abundance
of
rubies;
But
the
lips
of
knowledge
are
a
precious
jewel.
16 20:16
Take
his
garment
that
is
surety
for
a
stranger;
And
hold
him
in
pledge
that
is
surety
for
foreigners.
17 20:17
Bread
of
falsehood
is
sweet
to
a
man;
But
afterwards
his
mouth
shall
be
filled
with
gravel.
18 20:18
Every
purpose
is
established
by
counsel;
And
by
wise
guidance
make
thou
war.
19 20:19
He
that
goeth
about
as
a tale-bearer
revealeth
secrets;
Therefore
company
not
with
him
that
openeth
wide
his
lips.
20 20:20
Whoso
curseth
his
father
or
his
mother,
His
lamp
shall
be
put
out
in
blackness
of
darkness.
21 20:21
An
inheritance
may
be
gotten
hastily
at
the
beginning;
But
the
end
thereof
shall
not
be
blessed.
22 20:22
Say
not
thou,
I
will
recompense
evil:
Wait
for
Jehovah,
and
he
will
save
thee.
23 20:23
Diverse
weights
are
an
abomination
to
Jehovah;
And
a
false
balance
is
not
good.
24 20:24
A
man’s
goings
are
of
Jehovah;
How
then
can
man
understand
his
way?
25 20:25
It
is
a
snare
to
a
man
rashly
to
say,
It
is
holy,
And
after
vows
to
make
inquiry.
26 20:26
A
wise
king
winnoweth
the
wicked,
And
bringeth
the
threshing-wheel
over
them.
27 20:27
The
spirit
of
man
is
the
lamp
of
Jehovah,
Searching
all
his
innermost
parts.
28 20:28
Kindness
and
truth
preserve
the
king;
And
his
throne
is
upholden
by
kindness.
29 20:29
The
glory
of
young
men
is
their
strength;
And
the
beauty
of
old
men
is
the
hoary
head.
30 20:30
Stripes
that
wound
cleanse
away
evil;
And
strokes
reach
the
innermost
parts.
211 21:1
The
king’s
heart
is
in
the
hand
of
Jehovah
as
the watercourses:
He
turneth
it
whithersoever
he
will.
2 21:2
Every
way
of
a
man
is
right
in
his
own
eyes;
But
Jehovah
weigheth
the
hearts.
3 21:3
To
do
righteousness
and
justice
Is
more
acceptable
to
Jehovah
than
sacrifice.
4 21:4
A
high
look,
and
a
proud
heart,
Even
the
lamp
of
the
wicked,
is
sin.
5 21:5
The
thoughts
of
the
diligent
tend
only
to
plenteousness;
But
every
one
that
is
hasty
hasteth
only
to
want.
6 21:6
The
getting
of
treasures
by
a
lying
tongue
Is
a
vapor
driven
to
and
fro
by
them
that
seek
death.
7 21:7
The
violence
of
the
wicked
shall
sweep
them
away,
Because
they
refuse
to
do
justice.
8 21:8
The
way
of
him
that
is
laden
with
guilt
is
exceeding
crooked;
But
as
for
the
pure,
his
work
is
right.
9 21:9
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
the
corner
of
the
housetop,
Than
with
a
contentious
woman
in
a
wide
house.
10 21:10
The
soul
of
the
wicked
desireth
evil:
His
neighbor
findeth
no
favor
in
his
eyes.
11 21:11
When
the
scoffer
is
punished,
the
simple
is
made
wise;
And
when
the
wise
is
instructed,
he
receiveth
knowledge.
12 21:12
The
righteous
man
considereth
the
house
of
the
wicked,
How
the
wicked
are
overthrown
to
their
ruin.
13 21:13
Whoso
stoppeth
his
ears
at
the
cry
of
the
poor,
He
also
shall
cry,
but
shall
not
be
heard.
14 21:14
A
gift
in
secret
pacifieth
anger;
And
a
present
in
the
bosom,
strong
wrath.
15 21:15
It
is
joy
to
the
righteous
to
do
justice;
But
it
is
a
destruction
to
the
workers
of
iniquity.
16 21:16
The
man
that
wandereth
out
of
the
way
of
understanding
Shall
rest
in
the
assembly
of
the
dead.
17 21:17
He
that
loveth
pleasure
shall
be
a
poor
man:
He
that
loveth
wine
and
oil
shall
not
be
rich.
18 21:18
The
wicked
is
a
ransom
for
the
righteous;
And
the
treacherous
cometh
in
the
stead
of
the
upright.
19 21:19
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
a
desert
land,
Than
with
a
contentious
and fretful
woman.
20 21:20
There
is
precious
treasure
and
oil
in
the
dwelling
of
the
wise;
But
a
foolish
man
swalloweth
it
up.
21 21:21
He
that
followeth
after
righteousness
and
kindness
Findeth
life,
righteousness,
and
honor.
22 21:22
A
wise
man
scaleth
the
city
of
the
mighty,
And
bringeth
down
the
strength
of
the
confidence
thereof.
23 21:23
Whoso
keepeth
his
mouth
and
his
tongue
Keepeth
his
soul
from
troubles.
24 21:24
The
proud
and
haughty
man,
scoffer
is
his
name;
He
worketh
in
the
arrogance
of
pride.
25 21:25
The
desire
of
the
sluggard
killeth
him;
For
his
hands
refuse
to
labor.
26 21:26
There
is
that
coveteth
greedily
all
the
day
long;
But
the
righteous
giveth
and
withholdeth
not.
27 21:27
The
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
an
abomination;
How
much
more,
when
he
bringeth
it
with
a
wicked
mind!
28 21:28
A
false
witness
shall
perish;
But
the
man
that
heareth
shall
speak
so
as
to
endure.
29 21:29
A
wicked
man
hardeneth
his
face;
But
as
for
the
upright,
he
establisheth
his
ways.
30 21:30
There
is
no
wisdom
nor
understanding
Nor
counsel
against
Jehovah.
31 21:31
The
horse
is
prepared
against
the
day
of
battle;
But
victory
is
of
Jehovah.
221 22:1
A
good
name
is
rather
to
be
chosen
than
great
riches,
And
loving
favor
rather
than
silver
and
gold.
2 22:2
The
rich
and
the
poor
meet
together:
Jehovah
is
the
maker
of
them
all.
3 22:3
A
prudent
man
seeth
the
evil,
and
hideth
himself;
But
the
simple
pass
on,
and
suffer
for
it.
4 22:4
The
reward
of
humility
and
the
fear
of
Jehovah
Is
riches,
and
honor,
and
life.
5 22:5
Thorns
and
snares
are
in
the
way
of
the
perverse:
He
that
keepeth
his
soul
shall
be
far
from
them.
6 22:6
Train
up
a
child
in
the
way
he
should
go,
And
even
when
he
is
old
he
will
not
depart
from
it.
7 22:7
The
rich
ruleth
over
the
poor;
And
the
borrower
is
servant
to
the
lender.
8 22:8
He
that
soweth
iniquity
shall
reap
calamity;
And
the
rod
of
his
wrath
shall
fail.
9 22:9
He
that
hath
a
bountiful
eye
shall
be
blessed;
For
he
giveth
of
his
bread
to
the
poor.
10 22:10
Cast
out
the
scoffer,
and
contention
will
go
out;
Yea,
strife
and
ignominy
will
cease.
11 22:11
He
that
loveth
pureness
of
heart,
For
the
grace
of
his
lips
the
king
will
be
his
friend.
12 22:12
The
eyes
of
Jehovah
preserve
him
that
hath
knowledge;
But
he
overthroweth
the
words
of
the
treacherous
man.
13 22:13
The
sluggard
saith,
There
is
a
lion
without;
I
shall
be
slain
in
the
streets.
14 22:14
The
mouth
of
strange
women
is
a
deep
pit;
He
that
is
abhorred
of
Jehovah
shall
fall
therein.
15 22:15
Foolishness
is
bound
up
in
the
heart
of
a
child;
But
the
rod
of
correction
shall
drive
it
far
from
him.
16 22:16
He
that
oppresseth
the
poor
to
increase
his
gain,
And
he
that
giveth
to
the
rich,
shall
come
only
to
want.
17 22:17
Incline
thine
ear,
and
hear
the
words
of
the
wise,
And
apply
thy
heart
unto
my
knowledge.
18 22:18
For
it
is
a
pleasant
thing
if
thou
keep
them
within
thee,
If
they
be
established
together
upon
thy
lips.
19 22:19
That
thy
trust
may
be
in
Jehovah,
I
have
made
them
known
to
thee
this
day,
even
to
thee.
20 22:20
Have
not
I
written
unto
thee
excellent
things
Of
counsels
and
knowledge,
21 22:21
To
make
thee
know
the
certainty
of
the
words
of
truth,
That
thou
mayest
carry
back
words
of
truth
to
them
that
send
thee?
22 22:22
Rob
not
the
poor,
because
he
is
poor;
Neither
oppress
the
afflicted
in
the
gate:
23 22:23
For
Jehovah
will
plead
their
cause,
And
despoil
of
life
those
that
despoil
them.
24 22:24
Make
no
friendship
with
a
man
that
is
given
to
anger;
And
with
a
wrathful
man
thou shalt
not
go:
25 22:25
Lest
thou
learn
his
ways,
And
get
a
snare
to
thy
soul.
26 22:26
Be
thou
not
one
of
them
that
strike
hands,
Or
of
them
that
are
sureties
for
debts.
27 22:27
If
thou
hast
not
wherewith
to
pay,
Why
should
he
take
away
thy
bed
from
under
thee?
28 22:28
Remove
not
the
ancient
landmark,
Which
thy
fathers
have
set.
29 22:29
Seest
thou
a
man
diligent
in
his
business?
he
shall
stand
before
kings;
He
shall
not
stand
before
mean
men.
231 23:1
When
thou
sittest
to
eat
with
a
ruler,
Consider
diligently
him
that
is
before
thee;
2 23:2
And
put
a
knife
to
thy
throat,
If
thou
be
a
man
given
to
appetite.
3 23:3
Be
not
desirous
of
his
dainties;
Seeing
they
are
deceitful
food.
4 23:4
Weary
not
thyself
to
be
rich;
Cease
from
thine
own
wisdom.
5 23:5
Wilt
thou
set
thine
eyes
upon
that
which
is
not?
For
riches
certainly
make
themselves
wings,
Like
an
eagle
that
flieth
toward
heaven.
6 23:6
Eat
thou
not
the
bread
of
him
that
hath
an
evil
eye,
Neither
desire
thou
his
dainties:
7 23:7
For
as
he
thinketh
within
himself,
so
is
he:
Eat
and
drink,
saith
he
to
thee;
But
his
heart
is
not
with
thee.
8 23:8
The
morsel
which
thou
hast
eaten shalt
thou
vomit
up,
And
lose
thy
sweet
words.
9 23:9
Speak
not
in
the
hearing
of
a
fool;
For
he
will
despise
the
wisdom
of
thy
words.
10 23:10
Remove
not
the
ancient
landmark;
And
enter
not
into
the
fields
of
the
fatherless:
11 23:11
For
their
Redeemer
is
strong;
He
will
plead
their
cause
against
thee.
12 23:12
Apply
thy
heart
unto
instruction,
And
thine
ears
to
the
words
of
knowledge.
13 23:13
Withhold
not
correction
from
the
child;
For
if
thou
beat
him
with
the
rod,
he
will
not
die.
14 23:14
Thou shalt
beat
him
with
the
rod,
And shalt
deliver
his
soul
from
Sheol.
15 23:15
My
son,
if
thy
heart
be
wise,
My
heart
will
be
glad,
even
mine:
16 23:16
Yea,
my
heart
will
rejoice,
When
thy
lips
speak
right
things.
17 23:17
Let
not
thy
heart
envy
sinners;
But
be
thou
in
the
fear
of
Jehovah
all
the
day
long:
18 23:18
For
surely
there
is
a
reward;
And
thy
hope
shall
not
be
cut
off.
19 23:19
Hear
thou,
my
son,
and
be
wise,
And
guide
thy
heart
in
the
way.
20 23:20
Be
not
among
winebibbers,
Among
gluttonous
eaters
of
flesh:
21 23:21
For
the
drunkard
and
the
glutton
shall
come
to
poverty;
And
drowsiness
will
clothe
a
man
with
rags.
22 23:22
Hearken
unto
thy
father
that
begat
thee,
And
despise
not
thy
mother
when
she
is
old.
23 23:23
Buy
the
truth,
and
sell
it
not;
Yea,
wisdom,
and
instruction,
and
understanding.
24 23:24
The
father
of
the
righteous
will
greatly
rejoice;
And
he
that
begetteth
a
wise
child
will
have
joy
of
him.
25 23:25
Let
thy
father
and
thy
mother
be
glad,
And
let
her
that
bare
thee
rejoice.
26 23:26
My
son,
give
me
thy
heart;
And
let
thine
eyes
delight
in
my
ways.
27 23:27
For
a
harlot
is
a
deep
ditch;
And
a
foreign
woman
is
a
narrow
pit.
28 23:28
Yea,
she
lieth
in
wait
as
a
robber,
And
increaseth
the
treacherous
among
men.
29 23:29
Who
hath
woe?
who
hath
sorrow?
who
hath
contentions?
Who
hath
complaining?
who
hath
wounds
without
cause?
Who
hath
redness
of
eyes?
30 23:30
They
that
tarry
long
at
the
wine;
They
that
go
to
seek
out
mixed
wine.
31 23:31
Look
not
thou
upon
the
wine
when
it
is
red,
When
it sparkleth
in
the
cup,
When
it
goeth
down
smoothly:
32 23:32
At
the
last
it
biteth
like
a
serpent,
And
stingeth
like
an
adder.
33 23:33
Thine
eyes
shall
behold
strange
things,
And
thy
heart
shall
utter
perverse
things.
34 23:34
Yea,
thou shalt
be
as
he
that
lieth
down
in
the
midst
of
the
sea,
Or
as
he
that
lieth
upon
the
top
of
a
mast.
35 23:35
They
have
stricken
me,
shalt
thou
say,
and
I
was
not
hurt;
They
have
beaten
me,
and
I
felt
it
not:
When
shall
I
awake?
I
will
seek
it
yet
again.
241 24:1
Be
not
thou
envious
against
evil
men;
Neither
desire
to
be
with
them:
2 24:2
For
their
heart
studieth
oppression,
And
their
lips
talk
of
mischief.
3 24:3
Through
wisdom
is
a
house
builded;
And
by
understanding
it
is
established;
4 24:4
And
by
knowledge
are
the
chambers
filled
With
all
precious
and
pleasant
riches.
5 24:5
A
wise
man
is
strong;
Yea,
a
man
of
knowledge
increaseth
might.
6 24:6
For
by
wise
guidance
thou shalt
make
thy
war;
And
in
the
multitude
of
counsellors
there
is
safety.
7 24:7
Wisdom
is
too
high
for
a
fool:
He
openeth
not
his
mouth
in
the
gate.
8 24:8
He
that
deviseth
to
do
evil,
Men
shall
call
him
a mischief-maker.
9 24:9
The
thought
of
foolishness
is
sin;
And
the
scoffer
is
an
abomination
to
men.
10 24:10
If
thou
faint
in
the
day
of
adversity,
Thy
strength
is
small.
11 24:11
Deliver
them
that
are
carried
away
unto
death,
And
those
that
are
ready
to
be
slain
see
that
thou
hold
back.
12 24:12
If
thou
sayest,
Behold,
we
knew
not
this;
Doth
not
he
that
weigheth
the
hearts
consider
it?
And
he
that
keepeth
thy
soul,
doth
not
he
know
it?
And
shall
not
he
render
to
every
man
according
to
his
work?
13 24:13
My
son,
eat
thou
honey,
for
it
is
good;
And
the droppings
of
the
honeycomb,
which
are
sweet
to
thy
taste:
14 24:14
So shalt
thou
know
wisdom
to
be
unto
thy
soul;
If
thou
hast
found
it,
then
shall
there
be
a
reward,
And
thy
hope
shall
not
be
cut
off.
15 24:15
Lay
not
wait,
O
wicked
man,
against
the
habitation
of
the
righteous;
Destroy
not
his resting-place:
16 24:16
For
a
righteous
man
falleth
seven
times,
and
riseth
up
again;
But
the
wicked
are
overthrown
by
calamity.
17 24:17
Rejoice
not
when
thine
enemy
falleth,
And
let
not
thy
heart
be
glad
when
he
is
overthrown;
18 24:18
Lest
Jehovah
see
it,
and
it
displease
him,
And
he
turn
away
his
wrath
from
him.
