Pro 01:01 ¶ The proverbs <04912> of Solomon <08010> the son


<01121> of David <01732>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>;

Pro 01:02 To know <03045> (8800) wisdom <02451> and instruction
<04148>; to perceive <0995> (8687) the words < 0561> of
understanding <0998>;

Pro 01:03 To receive <03947> (8800) the instruction < 04148> of
wisdom <07919> (8687), justice <06664>, and judgment <04941>,
and equity <04339>;

Pro 01:04 To give <05414> (8800) subtilty <06195> to the simple
<06612>, to the young man <05288> knowledge < 01847> and
discretion <04209>.

Pro 01:05 A wise <02450> man will hear <08085> (8799), and will
increase <03254> (8686) learning <03948>; and a man of
understanding <0995> (8737) shall attain <07069> (8799) unto
wise counsels <08458>:

Pro 01:06 To understand <0995> (8687) a proverb < 04912>, and
the interpretation <04426>; the words <01697> of the wise
<02450>, and their dark sayings <02420>.

Pro 01:07 ¶ The fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> is the
beginning <07225> of knowledge <01847>: but fools < 0191> despise
<0936> (8804) wisdom <02451> and instruction < 04148>.

Pro 01:08 My son <01121>, hear <08085> (8798) the instruction
<04148> of thy father <01>, and forsake <05203> (8799) not the
law <08451> of thy mother <0517>:

Pro 01:09 For they shall be an ornament <03880> of grace
<02580> unto thy head <07218>, and chains < 06060> about thy neck
<01621>.

Pro 01:10 ¶ My son <01121>, if sinners <02400> entice <06601>
(8762) thee, consent <014> (8799) thou not.

Pro 01:11 If they say <0559> (8799), Come <03212> (8798) with
us, let us lay wait <0693> (8799) for blood <01818>, let us lurk
<06845> (8799) privily for the innocent <05355> without cause
<02600>:

Pro 01:12 Let us swallow them up <01104> (8799) alive < 02416>
as the grave <07585>; and whole <08549>, as those that go down
<03381> (8802) into the pit <0953>:

Pro 01:13 We shall find <04672> (8799) all precious < 03368>
substance <01952>, we shall fill <04390> (8762) our houses
<01004> with spoil <07998>:

Pro 01:14 Cast <05307> (8686) in thy lot <01486> among <08432>
us; let us all have one <0259> purse <03599>:

Pro 01:15 My son <01121>, walk <03212> (8799) not thou in the
way <01870> with them; refrain <04513> (8798) thy foot <07272>
from their path <05410>:

Pro 01:16 For their feet <07272> run <07323> (8799) to evil
<07451>, and make haste <04116> (8762) to shed < 08210> (8800)
blood <01818>.

Pro 01:17 Surely in vain <02600> the net <07568> is spread
<02219> (8794) in the sight <05869> of any bird < 01167> <03671>.

Pro 01:18 And they lay wait <0693> (8799) for their own blood
<01818>; they lurk privily <06845> (8799) for their own lives
<05315>.

Pro 01:19 So are the ways <0734> of every one that is greedy
<01214> (8802) of gain <01215>; which taketh away < 03947> (8799)
the life <05315> of the owners <01167> thereof.

Pro 01:20 ¶ Wisdom <02454> crieth <07442> (8799) without <02351>;
she uttereth <05414> (8799) her voice <06963> in the streets
<07339>:

Pro 01:21 She crieth <07121> (8799) in the chief place < 07218>
of concourse <01993> (8802), in the openings <06607> of the
gates <08179>: in the city <05892> she uttereth < 0559> (8799)
her words <0561>, saying,

Pro 01:22 How long, ye simple ones <06612>, will ye love <0157>
(8799) simplicity <06612>? and the scorners <03887> (8801)
delight <02530> (8804) in their scorning <03944>, and fools
<03684> hate <08130> (8799) knowledge <01847>?

Pro 01:23 Turn <07725> (8799) you at my reproof < 08433>: behold,
I will pour out <05042> (8686) my spirit <07307> unto you, I
will make known <03045> (8686) my words <01697> unto you.

Pro 01:24 Because I have called <07121> (8804), and ye refused
<03985> (8762); I have stretched out <05186> (8804) my hand
<03027>, and no man regarded <07181> (8688);

Pro 01:25 But ye have set at nought <06544> (8799) all my
counsel <06098>, and would <014> (8804) none of my reproof
<08433>:

Pro 01:26 I also will laugh <07832> (8799) at your calamity
<0343>; I will mock <03932> (8799) when your fear < 06343> cometh
<0935> (8800);

Pro 01:27 When your fear <06343> cometh <0935> (8800) as
desolation <07722> (8675) <07584>, and your destruction <0343>
cometh <0857> (8799) as a whirlwind <05492>; when distress
<06869> and anguish <06695> cometh <0935> (8800) upon you.

Pro 01:28 Then shall they call <07121> (8799) upon me, but I
will not answer <06030> (8799); they shall seek me early <07836>
(8762), but they shall not find <04672> (8799) me:

Pro 01:29 For that they hated <08130> (8804) knowledge < 01847>,
and did not choose <0977> (8804) the fear <03374> of the LORD
<03068>:

Pro 01:30 They would <014> (8804) none of my counsel < 06098>:
they despised <05006> (8804) all my reproof <08433>.

Pro 01:31 Therefore shall they eat <0398> (8799) of the fruit
<06529> of their own way <01870>, and be filled < 07646> (8799)
with their own devices <04156>.

Pro 01:32 For the turning away <04878> of the simple < 06612>
shall slay <02026> (8799) them, and the prosperity < 07962> of
fools <03684> shall destroy <06> (8762) them.

Pro 01:33 But whoso hearkeneth <08085> (8802) unto me shall
dwell <07931> (8799) safely <0983>, and shall be quiet <07599>
(8768) from fear <06343> of evil <07451>.

Pro 02:01 ¶ My son <01121>, if thou wilt receive < 03947> (8799)
my words <0561>, and hide <06845> (8799) my commandments <04687>
with thee;

Pro 02:02 So that thou incline <07181> (8687) thine ear <0241>
unto wisdom <02451>, and apply <05186> (8686) thine heart
<03820> to understanding <08394>;

Pro 02:03 Yea, if thou criest <07121> (8799) after knowledge
<0998>, and liftest up <05414> (8799) thy voice < 06963> for
understanding <08394>;

Pro 02:04 If thou seekest <01245> (8762) her as silver < 03701>,
and searchest <02664> (8799) for her as for hid treasures
<04301>;

Pro 02:05 Then shalt thou understand <0995> (8799) the fear
<03374> of the LORD <03068>, and find <04672> (8799) the
knowledge <01847> of God <0430>.

Pro 02:06 For the LORD <03068> giveth <05414> (8799) wisdom
<02451>: out of his mouth <06310> cometh knowledge <01847> and
understanding <08394>.

Pro 02:07 He layeth up <06845> (8799) (8675) <06845> (8804)
sound wisdom <08454> for the righteous <03477>: he is a buckler
<04043> to them that walk <01980> (8802) uprightly <08537>.

Pro 02:08 He keepeth <05341> (8800) the paths <0734> of
judgment <04941>, and preserveth <08104> (8799) the way <01870>
of his saints <02623>.

Pro 02:09 Then shalt thou understand <0995> (8799)
righteousness <06664>, and judgment <04941>, and equity <04339>;
yea, every good <02896> path <04570>.

Pro 02:10 ¶ When wisdom <02451> entereth <0935> (8799) into
thine heart <03820>, and knowledge <01847> is pleasant <05276>
(8799) unto thy soul <05315>;

Pro 02:11 Discretion <04209> shall preserve <08104> (8799) thee,
understanding <08394> shall keep <05341> (8799) thee:

Pro 02:12 To deliver <05337> (8687) thee from the way < 01870>
of the evil <07451> man, from the man <0376> that speaketh
<01696> (8764) froward things <08419>;

Pro 02:13 Who leave <05800> (8802) the paths <0734> of
uprightness <03476>, to walk <03212> (8800) in the ways <01870>
of darkness <02822>;

Pro 02:14 Who rejoice <08056> to do <06213> (8800) evil <07451>,
and delight <01523> (8799) in the frowardness <08419> of the
wicked <07451>;

Pro 02:15 Whose ways <0734> are crooked <06141>, and they
froward <03868> (8737) in their paths <04570>:

Pro 02:16 To deliver <05337> (8687) thee from the strange
<02114> (8801) woman <0802>, even from the stranger <05237>
which flattereth <02505> (8689) with her words <0561>;

Pro 02:17 Which forsaketh <05800> (8802) the guide < 0441> of
her youth <05271>, and forgetteth <07911> (8804) the covenant
<01285> of her God <0430>.

Pro 02:18 For her house <01004> inclineth <07743> (8804) unto
death <04194>, and her paths <04570> unto the dead <07496>.

Pro 02:19 None that go <0935> (8802) unto her return again
<07725> (8799), neither take they hold <05381> (8686) of the
paths <0734> of life <02416>.

Pro 02:20 That thou mayest walk <03212> (8799) in the way
<01870> of good <02896> men, and keep <08104> (8799) the paths
<0734> of the righteous <06662>.

Pro 02:21 For the upright <03477> shall dwell <07931> (8799) in
the land <0776>, and the perfect <08549> shall remain <03498>
(8735) in it.

Pro 02:22 But the wicked <07563> shall be cut off < 03772>
(8735) from the earth <0776>, and the transgressors < 0898>
(8802) shall be rooted out <05255> (8799) of it.

Pro 03:01 ¶ My son <01121>, forget <07911> (8799) not my law
<08451>; but let thine heart <03820> keep < 05341> (8799) my
commandments <04687>:

Pro 03:02 For length <0753> of days <03117>, and long <08141>
life <02416>, and peace <07965>, shall they add < 03254> (8686)
to thee.

Pro 03:03 Let not mercy <02617> and truth <0571> forsake
<05800> (8799) thee: bind <07194> (8798) them about thy neck
<01621>; write <03789> (8798) them upon the table < 03871> of
thine heart <03820>:

Pro 03:04 So shalt thou find <04672> (8798) favour < 02580> and
good <02896> understanding <07922> in the sight < 05869> of God
<0430> and man <0120>.

Pro 03:05 Trust <0982> (8798) in the LORD <03068> with all
thine heart <03820>; and lean <08172> (8735) not unto thine own
understanding <0998>.

Pro 03:06 In all thy ways <01870> acknowledge <03045> (8798)
him, and he shall direct <03474> (8762) thy paths < 0734>.

Pro 03:07 ¶ Be not wise <02450> in thine own eyes < 05869>: fear
<03372> (8798) the LORD <03068>, and depart < 05493> (8798) from
evil <07451>.

Pro 03:08 It shall be health <07500> to thy navel < 08270>, and
marrow <08250> to thy bones <06106>.

Pro 03:09 Honour <03513> (8761) the LORD <03068> with thy
substance <01952>, and with the firstfruits <07225> of all thine
increase <08393>:

Pro 03:10 So shall thy barns <0618> be filled <04390> (8735)
with plenty <07647>, and thy presses <03342> shall burst out
<06555> (8799) with new wine <08492>.

