the wicked.
Prv30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
Prv30:2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
Prv30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
Prv30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Prv30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Prv30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Prv30:7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
Prv30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Prv30:9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Prv30:10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
Prv30:11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Prv30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Prv30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Prv30:14 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.
Prv30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
Prv30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Prv30:17 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.
Prv30:18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
Prv30:19 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 maid.
Prv30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
Prv30:21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
Prv30:22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
Prv30:23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Prv30:24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
Prv30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
Prv30:26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
Prv30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
Prv30:28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
Prv30:29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
Prv30:30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
Prv30:31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
Prv30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
Prv30:33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
Prv31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
Prv31:2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
Prv31:3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
Prv31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Prv31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Prv31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Prv31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Prv31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Prv31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Prv31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Prv31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Prv31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Prv31:13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
Prv31:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
Prv31:15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Prv31:16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
Prv31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
Prv31:18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
Prv31:19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
Prv31:20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
Prv31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
Prv31:22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Prv31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
Prv31:24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Prv31:25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
Prv31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Prv31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Prv31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Prv31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Prv31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Prv31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Ecclesiastes
Eccl1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Eccl1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Eccl1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
Eccl1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Eccl1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
Eccl1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
Eccl1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
Eccl1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear
