Proverbs

Pro 1:1 KJV - The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

 

Pro 1:2 KJV - To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

 

Pro 1:3 KJV - To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

 

Pro 1:4 KJV - To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

 

Pro 1:5 KJV - A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

 

Pro 1:6 KJV - To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

 

Pro 1:7 KJV - The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 

Pro 1:8 KJV - My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

 

Pro 1:9 KJV - For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

 

Pro 1:10 KJV - My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

 

Pro 1:11 KJV - If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

 

Pro 1:12 KJV - Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

 

Pro 1:13 KJV - We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

 

Pro 1:14 KJV - Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

 

Pro 1:15 KJV - My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

 

Pro 1:16 KJV - For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

 

Pro 1:17 KJV - Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

 

Pro 1:18 KJV - And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives.

 

Pro 1:19 KJV - So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

 

Pro 1:20 KJV - Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

 

Pro 1:21 KJV - She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, [saying],

 

Pro 1:22 KJV - How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

 

Pro 1:23 KJV - Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

 

Pro 1:24 KJV - Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

 

Pro 1:25 KJV - But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

 

Pro 1:26 KJV - I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

 

Pro 1:27 KJV - When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

 

Pro 1:28 KJV - Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

 

Pro 1:29 KJV - For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

 

Pro 1:30 KJV - They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

 

Pro 1:31 KJV - Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

 

Pro 1:32 KJV - For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

 

Pro 1:33 KJV - But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Pro 2:1 KJV - My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

 

Pro 2:2 KJV - So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding;

 

Pro 2:3 KJV - Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;

 

Pro 2:4 KJV - If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;

 

Pro 2:5 KJV - Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

 

Pro 2:6 KJV - For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.

 

Pro 2:7 KJV - He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

 

Pro 2:8 KJV - He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

 

Pro 2:9 KJV - Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [yea], every good path.

 

Pro 2:10 KJV - When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

 

Pro 2:11 KJV - Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

 

Pro 2:12 KJV - To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the man that speaketh froward things;

 

Pro 2:13 KJV - Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

 

Pro 2:14 KJV - Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

 

Pro 2:15 KJV - Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their paths:

 

Pro 2:16 KJV - To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;

 

Pro 2:17 KJV - Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

 

Pro 2:18 KJV - For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

 

Pro 2:19 KJV - None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

 

Pro 2:20 KJV - That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep the paths of the righteous.

 

Pro 2:21 KJV - For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

 

Pro 2:22 KJV - But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Pro 3:1 KJV - My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

 

Pro 3:2 KJV - For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

 

Pro 3:3 KJV - Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

 

Pro 3:4 KJV - So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

 

Pro 3:5 KJV - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

 

Pro 3:6 KJV - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

 

Pro 3:7 KJV - Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

 

Pro 3:8 KJV - It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

 

Pro 3:9 KJV - Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

 

Pro 3:10 KJV - So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

 

Pro 3:11 KJV - My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

 

Pro 3:12 KJV - For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.

 

Pro 3:13 KJV - Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.

 

Pro 3:14 KJV - For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

 

Pro 3:15 KJV - She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

 

Pro 3:16 KJV - Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.

 

Pro 3:17 KJV - Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.

 

Pro 3:18 KJV - She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.

 

Pro 3:19 KJV - The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

 

Pro 3:20 KJV - By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

 

Pro 3:21 KJV - My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

 

Pro 3:22 KJV - So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

 

Pro 3:23 KJV - Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

 

Pro 3:24 KJV - When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

 

Pro 3:25 KJV - Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

 

Pro 3:26 KJV - For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

 

Pro 3:27 KJV - Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do [it].

 

Pro 3:28 KJV - Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

 

Pro 3:29 KJV - Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

 

Pro 3:30 KJV - Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

 

Pro 3:31 KJV - Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

 

Pro 3:32 KJV - For the froward [is] abomination to the LORD: but his secret [is] with the righteous.

 

Pro 3:33 KJV - The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

 

Pro 3:34 KJV - Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

 

Pro 3:35 KJV - The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Pro 4:1 KJV - Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

 

Pro 4:2 KJV - For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

 

Pro 4:3 KJV - For I was my father's son, tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.

 

Pro 4:4 KJV - He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

 

Pro 4:5 KJV - Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

 

Pro 4:6 KJV - Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

 

Pro 4:7 KJV - Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

 

Pro 4:8 KJV - Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

 

Pro 4:9 KJV - She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

 

Pro 4:10 KJV - Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

 

Pro 4:11 KJV - I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

 

Pro 4:12 KJV - When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

 

Pro 4:13 KJV - Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her; for she [is] thy life.

 

Pro 4:14 KJV - Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil [men].

 

Pro 4:15 KJV - Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

 

Pro 4:16 KJV - For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause [some] to fall.

 

Pro 4:17 KJV - For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

 

Pro 4:18 KJV - But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

 

Pro 4:19 KJV - The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

 

Pro 4:20 KJV - My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

 

Pro 4:21 KJV - Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

 

Pro 4:22 KJV - For they [are] life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

 

Pro 4:23 KJV - Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.

 

Pro 4:24 KJV - Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

 

Pro 4:25 KJV - Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

 

Pro 4:26 KJV - Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

 

Pro 4:27 KJV - Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Pro 5:1 KJV - My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:

 

Pro 5:2 KJV - That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge.

 

Pro 5:3 KJV - For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:

 

Pro 5:4 KJV - But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

 

Pro 5:5 KJV - Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

 

Pro 5:6 KJV - Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].