Pro 03:11 My son <01121>, despise <03988> (8799) not the
chastening <04148> of the LORD <03068>; neither be weary <06973>
(8799) of his correction <08433>:

Pro 03:12 For whom the LORD <03068> loveth <0157> (8799) he
correcteth <03198> (8686); even as a father <01> the son <01121>
in whom he delighteth <07521> (8799).

Pro 03:13 ¶ Happy <0835> is the man <0120> that findeth <04672>
(8804) wisdom <02451>, and the man <0120> that getteth <06329>
(8686) understanding <08394>.

Pro 03:14 For the merchandise <05504> of it is better < 02896>
than the merchandise <05505> of silver <03701>, and the gain
<08393> thereof than fine gold <02742>.

Pro 03:15 She is more precious <03368> than rubies < 06443>: and
all the things thou canst desire <02656> are not to be compared
<07737> (8799) unto her.

Pro 03:16 Length <0753> of days <03117> is in her right hand
<03225>; and in her left hand <08040> riches < 06239> and honour
<03519>.

Pro 03:17 Her ways <01870> are ways <01870> of pleasantness
<05278>, and all her paths <05410> are peace < 07965>.

Pro 03:18 She is a tree <06086> of life <02416> to them that
lay hold <02388> (8688) upon her: and happy <0833> (8794) is
every one that retaineth <08551> (8802) her.

Pro 03:19 The LORD <03068> by wisdom <02451> hath founded
<03245> (8804) the earth <0776>; by understanding < 08394> hath
he established <03559> (8790) the heavens <08064>.

Pro 03:20 By his knowledge <01847> the depths <08415> are
broken up <01234> (8738), and the clouds <07834> drop down
<07491> (8799) the dew <02919>.

Pro 03:21 ¶ My son <01121>, let not them depart < 03868> (8799)
from thine eyes <05869>: keep <05341> (8798) sound wisdom
<08454> and discretion <04209>:

Pro 03:22 So shall they be life <02416> unto thy soul < 05315>,
and grace <02580> to thy neck <01621>.

Pro 03:23 Then shalt thou walk <03212> (8799) in thy way
<01870> safely <0983>, and thy foot <07272> shall not stumble
<05062> (8799).

Pro 03:24 When thou liest down <07901> (8799), thou shalt not
be afraid <06342> (8799): yea, thou shalt lie down < 07901>
(8804), and thy sleep <08142> shall be sweet <06149> (8804).

Pro 03:25 Be not afraid <03372> (8799) of sudden < 06597> fear
<06343>, neither of the desolation <07722> of the wicked <07563>,
when it cometh <0935> (8799).

Pro 03:26 For the LORD <03068> shall be thy confidence < 03689>,
and shall keep <08104> (8804) thy foot <07272> from being taken
<03921>.

Pro 03:27 ¶ Withhold <04513> (8799) not good <02896> from them
to whom it is due <01167>, when it is in the power < 0410> of
thine hand <03027> to do <06213> (8800) it.

Pro 03:28 Say <0559> (8799) not unto thy neighbour < 07453>, Go
<03212> (8798), and come again <07725> (8798), and to morrow
<04279> I will give <05414> (8799); when thou hast <03426> it by
thee.

Pro 03:29 Devise <02790> (8799) not evil <07451> against thy
neighbour <07453>, seeing he dwelleth <03427> (8802) securely
<0983> by thee.

Pro 03:30 Strive <07378> (8799) not with a man <0120> without
cause <02600>, if he have done <01580> (8804) thee no harm
<07451>.

Pro 03:31 Envy <07065> (8762) thou not the oppressor < 0376>
<02555>, and choose <0977> (8799) none of his ways <01870>.

Pro 03:32 For the froward <03868> (8737) is abomination <08441>
to the LORD <03068>: but his secret <05475> is with the
righteous <03477>.

Pro 03:33 The curse <03994> of the LORD <03068> is in the house
<01004> of the wicked <07563>: but he blesseth < 01288> (8762)
the habitation <05116> of the just <06662>.

Pro 03:34 Surely he scorneth <03887> (8686) the scorners
<03887> (8801): but he giveth <05414> (8799) grace <02580> unto
the lowly <06035> (8675) <06041>.

Pro 03:35 The wise <02450> shall inherit <05157> (8799) glory
<03519>: but shame <07036> shall be the promotion < 07311> (8688)
of fools <03684>.

Pro 04:01 ¶ Hear <08085> (8798), ye children <01121>, the
instruction <04148> of a father <01>, and attend < 07181> (8685)
to know <03045> (8800) understanding <0998>.

Pro 04:02 For I give <05414> (8804) you good <02896> doctrine
<03948>, forsake <05800> (8799) ye not my law < 08451>.

Pro 04:03 For I was my father’s <01> son <01121>, tender
<07390> and only <03173> beloved in the sight < 06440> of my
mother <0517>.

Pro 04:04 He taught <03384> (8686) me also, and said < 0559>
(8799) unto me, Let thine heart <03820> retain <08551> (8799) my
words <01697>: keep <08104> (8798) my commandments <04687>, and
live <02421> (8798).

Pro 04:05 Get <07069> (8798) wisdom <02451>, get < 07069> (8798)
understanding <0998>: forget <07911> (8799) it not; neither
decline <05186> (8799) from the words <0561> of my mouth <06310>.

Pro 04:06 Forsake <05800> (8799) her not, and she shall
preserve <08104> (8799) thee: love <0157> (8798) her, and she
shall keep <05341> (8799) thee.

Pro 04:07 Wisdom <02451> is the principal thing < 07225>;
therefore get <07069> (8798) wisdom <02451>: and with all thy
getting <07075> get understanding <0998>.

Pro 04:08 Exalt <05549> (8769) her, and she shall promote
<07311> (8787) thee: she shall bring thee to honour < 03513>
(8762), when thou dost embrace <02263> (8762) her.

Pro 04:09 She shall give <05414> (8799) to thine head < 07218>
an ornament <03880> of grace <02580>: a crown < 05850> of glory
<08597> shall she deliver <04042> (8762) to thee.

Pro 04:10 Hear <08085> (8798), O my son <01121>, and receive
<03947> (8798) my sayings <0561>; and the years < 08141> of thy
life <02416> shall be many <07235> (8799).

Pro 04:11 I have taught <03384> (8689) thee in the way < 01870>
of wisdom <02451>; I have led <01869> (8689) thee in right
<03476> paths <04570>.

Pro 04:12 When thou goest <03212> (8800), thy steps < 06806>
shall not be straitened <03334> (8799); and when thou runnest
<07323> (8799), thou shalt not stumble <03782> (8735).

Pro 04:13 Take fast hold <02388> (8685) of instruction < 04148>;
let her not go <07503> (8686): keep <05341> (8798) her; for she
is thy life <02416>.

Pro 04:14 ¶ Enter <0935> (8799) not into the path < 0734> of the
wicked <07563>, and go <0833> (8762) not in the way <01870> of
evil <07451> men.

Pro 04:15 Avoid <06544> (8798) it, pass <05674> (8799) not by
it, turn <07847> (8798) from it, and pass away <05674> (8798).

Pro 04:16 For they sleep <03462> (8799) not, except they have
done mischief <07489> (8686); and their sleep <08142> is taken
away <01497> (8738), unless they cause some to fall < 03782>
(8686) (8675) <03782> (8799).

Pro 04:17 For they eat <03898> (8804) the bread < 03899> of
wickedness <07562>, and drink <08354> (8799) the wine <03196> of
violence <02555>.

Pro 04:18 But the path <0734> of the just <06662> is as the
shining <05051> light <0216>, that shineth < 0215> (8804) more
<01980> (8802) and more unto the perfect <03559> (8737) day
<03117>.

Pro 04:19 The way <01870> of the wicked <07563> is as darkness
<0653>: they know <03045> (8804) not at what they stumble
<03782> (8735).

Pro 04:20 ¶ My son <01121>, attend <07181> (8685) to my words
<01697>; incline <05186> (8685) thine ear <0241> unto my sayings
<0561>.

Pro 04:21 Let them not depart <03868> (8686) from thine eyes
<05869>; keep <08104> (8798) them in the midst < 08432> of thine
heart <03824>.

Pro 04:22 For they are life <02416> unto those that find
<04672> (8802) them, and health <04832> to all their flesh
<01320>.

Pro 04:23 Keep <05341> (8798) thy heart <03820> with all
diligence <04929>; for out of it are the issues < 08444> of life
<02416>.

Pro 04:24 Put away <05493> (8685) from thee a froward < 06143>
mouth <06310>, and perverse <03891> lips <08193> put far <07368>
(8685) from thee.

Pro 04:25 Let thine eyes <05869> look <05027> (8686) right on
<05227>, and let thine eyelids <06079> look straight <03474>
(8686) before thee.

Pro 04:26 Ponder <06424> (8761) the path <04570> of thy feet
<07272>, and let all thy ways <01870> be established <03559>
(8735).

Pro 04:27 Turn <05186> (8799) not to the right hand < 03225> nor
to the left <08040>: remove <05493> (8685) thy foot <07272> from
evil <07451>.

Pro 05:01 ¶ My son <01121>, attend <07181> (8685) unto my wisdom
<02451>, and bow <05186> (8685) thine ear <0241> to my
understanding <08394>:

Pro 05:02 That thou mayest regard <08104> (8800) discretion
<04209>, and that thy lips <08193> may keep < 05341> (8799)
knowledge <01847>.

Pro 05:03 For the lips <08193> of a strange woman < 02114>
(8801) drop <05197> (8799) as an honeycomb <05317>, and her
mouth <02441> is smoother <02509> than oil < 08081>:

Pro 05:04 But her end <0319> is bitter <04751> as wormwood
<03939>, sharp <02299> as a twoedged <06310> sword <02719>.

Pro 05:05 Her feet <07272> go down <03381> (8802) to death
<04194>; her steps <06806> take hold <08551> (8799) on hell
<07585>.

Pro 05:06 Lest thou shouldest ponder <06424> (8762) the path
<0734> of life <02416>, her ways <04570> are moveable <05128>
(8804), that thou canst not know <03045> (8799) them.

Pro 05:07 Hear <08085> (8798) me now therefore, O ye children
<01121>, and depart <05493> (8799) not from the words <0561> of
my mouth <06310>.

Pro 05:08 Remove <07368> <00> thy way <01870> far <07368>
(8685) from her, and come not nigh <07126> (8799) the door
<06607> of her house <01004>:

Pro 05:09 Lest thou give <05414> (8799) thine honour < 01935>
unto others <0312>, and thy years <08141> unto the cruel <0394>:

Pro 05:10 Lest strangers <02114> (8801) be filled < 07646>
(8799) with thy wealth <03581>; and thy labours < 06089> be in
the house <01004> of a stranger <05237>;

Pro 05:11 And thou mourn <05098> (8804) at the last < 0319>,
when thy flesh <01320> and thy body <07607> are consumed <03615>
(8800),

Pro 05:12 And say <0559> (8804), How have I hated < 08130>
(8804) instruction <04148>, and my heart <03820> despised
<05006> (8804) reproof <08433>;

Pro 05:13 And have not obeyed <08085> (8804) the voice < 06963>
of my teachers <03384> (8688), nor inclined <05186> (8689) mine
ear <0241> to them that instructed <03925> (8764) me!