19 24:19
Fret
not
thyself
because
of evil-doers;
Neither
be
thou
envious
at
the
wicked:
20 24:20
For
there
shall
be
no
reward
to
the
evil
man;
The
lamp
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
21 24:21
My
son,
fear
thou
Jehovah
and
the
king;
And
company
not
with
them
that
are
given
to
change:
22 24:22
For
their
calamity
shall
rise
suddenly;
And
the
destruction
from
them
both,
who
knoweth
it?
23 24:23
These
also
are
sayings
of
the
wise.
To
have
respect
of
persons
in
judgment
is
not
good.
24 24:24
He
that
saith
unto
the
wicked,
Thou
art
righteous,
Peoples
shall
curse
him,
nations
shall
abhor
him;
25 24:25
But
to
them
that
rebuke
him
shall
be
delight,
And
a
good
blessing
shall
come
upon
them.
26 24:26
He kisseth
the
lips
Who
giveth
a
right
answer.
27 24:27
Prepare
thy
work
without,
And
make
it
ready
for
thee
in
the
field;
And
afterwards
build
thy
house.
28 24:28
Be
not
a
witness
against
thy
neighbor
without
cause;
And
deceive
not
with
thy
lips.
29 24:29
Say
not,
I
will
do
so
to
him
as
he
hath
done
to
me;
I
will
render
to
the
man
according
to
his
work.
30 24:30
I
went
by
the
field
of
the
sluggard,
And
by
the
vineyard
of
the
man
void
of
understanding;
31 24:31
And,
lo,
it
was
all
grown
over
with
thorns,
The
face
thereof
was
covered
with
nettles,
And
the
stone
wall
thereof
was
broken
down.
32 24:32
Then
I
beheld,
and
considered
well;
I
saw,
and
received
instruction:
33 24:33
Yet
a
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
A
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleep;
34 24:34
So
shall
thy
poverty
come
as
a
robber,
And
thy
want
as
an
armed
man.
251 25:1
These
also
are
proverbs
of
Solomon,
which
the
men
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
copied
out.
2 25:2
It
is
the
glory
of
God
to
conceal
a
thing;
But
the
glory
of
kings
is
to
search
out
a
matter.
3 25:3
As
the
heavens
for
height,
and
the
earth
for
depth,
So
the
heart
of
kings
is
unsearchable.
4 25:4
Take
away
the
dross
from
the
silver,
And
there
cometh
forth
a
vessel
for
the
refiner:
5 25:5
Take
away
the
wicked
from
before
the
king,
And
his
throne
shall
be
established
in
righteousness.
6 25:6
Put
not
thyself
forward
in
the
presence
of
the
king,
And
stand
not
in
the
place
of
great
men:
7 25:7
For
better
is
it
that
it
be
said
unto
thee,
Come
up
hither,
Than
that
thou shouldest
be
put
lower
in
the
presence
of
the
prince,
Whom
thine
eyes
have
seen.
8 25:8
Go
not
forth
hastily
to
strive,
Lest
thou
know
not
what
to
do
in
the
end
thereof,
When
thy
neighbor
hath
put
thee
to
shame.
9 25:9
Debate
thy
cause
with
thy
neighbor
himself,
And
disclose
not
the
secret
of
another;
10 25:10
Lest
he
that
heareth
it
revile
thee,
And
thine
infamy
turn
not
away.
11 25:11
A
word
fitly
spoken
Is
like
apples
of
gold
in
network
of
silver.
12 25:12
As
an ear-ring
of
gold,
and
an
ornament
of
fine
gold,
So
is
a
wise
reprover
upon
an
obedient
ear.
13 25:13
As
the
cold
of
snow
in
the
time
of
harvest,
So
is
a
faithful
messenger
to
them
that
send
him;
For
he
refresheth
the
soul
of
his
masters.
14 25:14
As
clouds
and
wind
without
rain,
So
is
he
that
boasteth
himself
of
his
gifts
falsely.
15 25:15
By
long
forbearing
is
a
ruler
persuaded,
And
a
soft
tongue
breaketh
the
bone.
16 25:16
Hast
thou
found
honey?
eat
so
much
as
is
sufficient
for
thee,
Lest
thou
be
filled
therewith,
and
vomit
it.
17 25:17
Let
thy
foot
be seldom
in
thy
neighbor’s
house,
Lest
he
be
weary
of
thee,
and
hate
thee.
18 25:18
A
man
that
beareth
false
witness
against
his
neighbor
Is
a
maul,
and
a
sword,
and
a
sharp
arrow.
19 25:19
Confidence
in
an
unfaithful
man
in
time
of
trouble
Is
like
a
broken
tooth,
and
a
foot
out
of
joint.
20 25:20
As
one
that
taketh
off
a
garment
in
cold
weather,
and
as
vinegar
upon
soda,
So
is
he
that
singeth
songs
to
a
heavy
heart.
21 25:21
If
thine
enemy
be
hungry,
give
him
bread
to
eat;
And
if
he
be
thirsty,
give
him
water
to
drink:
22 25:22
For
thou
wilt
heap
coals
of
fire
upon
his
head,
And
Jehovah
will
reward
thee.
23 25:23
The
north
wind
bringeth
forth
rain;
So
doth
a
backbiting
tongue
an
angry
countenance.
24 25:24
It
is
better
to
dwell
in
the
corner
of
the
housetop,
Than
with
a
contentious
woman
in
a
wide
house.
25 25:25
As
cold
waters
to
a
thirsty
soul,
So
is
good
news
from
a
far
country.
26 25:26
As
a
troubled
fountain,
and
a
corrupted
spring,
So
is
a
righteous
man
that
giveth
way
before
the
wicked.
27 25:27
It
is
not
good
to
eat
much
honey;
So
for
men
to
search
out
their
own
glory
is
grievous.
28 25:28
He
whose
spirit
is
without
restraint
Is
like
a
city
that
is
broken
down
and
without
walls.
261 26:1
As
snow
in
summer,
and
as
rain
in
harvest,
So
honor
is
not
seemly
for
a
fool.
2 26:2
As
the
sparrow
in
her
wandering,
as
the
swallow
in
her
flying,
So
the
curse
that
is
causeless alighteth
not.
3 26:3
A
whip
for
the
horse,
a
bridle
for
the
ass,
And
a
rod
for
the
back
of
fools.
4 26:4
Answer
not
a
fool
according
to
his
folly,
Lest
thou
also
be
like
unto
him.
5 26:5
Answer
a
fool
according
to
his
folly,
Lest
he
be
wise
in
his
own
conceit.
6 26:6
He
that
sendeth
a
message
by
the
hand
of
a
fool
Cutteth
off
his
own
feet,
and
drinketh
in
damage.
7 26:7
The
legs
of
the
lame
hang
loose;
So
is
a
parable
in
the
mouth
of
fools.
8 26:8
As
one
that
bindeth
a
stone
in
a
sling,
So
is
he
that
giveth
honor
to
a
fool.
9 26:9
As
a
thorn
that
goeth
up
into
the
hand
of
a
drunkard,
So
is
a
parable
in
the
mouth
of
fools.
10 26:10
As
an
archer
that
woundeth
all,
So
is
he
that hireth
a
fool
and
he
that hireth
them
that
pass
by.
11 26:11
As
a
dog
that
returneth
to
his
vomit,
So
is
a
fool
that
repeateth
his
folly.
12 26:12
Seest
thou
a
man
wise
in
his
own
conceit?
There
is
more
hope
of
a
fool
than
of
him.
13 26:13
The
sluggard
saith,
There
is
a
lion
in
the
way;
A
lion
is
in
the
streets.
14 26:14
As
the
door
turneth
upon
its
hinges,
So
doth
the
sluggard
upon
his
bed.
15 26:15
The
sluggard burieth
his
hand
in
the
dish;
It
wearieth
him
to
bring
it
again
to
his
mouth.
16 26:16
The
sluggard
is
wiser
in
his
own
conceit
Than
seven
men
that
can
render
a
reason.
17 26:17
He
that
passeth
by,
and vexeth
himself
with
strife belonging
not
to
him,
Is
like
one
that
taketh
a
dog
by
the
ears.
18 26:18
As
a
madman
who
casteth
firebrands,
Arrows,
and
death,
19 26:19
So
is
the
man
that
deceiveth
his
neighbor,
And
saith,
Am
not
I
in
sport?
20 26:20
For
lack
of
wood
the
fire
goeth
out;
And
where
there
is
no
whisperer,
contention
ceaseth.
21 26:21
As
coals
are
to
hot
embers,
and
wood
to
fire,
So
is
a
contentious
man
to
inflame
strife.
22 26:22
The
words
of
a
whisperer
are
as
dainty
morsels,
And
they
go
down
into
the
innermost
parts.
23 26:23
Fervent
lips
and
a
wicked
heart
Are
like
an
earthen
vessel
overlaid
with
silver
dross.
24 26:24
He
that
hateth
dissembleth
with
his
lips;
But
he
layeth
up
deceit
within
him:
25 26:25
When
he
speaketh
fair,
believe
him
not;
For
there
are
seven
abominations
in
his
heart:
26 26:26
Though
his
hatred
cover
itself
with
guile,
His
wickedness
shall
be
openly
showed
before
the
assembly.
27 26:27
Whoso
diggeth
a
pit
shall
fall
therein;
And
he
that
rolleth
a
stone,
it
shall
return
upon
him.
28 26:28
A
lying
tongue
hateth
those
whom
it
hath
wounded;
And
a
flattering
mouth
worketh
ruin.
271 27:1
Boast
not
thyself
of to-morrow;
For
thou
knowest
not
what
a
day
may
bring
forth.
2 27:2
Let
another
man
praise
thee,
and
not
thine
own
mouth;
A
stranger,
and
not
thine
own
lips.
3 27:3
A
stone
is
heavy,
and
the
sand
weighty;
But
a
fool’s
vexation
is
heavier
than
they
both.
4 27:4
Wrath
is
cruel,
and
anger
is
overwhelming;
But
who
is
able
to
stand
before
jealousy?
5 27:5
Better
is
open
rebuke
Than
love
that
is
hidden.
6 27:6
Faithful
are
the
wounds
of
a
friend;
But
the
kisses
of
an
enemy
are profuse.
7 27:7
The
full
soul
loatheth
a
honeycomb;
But
to
the
hungry
soul
every
bitter
thing
is
sweet.
8 27:8
As
a
bird
that
wandereth
from
her
nest,
So
is
a
man
that
wandereth
from
his
place.
9 27:9
Oil
and
perfume
rejoice
the
heart;
So
doth
the
sweetness
of
a
man’s
friend
that
cometh
of
hearty
counsel.
10 27:10
Thine
own
friend,
and
thy
father’s
friend,
forsake
not;
And
go
not
to
thy
brother’s
house
in
the
day
of
thy
calamity:
Better
is
a
neighbor
that
is
near
than
a
brother
far
off.
11 27:11
My
son,
be
wise,
and
make
my
heart
glad,
That
I
may
answer
him
that
reproacheth
me.
12 27:12
A
prudent
man
seeth
the
evil,
and
hideth
himself;
But
the
simple
pass
on,
and
suffer
for
it.
13 27:13
Take
his
garment
that
is
surety
for
a
stranger;
And
hold
him
in
pledge
that
is
surety
for
a
foreign
woman.
14 27:14
He
that
blesseth
his
friend
with
a
loud
voice,
rising
early
in
the
morning,
It
shall
be
counted
a
curse
to
him.
15 27:15
A
continual
dropping
in
a
very
rainy
day
And
a
contentious
woman
are
alike:
16 27:16
He
that
would
restrain
her restraineth
the
wind;
And
his
right
hand encountereth
oil.
17 27:17
Iron
sharpeneth
iron;
So
a
man
sharpeneth
the
countenance
of
his
friend.
18 27:18
Whoso
keepeth
the fig-tree
shall
eat
the
fruit
thereof;
And
he
that
regardeth
his
master
shall
be
honored.
19 27:19
As
in
water
face
answereth
to
face,
So
the
heart
of
man
to
man.
20 27:20
Sheol
and
Abaddon
are
never
satisfied;
And
the
eyes
of
man
are
never
satisfied.
21 27:21
The
refining
pot
is
for
silver,
and
the
furnace
for
gold;
And
a
man
is
tried
by
his
praise.
22 27:22
Though
thou shouldest
bray
a
fool
in
a
mortar
with
a
pestle
along
with
bruised
grain,
Yet
will
not
his
foolishness
depart
from
him.
23 27:23
Be
thou
diligent
to
know
the
state
of
thy
flocks,
And
look
well
to
thy
herds:
24 27:24
For
riches
are
not
for
ever;
And
doth
the
crown
endure
unto
all
generations?
25 27:25
The
hay
is
carried,
and
the
tender
grass showeth
itself,
And
the
herbs
of
the
mountains
are
gathered
in.
26 27:26
The
lambs
are
for
thy
clothing,
And
the
goats
are
the
price
of
the
field;
27 27:27
And
there
will
be
goats’
milk
enough
for
thy
food,
for
the
food
of
thy
household,
And
maintenance
for
thy
maidens.
281 28:1
The
wicked
flee
when
no
man
pursueth;
But
the
righteous
are
bold
as
a
lion.
2 28:2
For
the
transgression
of
a
land
many
are
the
princes
thereof;
But
by
men
of
understanding
and
knowledge
the
state
thereof
shall
be
prolonged.
3 28:3
A
needy
man
that
oppresseth
the
poor
Is
like
a
sweeping
rain
which
leaveth
no
food.
4 28:4
They
that
forsake
the
law
praise
the
wicked;
But
such
as
keep
the
law
contend
with
them.
5 28:5
Evil
men
understand
not
justice;
But
they
that
seek
Jehovah
understand
all
things.
6 28:6
Better
is
the
poor
that
walketh
in
his
integrity,
Than
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways,
though
he
be
rich.
7 28:7
Whoso
keepeth
the
law
is
a
wise
son;
But
he
that
is
a
companion
of
gluttons
shameth
his
father.
8 28:8
He
that augmenteth
his
substance
by
interest
and
increase,
Gathereth
it
for
him
that
hath
pity
on
the
poor.
9 28:9
He
that
turneth
away
his
ear
from
hearing
the
law,
Even
his
prayer
is
an
abomination.
10 28:10
Whoso
causeth
the
upright
to
go
astray
in
an
evil
way,
He
shall
fall
himself
into
his
own
pit;
But
the
perfect
shall
inherit
good.
11 28:11
The
rich
man
is
wise
in
his
own
conceit;
But
the
poor
that
hath
understanding
searcheth
him
out.
12 28:12
When
the
righteous
triumph,
there
is
great
glory;
But
when
the
wicked
rise,
men
hide
themselves.
13 28:13
He
that
covereth
his
transgressions
shall
not
prosper;
But
whoso
confesseth
and
forsaketh
them
shall
obtain
mercy.
14 28:14
Happy
is
the
man
that
feareth
alway;
But
he
that
hardeneth
his
heart
shall
fall
into
mischief.
15 28:15
As
a
roaring
lion,
and
a
ranging
bear,
So
is
a
wicked
ruler
over
a
poor
people.
16 28:16
The
prince
that
lacketh
understanding
is
also
a
great
oppressor;
But
he
that
hateth
covetousness
shall
prolong
his
days.
17 28:17
A
man
that
is
laden
with
the
blood
of
any
person
Shall
flee
unto
the
pit;
let
no
man
stay
him.
18 28:18
Whoso
walketh
uprightly
shall
be
delivered;
But
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways
shall
fall
at
once.
19 28:19
He
that
tilleth
his
land
shall
have
plenty
of
bread;
But
he
that
followeth
after
vain
persons
shall
have
poverty
enough.
20 28:20
A
faithful
man
shall
abound
with
blessings;
But
he
that
maketh
haste
to
be
rich
shall
not
be
unpunished.
21 28:21
To
have
respect
of
persons
is
not
good;
Neither
that
a
man
should
transgress
for
a
piece
of
bread.
22 28:22
He
that
hath
an
evil
eye
hasteth
after
riches,
And
knoweth
not
that
want
shall
come
upon
him.
23 28:23
He
that
rebuketh
a
man
shall
afterward
find
more
favor
Than
he
that
flattereth
with
the
tongue.
24 28:24
Whoso
robbeth
his
father
or
his
mother,
and
saith,
It
is
no
transgression,
The
same
is
the
companion
of
a
destroyer.
25 28:25
He
that
is
of
a
greedy
spirit
stirreth
up
strife;
But
he
that
putteth
his
trust
in
Jehovah
shall
be
made
fat.
