Prv3:21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Prv3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Prv3:23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
Prv3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Prv3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
Prv3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Prv3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Prv3:28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Prv3:29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
Prv3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
Prv3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
Prv3:32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
Prv3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Prv3:34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
Prv3:35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Prv4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
Prv4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
Prv4:3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
Prv4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
Prv4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
Prv4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
Prv4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Prv4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
Prv4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Prv4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
Prv4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
Prv4:12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Prv4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
Prv4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
Prv4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Prv4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Prv4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
Prv4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Prv4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
Prv4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Prv4:21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
Prv4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Prv4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Prv4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
Prv4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Prv4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Prv4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
Prv5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
Prv5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Prv5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Prv5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Prv5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Prv5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Prv5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Prv5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Prv5:9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Prv5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
Prv5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
Prv5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
Prv5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Prv5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Prv5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Prv5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Prv5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Prv5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Prv5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Prv5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Prv5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Prv5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
Prv5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Prv6:1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
Prv6:2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Prv6:3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
Prv6:4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
Prv6:5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Prv6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Prv6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Prv6:8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
Prv6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Prv6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Prv6:11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
Prv6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
Prv6:13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
Prv6:14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
Prv6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Prv6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Prv6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Prv6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Prv6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Prv6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Prv6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