Pro 05:14 I was almost <04592> in all evil <07451> in the midst
<08432> of the congregation <06951> and assembly < 05712>.

Pro 05:15 ¶ Drink <08354> (8798) waters <04325> out of thine own
cistern <0953>, and running waters <05140> (8802) out of <08432>
thine own well <0875>.

Pro 05:16 Let thy fountains <04599> be dispersed < 06327> (8799)
abroad <02351>, and rivers <06388> of waters < 04325> in the
streets <07339>.

Pro 05:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers < 02114>
(8801)‘ with thee.

Pro 05:18 Let thy fountain <04726> be blessed <01288> (8803):
and rejoice <08055> (8798) with the wife <0802> of thy youth
<05271>.

Pro 05:19 Let her be as the loving <0158> hind <0365> and
pleasant <02580> roe <03280>; let her breasts < 01717> satisfy
<07301> (8762) thee at all times <06256>; and be thou ravished
<07686> (8799) always <08548> with her love < 0160>.

Pro 05:20 And why wilt thou, my son <01121>, be ravished
<07686> (8799) with a strange woman <02114> (8801), and embrace
<02263> (8762) the bosom <02436> of a stranger < 05237>?

Pro 05:21 For the ways <01870> of man <0376> are before <05227>
the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and he pondereth <06424>
(8764) all his goings <04570>.

Pro 05:22 His own iniquities <05771> shall take < 03920> (8799)
the wicked <07563> himself, and he shall be holden < 08551>
(8735) with the cords <02256> of his sins <02403>.

Pro 05:23 He shall die <04191> (8799) without instruction
<04148>; and in the greatness <07230> of his folly <0200> he
shall go astray <07686> (8799).

Pro 06:01 ¶ My son <01121>, if thou be surety <06148> (8804) for
thy friend <07453>, if thou hast stricken <08628> (8804) thy
hand <03709> with a stranger <02114> (8801),

Pro 06:02 Thou art snared <03369> (8738) with the words <0561>
of thy mouth <06310>, thou art taken <03920> (8738) with the
words <0561> of thy mouth <06310>.

Pro 06:03 Do <06213> (8798) this now <0645>, my son <01121>,
and deliver <05337> (8734) thyself, when thou art come < 0935>
(8804) into the hand <03709> of thy friend <07453>; go <03212>
(8798), humble <07511> (8690) thyself, and make sure < 07292>
(8798) thy friend <07453>.

Pro 06:04 Give <05414> (8799) not sleep <08142> to thine eyes
<05869>, nor slumber <08572> to thine eyelids < 06079>.

Pro 06:05 Deliver <05337> (8734) thyself as a roe < 06643> from
the hand <03027> of the hunter, and as a bird <06833> from the
hand <03027> of the fowler <03353>.

Pro 06:06 ¶ Go <03212> (8798) to the ant <05244>, thou sluggard
<06102>; consider <07200> (8798) her ways < 01870>, and be wise
<02449> (8798):

Pro 06:07 Which having no guide <07101>, overseer < 07860>
(8802), or ruler <04910> (8802),

Pro 06:08 Provideth <03559> (8686) her meat <03899> in the
summer <07019>, and gathereth <0103> (8804) her food <03978> in
the harvest <07105>.

Pro 06:09 How long wilt thou sleep <07901> (8799), O sluggard
<06102>? when wilt thou arise <06965> (8799) out of thy sleep
<08142>?

Pro 06:10 Yet a little <04592> sleep <08142>, a little <04592>
slumber <08572>, a little <04592> folding < 02264> of the hands
<03027> to sleep <07901> (8800):

Pro 06:11 So shall thy poverty <07389> come <0935> (8804) as
one that travelleth <01980> (8764), and thy want < 04270> as an
armed <04043> man <0376>.

Pro 06:12 ¶ A naughty <01100> person <0120>, a wicked <0205> man
<0376>, walketh <01980> (8802) with a froward < 06143> mouth
<06310>.

Pro 06:13 He winketh <07169> (8802) with his eyes < 05869>, he
speaketh <04448> (8802) with his feet <07272>, he teacheth
<03384> (8688) with his fingers <0676>;

Pro 06:14 Frowardness <08419> is in his heart <03820> , he
deviseth <02790> (8802) mischief <07451> continually <06256>; he
soweth <07971> (8762) discord <04066> (8675) < 04090>.

Pro 06:15 Therefore shall his calamity <0343> come < 0935>
(8799) suddenly <06597>; suddenly <06621> shall he be broken
<07665> (8735) without remedy <04832>.

Pro 06:16 These six <08337> things doth the LORD < 03068> hate
<08130> (8804): yea, seven <07651> are an abomination <08441>
unto him <05315>:

Pro 06:17 A proud <07311> (8802) look <05869>, a lying <08267>
tongue <03956>, and hands <03027> that shed < 08210> (8802)
innocent <05355> blood <01818>,

Pro 06:18 An heart <03820> that deviseth <02790> (8802) wicked
<0205> imaginations <04284>, feet <07272> that be swift <04116>
(8764) in running <07323> (8800) to mischief <07451>,

Pro 06:19 A false <08267> witness <05707> that speaketh <06315>
(8686) lies <03577>, and he that soweth <07971> (8764) discord
<04090> among brethren <0251>.

Pro 06:20 ¶ My son <01121>, keep <05341> (8798) thy father’s
<01> commandment <04687>, and forsake <05203> (8799) not the law
<08451> of thy mother <0517>:

Pro 06:21 Bind <07194> (8798) them continually < 08548> upon
thine heart <03820>, and tie <06029> (8798) them about thy neck
<01621>.

Pro 06:22 When thou goest <01980> (8692), it shall lead <05148>
(8686) thee; when thou sleepest <07901> (8800), it shall keep
<08104> (8799) thee; and when thou awakest <06974> (8689), it
shall talk <07878> (8799) with thee.

Pro 06:23 For the commandment <04687> is a lamp < 05216>; and
the law <08451> is light <0216>; and reproofs < 08433> of
instruction <04148> are the way <01870> of life < 02416>:

Pro 06:24 To keep <08104> (8800) thee from the evil < 07451>
woman <0802>, from the flattery <02513> of the tongue <03956> of
a strange woman <05237>.

Pro 06:25 Lust <02530> (8799) not after her beauty < 03308> in
thine heart <03824>; neither let her take <03947> (8799) thee
with her eyelids <06079>.

Pro 06:26 For by means of <01157> a whorish <02181> (8802)
woman <0802> a man is brought to a piece <03603> of bread
<03899>: and the adulteress <0802> <0376> will hunt <06679>
(8799) for the precious <03368> life <05315>.

Pro 06:27 Can a man <0376> take <02846> (8799) fire <0784> in
his bosom <02436>, and his clothes <0899> not be burned <08313>
(8735)?

Pro 06:28 Can one <0376> go <01980> (8762) upon hot coals
<01513>, and his feet <07272> not be burned < 03554> (8735)?

Pro 06:29 So he that goeth in <0935> (8802) to his neighbour’s
<07453> wife <0802>; whosoever toucheth <05060> (8802) her shall
not be innocent <05352> (8735).

Pro 06:30 Men do not despise <0936> (8799) a thief < 01590>, if
he steal <01589> (8799) to satisfy <04390> (8763) his soul
<05315> when he is hungry <07456> (8799);

Pro 06:31 But if he be found <04672> (8738), he shall restore
<07999> (8762) sevenfold <07659>; he shall give < 05414> (8799)
all the substance <01952> of his house <01004>.

Pro 06:32 But whoso committeth adultery <05003> (8802) with a
woman <0802> lacketh <02638> understanding < 03820>: he that
doeth <06213> (8799) it destroyeth <07843> (8688) his own soul
<05315>.

Pro 06:33 A wound <05061> and dishonour <07036> shall he get
<04672> (8799); and his reproach <02781> shall not be wiped away
<04229> (8735).

Pro 06:34 For jealousy <07068> is the rage <02534> of a man
<01397>: therefore he will not spare <02550> (8799) in the day
<03117> of vengeance <05359>.

Pro 06:35 He will not regard <05375> (8799) <06440> any ransom
<03724>; neither will he rest content <014> (8799), though thou
givest many <07235> (8686) gifts <07810>.

Pro 07:01 ¶ My son <01121>, keep <08104> (8798) my words <0561>,
and lay up <06845> (8799) my commandments <04687> with thee.

Pro 07:02 Keep <08104> (8798) my commandments <04687> , and live

eye <05869>.

Pro 07:03 Bind <07194> (8798) them upon thy fingers < 0676>,
write <03789> (8798) them upon the table <03871> of thine heart
<03820>.

Pro 07:04 Say <0559> (8798) unto wisdom <02451>, Thou art my
sister <0269>; and call <07121> (8799) understanding <0998> thy
kinswoman <04129>:

Pro 07:05 That they may keep <08104> (8800) thee from the
strange <02114> (8801) woman <0802>, from the stranger <05237>
which flattereth <02505> (8689) with her words <0561>.

Pro 07:06 ¶ For at the window <02474> of my house < 01004> I
looked <08259> (8738) through my casement <0822>,

Pro 07:07 And beheld <07200> (8799) among the simple ones
<06612>, I discerned <0995> (8799) among the youths <01121>, a
young man <05288> void <02638> of understanding < 03820>,

Pro 07:08 Passing through <05674> (8802) the street < 07784>
near <0681> her corner <06434>; and he went < 06805> (8799) the
way <01870> to her house <01004>,

Pro 07:09 In the twilight <05399>, in the evening < 03117>
<06153>, in the black <0380> and dark <0653> night <03915>:

Pro 07:10 And, behold, there met <07125> (8800) him a woman
<0802> with the attire <07897> of an harlot < 02181> (8802), and
subtil <05341> (8803) of heart <03820>.

Pro 07:11 (She is loud <01993> (8802) and stubborn < 05637>
(8802); her feet <07272> abide <07931> (8799) not in her house
<01004>:

Pro 07:12 Now <06471> is she without <02351>, now <06471> in
the streets <07339>, and lieth in wait <0693> (8799) at <0681>
every corner <06438>.)

Pro 07:13 So she caught <02388> (8689) him, and kissed < 05401>
(8804) him, and with an impudent <05810> (8689) face < 06440>
said <0559> (8799) unto him,

Pro 07:14 I have peace <08002> offerings <02077> with me; this
day <03117> have I payed <07999> (8765) my vows < 05088>.

Pro 07:15 Therefore came I forth <03318> (8804) to meet <07125>
(8800) thee, diligently to seek <07836> (8763) thy face < 06440>,
and I have found <04672> (8799) thee.

Pro 07:16 I have decked <07234> (8804) my bed <06210> with

Pro 07:18 Come <03212> (8798), let us take our fill < 07301>
(8799) of love <01730> until the morning <01242>: let us solace

Pro 07:19 For the goodman <0376> is not at home < 01004>, he is
gone <01980> (8804) a long <07350> journey < 01870>:

Pro 07:20 He hath taken <03947> (8804) a bag <06872> of money

Pro 07:21 With her much <07230> fair speech <03948> she caused
him to yield <05186> (8689), with the flattering < 02506> of her
lips <08193> she forced <05080> (8686) him.

Pro 07:22 He goeth <01980> (8802) after <0310> her straightway
<06597>, as an ox <07794> goeth <0935> (8799) to the slaughter
<02874>, or as a fool <0191> to the correction < 04148> of the
stocks <05914>;

Pro 07:23 Till a dart <02671> strike <06398> (8762) through his
liver <03516>; as a bird <06833> hasteth <04116> (8763) to the
snare <06341>, and knoweth <03045> (8804) not that it is for his
life <05315>.

Pro 07:24 ¶ Hearken <08085> (8798) unto me now therefore, O ye
children <01121>, and attend <07181> (8685) to the words <0561>
of my mouth <06310>.

her ways <01870>, go not astray <08582> (8799) in her paths
<05410>.

Pro 07:26 For she hath cast down <05307> (8689) many < 07227>
wounded <02491>: yea, many strong <06099> men have been slain
<02026> (8803) by her.

Pro 07:27 Her house <01004> is the way <01870> to hell <07585>,
going down <03381> (8802) to the chambers <02315> of death
<04194>.

Pro 08:01 ¶ Doth not wisdom <02451> cry <07121> (8799)? and
understanding <08394> put forth <05414> (8799) her voice <06963>?

Pro 08:02 She standeth <05324> (8738) in the top < 07218> of
high places <04791>, by the way <01870> in the places <01004> of

Pro 08:04 Unto you, O men <0376>, I call <07121> (8799); and my
voice <06963> is to the sons <01121> of man < 0120>.

Pro 08:05 O ye simple <06612>, understand <0995> (8685) wisdom
<06195>: and, ye fools <03684>, be ye of an understanding <0995>
(8685) heart <03820>.

Pro 08:06 Hear <08085> (8798); for I will speak < 01696> (8762)
of excellent things <05057>; and the opening <04669> of my lips
<08193> shall be right things <04339>.

Pro 08:07 For my mouth <02441> shall speak <01897> (8799) truth
<0571>; and wickedness <07562> is an abomination < 08441> to my
lips <08193>.

Pro 08:08 All the words <0561> of my mouth <06310> are in
righteousness <06664>; there is nothing froward < 06617> (8737)
or perverse <06141> in them.

Pro 08:09 They are all plain <05228> to him that understandeth
<0995> (8688), and right <03477> to them that find <04672>
(8802) knowledge <01847>.

Pro 08:10 Receive <03947> (8798) my instruction < 04148>, and
not silver <03701>; and knowledge <01847> rather than choice
<0977> (8737) gold <02742>.

Pro 08:11 For wisdom <02451> is better <02896> than rubies
<06443>; and all the things that may be desired < 02656> are not
to be compared <07737> (8799) to it.

Pro 08:12 ¶ I wisdom <02451> dwell <07931> (8804) with prudence

inventions <04209>.

Pro 08:13 The fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> is to hate
<08130> (8800) evil <07451>: pride <01344>, and arrogancy
<01347>, and the evil <07451> way <01870>, and the froward
<08419> mouth <06310>, do I hate <08130> (8804).

Pro 08:14 Counsel <06098> is mine, and sound wisdom < 08454>: I
am understanding <0998>; I have strength <01369>.

Pro 08:19 My fruit <06529> is better <02896> than gold <02742>,
yea, than fine gold <06337>; and my revenue <08393> than choice

righteousness <06666>, in the midst <08432> of the paths <05410>
of judgment <04941>:

Pro 08:21 That I may cause those that love <0157> (8802) me to
inherit <05157> (8687) substance <03426>; and I will fill
<04390> (8762) their treasures <0214>.

Pro 08:22 ¶ The LORD <03068> possessed <07069> (8804) me in the
beginning <07225> of his way <01870>, before < 06924> his works
<04659> of old.

Pro 08:23 I was set up <05258> (8738) from everlasting < 05769>,
from the beginning <07218>, or ever <06924> the earth <0776> was.

Pro 08:24 When there were no depths <08415>, I was brought
forth <02342> (8797); when there were no fountains < 04599>
abounding <03513> (8737) with water <04325>.

Pro 08:25 Before the mountains <02022> were settled < 02883>
(8717), before <06440> the hills <01389> was I brought forth
<02342> (8797):

Pro 08:26 While as yet he had not made <06213> (8804) the earth
<0776>, nor the fields <02351>, nor the highest part <07218> of
the dust <06083> of the world <08398>.

Pro 08:27 When he prepared <03559> (8687) the heavens < 08064>,
I was there: when he set <02710> (8800) a compass < 02329> upon
the face <06440> of the depth <08415>:

Pro 08:28 When he established <0553> (8763) the clouds < 07834>
above <04605>: when he strengthened <05810> (8800) the fountains
<05869> of the deep <08415>:

Pro 08:29 When he gave <07760> (8800) to the sea < 03220> his
decree <02706>, that the waters <04325> should not pass <05674>
(8799) his commandment <06310>: when he appointed < 02710> (8800)
the foundations <04144> of the earth <0776>:

Pro 08:30 Then I was by him <0681>, as one brought up < 0525>
with him: and I was daily <03117> <03117> his delight <08191>,
rejoicing <07832> (8764) always <06256> before < 06440> him;

Pro 08:31 Rejoicing <07832> (8764) in the habitable part
<08398> of his earth <0776>; and my delights < 08191> were with
the sons <01121> of men <0120>.

Pro 08:32 ¶ Now therefore hearken <08085> (8798) unto me, O ye
children <01121>: for blessed <0835> are they that keep <08104>
(8799) my ways <01870>.

Pro 08:33 Hear <08085> (8798) instruction <04148>, and be wise
<02449> (8798), and refuse <06544> (8799) it not.