26 28:26
He
that
trusteth
in
his
own
heart
is
a
fool;
But
whoso
walketh
wisely,
he
shall
be
delivered.
27 28:27
He
that
giveth
unto
the
poor
shall
not
lack;
But
he
that
hideth
his
eyes
shall
have
many
a
curse.
28 28:28
When
the
wicked
rise,
men
hide
themselves;
But
when
they
perish,
the
righteous
increase.
291 29:1
He
that
being
often
reproved
hardeneth
his
neck
Shall
suddenly
be
destroyed,
and
that
without
remedy.
2 29:2
When
the
righteous
are
increased,
the
people
rejoice;
But
when
a
wicked
man
beareth
rule,
the
people
sigh.
3 29:3
Whoso
loveth
wisdom
rejoiceth
his
father;
But
he
that
keepeth
company
with
harlots
wasteth
his
substance.
4 29:4
The
king
by
justice
establisheth
the
land;
But
he
that
exacteth
gifts
overthroweth
it.
5 29:5
A
man
that
flattereth
his
neighbor
Spreadeth
a
net
for
his
steps.
6 29:6
In
the
transgression
of
an
evil
man
there
is
a
snare;
But
the
righteous
doth
sing
and
rejoice.
7 29:7
The
righteous
taketh
knowledge
of
the
cause
of
the
poor;
The
wicked
hath
not
understanding
to
know
it.
8 29:8
Scoffers
set
a
city
in
a
flame;
But
wise
men
turn
away
wrath.
9 29:9
If
a
wise
man
hath
a
controversy
with
a
foolish
man,
Whether
he
be
angry
or
laugh,
there
will
be
no
rest.
10 29:10
The
bloodthirsty
hate
him
that
is
perfect;
And
as
for
the
upright,
they
seek
his
life.
11 29:11
A
fool
uttereth
all
his
anger;
But
a
wise
man
keepeth
it
back
and
stilleth
it.
12 29:12
If
a
ruler
hearkeneth
to
falsehood,
All
his
servants
are
wicked.
13 29:13
The
poor
man
and
the
oppressor
meet
together;
Jehovah
lighteneth
the
eyes
of
them
both.
14 29:14
The
king
that
faithfully
judgeth
the
poor,
His
throne
shall
be
established
for
ever.
15 29:15
The
rod
and
reproof
give
wisdom;
But
a
child
left
to
himself
causeth
shame
to
his
mother.
16 29:16
When
the
wicked
are
increased,
transgression
increaseth;
But
the
righteous
shall
look
upon
their
fall.
17 29:17
Correct
thy
son,
and
he
will
give
thee
rest;
Yea,
he
will
give
delight
unto
thy
soul.
18 29:18
Where
there
is
no
vision,
the
people
cast
off
restraint;
But
he
that
keepeth
the
law,
happy
is
he.
19 29:19
A
servant
will
not
be
corrected
by
words;
For
though
he
understand,
he
will
not
give
heed.
20 29:20
Seest
thou
a
man
that
is
hasty
in
his
words?
There
is
more
hope
of
a
fool
than
of
him.
21 29:21
He
that
delicately
bringeth
up
his
servant
from
a
child
Shall
have
him
become
a
son
at
the
last.
22 29:22
An
angry
man
stirreth
up
strife,
And
a
wrathful
man
aboundeth
in
transgression.
23 29:23
A
man’s
pride
shall
bring
him
low;
But
he
that
is
of
a
lowly
spirit
shall
obtain
honor.
24 29:24
Whoso
is
partner
with
a
thief
hateth
his
own
soul;
He
heareth
the
adjuration
and
uttereth
nothing.
25 29:25
The
fear
of
man
bringeth
a
snare;
But
whoso
putteth
his
trust
in
Jehovah
shall
be
safe.
26 29:26
Many
seek
the
ruler’s
favor;
But
a
man’s
judgment
cometh
from
Jehovah.
27 29:27
An
unjust
man
is
an
abomination
to
the
righteous;
And
he
that
is
upright
in
the
way
is
an
abomination
to
the
wicked.
301 30:1
The
words
of
Agur
the
son
of
Jakeh;
the
oracle.
The
man
saith
unto
Ithiel,
unto
Ithiel
and
Ucal:
2 30:2
Surely
I
am
more
brutish
than
any
man,
And
have
not
the
understanding
of
a
man;
3 30:3
And
I
have
not
learned
wisdom,
Neither
have
I
the
knowledge
of
the
Holy
One.
4 30:4
Who
hath
ascended
up
into
heaven,
and
descended?
Who
hath
gathered
the
wind
in
his
fists?
Who
hath
bound
the
waters
in
his
garment?
Who
hath
established
all
the
ends
of
the
earth?
What
is
his
name,
and
what
is
his
son’s
name,
if
thou
knowest?
5 30:5
Every
word
of
God
is
tried:
He
is
a
shield
unto
them
that
take
refuge
in
him.
6 30:6
Add
thou
not
unto
his
words,
Lest
he
reprove
thee,
and
thou
be
found
a
liar.
7 30:7
Two
things
have
I
asked
of
thee;
Deny
me
them
not
before
I
die:
8 30:8
Remove
far
from
me
falsehood
and
lies;
Give
me
neither
poverty
nor
riches;
Feed
me
with
the
food
that
is
needful
for
me:
9 30:9
Lest
I
be
full,
and
deny
thee,
and
say,
Who
is
Jehovah?
Or
lest
I
be
poor,
and
steal,
And
use profanely
the
name
of
my
God.
10 30:10
Slander
not
a
servant
unto
his
master,
Lest
he
curse
thee,
and
thou
be
held
guilty.