 

Pro 5:7 KJV - Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

 

Pro 5:8 KJV - Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

 

Pro 5:9 KJV - Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

 

Pro 5:10 KJV - Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger;

 

Pro 5:11 KJV - And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

 

Pro 5:12 KJV - And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

 

Pro 5:13 KJV - And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

 

Pro 5:14 KJV - I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

 

Pro 5:15 KJV - Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

 

Pro 5:16 KJV - Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets.

 

Pro 5:17 KJV - Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

 

Pro 5:18 KJV - Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

 

Pro 5:19 KJV - [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.

 

Pro 5:20 KJV - And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

 

Pro 5:21 KJV - For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

 

Pro 5:22 KJV - His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

 

Pro 5:23 KJV - He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Pro 6:1 KJV - My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [if] thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

 

Pro 6:2 KJV - Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

 

Pro 6:3 KJV - 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.

 

Pro 6:4 KJV - Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

 

Pro 6:5 KJV - Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

 

Pro 6:6 KJV - Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

 

Pro 6:7 KJV - Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

 

Pro 6:8 KJV - Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.

 

Pro 6:9 KJV - How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

 

Pro 6:10 KJV - [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

 

Pro 6:11 KJV - So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

 

Pro 6:12 KJV - A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

 

Pro 6:13 KJV - He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

 

Pro 6:14 KJV - Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

 

Pro 6:15 KJV - Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

 

Pro 6:16 KJV - These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:

 

Pro 6:17 KJV - A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

 

Pro 6:18 KJV - An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

 

Pro 6:19 KJV - A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

 

Pro 6:20 KJV - My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

 

Pro 6:21 KJV - Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.

 

Pro 6:22 KJV - When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

 

Pro 6:23 KJV - For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:

 

Pro 6:24 KJV - To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

 

Pro 6:25 KJV - Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

 

Pro 6:26 KJV - For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

 

Pro 6:27 KJV - Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

 

Pro 6:28 KJV - Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

 

Pro 6:29 KJV - So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

 

Pro 6:30 KJV - [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

 

Pro 6:31 KJV - But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

 

Pro 6:32 KJV - [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

 

Pro 6:33 KJV - A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

 

Pro 6:34 KJV - For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

 

Pro 6:35 KJV - He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Pro 7:1 KJV - My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

 

Pro 7:2 KJV - Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

 

Pro 7:3 KJV - Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

 

Pro 7:4 KJV - Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman:

 

Pro 7:5 KJV - That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words.

 

Pro 7:6 KJV - For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

 

Pro 7:7 KJV - And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

 

Pro 7:8 KJV - Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

 

Pro 7:9 KJV - In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

 

Pro 7:10 KJV - And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

 

Pro 7:11 KJV - (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

 

Pro 7:12 KJV - Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

 

Pro 7:13 KJV - So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him,

 

Pro 7:14 KJV - [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

 

Pro 7:15 KJV - Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

 

Pro 7:16 KJV - I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.

 

Pro 7:17 KJV - I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

 

Pro 7:18 KJV - Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

 

Pro 7:19 KJV - For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey:

 

Pro 7:20 KJV - He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed.

 

Pro 7:21 KJV - With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

 

Pro 7:22 KJV - He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

 

Pro 7:23 KJV - Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life.

 

Pro 7:24 KJV - Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

 

Pro 7:25 KJV - Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

 

Pro 7:26 KJV - For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her.

 

Pro 7:27 KJV - Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Pro 8:1 KJV - Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

 

Pro 8:2 KJV - She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

 

Pro 8:3 KJV - She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

 

Pro 8:4 KJV - Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.

 

Pro 8:5 KJV - O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

 

Pro 8:6 KJV - Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.

 

Pro 8:7 KJV - For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.

 

Pro 8:8 KJV - All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.

 

Pro 8:9 KJV - They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

 

Pro 8:10 KJV - Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

 

Pro 8:11 KJV - For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

 

Pro 8:12 KJV - I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

 

Pro 8:13 KJV - The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

 

Pro 8:14 KJV - Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.

 

Pro 8:15 KJV - By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

 

Pro 8:16 KJV - By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.

 

Pro 8:17 KJV - I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

 

Pro 8:18 KJV - Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and righteousness.

 

Pro 8:19 KJV - My fruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

 

Pro 8:20 KJV - I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

 

Pro 8:21 KJV - That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

 

Pro 8:22 KJV - The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

 

Pro 8:23 KJV - I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

 

Pro 8:24 KJV - When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.

 

Pro 8:25 KJV - Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

 

Pro 8:26 KJV - While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

 

Pro 8:27 KJV - When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

 

Pro 8:28 KJV - When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

 

Pro 8:29 KJV - When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

 

Pro 8:30 KJV - Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;

 

Pro 8:31 KJV - Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.

 

Pro 8:32 KJV - Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways.

 

Pro 8:33 KJV - Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

 

Pro 8:34 KJV - Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

 

Pro 8:35 KJV - For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

 

Pro 8:36 KJV - But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Pro 9:1 KJV - Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

 

Pro 9:2 KJV - She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

 

Pro 9:3 KJV - She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

 

Pro 9:4 KJV - Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

 

Pro 9:5 KJV - Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled.

 

Pro 9:6 KJV - Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

 

Pro 9:7 KJV - He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot.

 

Pro 9:8 KJV - Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

 

Pro 9:9 KJV - Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.

 

Pro 9:10 KJV - The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

 

Pro 9:11 KJV - For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

 

Pro 9:12 KJV - If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear [it].

 

Pro 9:13 KJV - A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing.

 

Pro 9:14 KJV - For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

 

Pro 9:15 KJV - To call passengers who go right on their ways:

 

Pro 9:16 KJV - Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: and [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

 

Pro 9:17 KJV - Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant.

 

Pro 9:18 KJV - But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] her guests [are] in the depths of hell.

Pro 10:1 KJV - The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.

 

Pro 10:2 KJV - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