11 30:11
There
is
a
generation
that
curse
their
father,
And
bless
not
their
mother.
12 30:12
There
is
a
generation
that
are
pure
in
their
own
eyes,
And
yet
are
not
washed
from
their
filthiness.
13 30:13
There
is
a
generation,
oh
how
lofty
are
their
eyes!
And
their
eyelids
are
lifted
up.
14 30:14
There
is
a
generation
whose
teeth
are
as
swords,
and
their
jaw
teeth
as
knives,
To
devour
the
poor
from
off
the
earth,
and
the
needy
from
among
men.
15 30:15
The
horseleach
hath
two
daughters,
crying,
Give,
give.
There
are
three
things
that
are
never
satisfied,
Yea,
four
that
say
not,
Enough:
16 30:16
Sheol;
and
the
barren
womb;
The
earth
that
is
not
satisfied
with
water;
And
the
fire
that
saith
not,
Enough.
17 30:17
The
eye
that
mocketh
at
his
father,
And
despiseth
to
obey
his
mother,
The
ravens
of
the
valley
shall
pick
it
out,
And
the
young
eagles
shall
eat
it.
18 30:18
There
are
three
things
which
are
too
wonderful
for
me,
Yea,
four
which
I
know
not:
19 30:19
The
way
of
an
eagle
in
the
air;
The
way
of
a
serpent
upon
a
rock;
The
way
of
a
ship
in
the
midst
of
the
sea;
And
the
way
of
a
man
with
a
maiden.
20 30:20
So
is
the
way
of
an
adulterous
woman;
She
eateth,
and
wipeth
her
mouth,
And
saith,
I
have
done
no
wickedness.
21 30:21
For
three
things
the
earth
doth
tremble,
And
for
four,
which
it
cannot
bear:
22 30:22
For
a
servant
when
he
is
king;
And
a
fool
when
he
is
filled
with
food;
23 30:23
For
an
odious
woman
when
she
is
married;
And
a
handmaid
that
is
heir
to
her
mistress.
24 30:24
There
are
four
things
which
are
little
upon
the
earth,
But
they
are
exceeding
wise:
25 30:25
The
ants
are
a
people
not
strong,
Yet
they
provide
their
food
in
the
summer;
26 30:26
The
conies
are
but
a
feeble
folk,
Yet
make
they
their
houses
in
the
rocks;
27 30:27
The
locusts
have
no
king,
Yet
go
they
forth
all
of
them
by
bands;
28 30:28
The
lizard
taketh
hold
with
her
hands,
Yet
is
she
in
kings’
palaces.
29 30:29
There
are
three
things
which
are
stately
in
their
march,
Yea,
four
which
are
stately
in
going:
30 30:30
The
lion,
which
is
mightiest
among
beasts,
And
turneth
not
away
for
any;
31 30:31
The
greyhound;
the he-goat
also;
And
the
king
against
whom
there
is
no
rising
up.
32 30:32
If
thou
hast
done
foolishly
in
lifting
up
thyself,
Or
if
thou
hast
thought
evil,
Lay
thy
hand
upon
thy
mouth.
33 30:33
For
the
churning
of
milk
bringeth
forth
butter,
And
the
wringing
of
the
nose
bringeth
forth
blood;
So
the
forcing
of
wrath
bringeth
forth
strife.
311 31:1
The
words
of
king
Lemuel;
the
oracle
which
his
mother
taught
him.
2 31:2
What,
my
son?
and
what,
O
son
of
my
womb?
And
what,
O
son
of
my
vows?
3 31:3
Give
not
thy
strength
unto
women,
Nor
thy
ways
to
that
which
destroyeth
kings.
4 31:4
It
is
not
for
kings,
O
Lemuel,
it
is
not
for
kings
to
drink
wine;
Nor
for
princes
to
say,
Where
is
strong
drink?
5 31:5
Lest
they
drink,
and
forget
the
law,
And
pervert
the
justice
due
to
any
that
is
afflicted.
6 31:6
Give
strong
drink
unto
him
that
is
ready
to
perish,
And
wine
unto
the
bitter
in
soul:
7 31:7
Let
him
drink,
and
forget
his
poverty,
And
remember
his
misery
no
more.
8 31:8
Open
thy
mouth
for
the
dumb,
In
the
cause
of
all
such
as
are
left
desolate.
9 31:9
Open
thy
mouth,
judge
righteously,
And
minister
justice
to
the
poor
and
needy.
10 31:10
A
worthy
woman
who
can
find?
For
her
price
is
far
above
rubies.
11 31:11
The
heart
of
her
husband
trusteth
in
her,
And
he
shall
have
no
lack
of
gain.
12 31:12
She
doeth
him
good
and
not
evil
All
the
days
of
her
life.
13 31:13
She
seeketh
wool
and
flax,
And
worketh
willingly
with
her
hands.
14 31:14
She
is
like
the merchant-ships;
She
bringeth
her
bread
from
afar.
15 31:15
She
riseth
also
while
it
is
yet
night,
And
giveth
food
to
her
household,
And
their
task
to
her
maidens.
16 31:16
She
considereth
a
field,
and
buyeth
it;
With
the
fruit
of
her
hands
she
planteth
a
vineyard.
17 31:17
She
girdeth
her
loins
with
strength,
And
maketh
strong
her
arms.
18 31:18
She
perceiveth
that
her
merchandise
is
profitable;
Her
lamp
goeth
not
out
by
night.
19 31:19
She
layeth
her
hands
to
the
distaff,
And
her
hands
hold
the
spindle.
20 31:20
She
stretcheth
out
her
hand
to

all.