Pro 08:34 Blessed <0835> is the man <0120> that heareth <08085>
(8802) me, watching <08245> (8800) daily <03117> < 03117> at my
gates <01817>, waiting <08104> (8800) at the posts <04201> of my
doors <06607>.

Pro 08:35 For whoso findeth <04672> (8802) me findeth < 04672>
(8804) (8675) <04672> (8802) life <02416>, and shall obtain
<06329> (8686) favour <07522> of the LORD < 03068>.

Pro 08:36 But he that sinneth <02398> (8802) against me
wrongeth <02554> (8802) his own soul <05315>: all they that hate
<08130> (8764) me love <0157> (8804) death < 04194>.

Pro 09:01 ¶ Wisdom <02454> hath builded <01129> (8804) her house
<01004>, she hath hewn out <02672> (8804) her seven <07651>
pillars <05982>:

Pro 09:02 She hath killed <02873> (8804) her beasts < 02874>;
she hath mingled <04537> (8804) her wine <03196>; she hath also
furnished <06186> (8804) her table <07979>.

Pro 09:03 She hath sent forth <07971> (8804) her maidens

places <04791> of the city <07176>,

Pro 09:04 Whoso is simple <06612>, let him turn in < 05493>
(8799) hither: as for him that wanteth <02638> understanding
<03820>, she saith <0559> (8804) to him,

Pro 09:05 Come <03212> (8798), eat <03898> (8798) of my bread
<03899>, and drink <08354> (8798) of the wine < 03196> which I
have mingled <04537> (8804).

Pro 09:06 Forsake <05800> (8798) the foolish <06612>, and live
<02421> (8798); and go <0833> (8798) in the way < 01870> of
understanding <0998>.

Pro 09:07 He that reproveth <03256> (8802) a scorner < 03887>
(8801) getteth <03947> (8802) to himself shame <07036> : and he
that rebuketh <03198> (8688) a wicked <07563> man getteth
himself a blot <03971>.

Pro 09:08 Reprove <03198> (8686) not a scorner < 03887> (8801),
lest he hate <08130> (8799) thee: rebuke <03198> (8685) a wise
man <02450>, and he will love <0157> (8799) thee.

Pro 09:09 Give <05414> (8798) instruction to a wise < 02450> man,
and he will be yet wiser <02449> (8799): teach < 03045> (8685) a
just <06662> man, and he will increase <03254> (8686) in
learning <03948>.

Pro 09:10 The fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> is the beginning
<08462> of wisdom <02451>: and the knowledge < 01847> of the holy
<06918> is understanding <0998>.

Pro 09:11 For by me thy days <03117> shall be multiplied
<07235> (8799), and the years <08141> of thy life < 02416> shall
be increased <03254> (8686).

Pro 09:12 If thou be wise <02449> (8804), thou shalt be wise
<02449> (8804) for thyself: but if thou scornest < 03887> (8804),
thou alone shalt bear <05375> (8799) it.

Pro 09:13 ¶ A foolish <03687> woman <0802> is clamorous <01993>
(8802): she is simple <06615>, and <01077> knoweth <03045>
(8804) nothing <04100>.

Pro 09:14 For she sitteth <03427> (8804) at the door < 06607> of
her house <01004>, on a seat <03678> in the high places <04791>
of the city <07176>,

Pro 09:15 To call <07121> (8800) passengers <05674> (8802)
<01870> who go right <03474> (8764) on their ways < 0734>:

Pro 09:16 Whoso is simple <06612>, let him turn in < 05493>
(8799) hither: and as for him that wanteth <02638> understanding
<03820>, she saith <0559> (8804) to him,

Pro 09:17 Stolen <01589> (8803) waters <04325> are sweet
<04985> (8799), and bread <03899> eaten in secret < 05643> is
pleasant <05276> (8799).

Pro 09:18 But he knoweth <03045> (8804) not that the dead
<07496> are there; and that her guests <07121> (8803) are in the
depths <06012> of hell <07585>.

Pro 10:01 ¶ The proverbs <04912> of Solomon <08010>. A wise
<02450> son <01121> maketh a glad <08055> (8762) father <01>:
but a foolish <03684> son <01121> is the heaviness <08424> of
his mother <0517>.

Pro 10:02 ¶ Treasures <0214> of wickedness <07562> profit
<03276> (8686) nothing: but righteousness <06666> delivereth
<05337> (8686) from death <04194>.

Pro 10:03 The LORD <03068> will not suffer <07456> <00> the
soul <05315> of the righteous <06662> to famish < 07456> (8686):
but he casteth away <01920> (8799) the substance < 01942> of the
wicked <07563>.

Pro 10:04 ¶ He becometh poor <07326> (8802) that dealeth <06213>
(8802) with a slack <07423> hand <03709>: but the hand <03027>
of the diligent <02742> maketh rich <06238> (8686).

Pro 10:05 ¶ He that gathereth <0103> (8802) in summer < 07019> is
a wise <07919> (8688) son <01121>: but he that sleepeth <07290>
(8737) in harvest <07105> is a son <01121> that causeth shame
<0954> (8688).

Pro 10:06 ¶ Blessings <01293> are upon the head < 07218> of the
just <06662>: but violence <02555> covereth < 03680> (8762) the
mouth <06310> of the wicked <07563>.

Pro 10:07 ¶ The memory <02143> of the just <06662> is blessed
<01293>: but the name <08034> of the wicked < 07563> shall rot
<07537> (8799).

Pro 10:08 ¶ The wise <02450> in heart <03820> will receive
<03947> (8799) commandments <04687>: but a prating <08193> fool
<0191> shall fall <03832> (8735).

Pro 10:09 ¶ He that walketh <03212> (8799) uprightly < 08537>
walketh <01980> (8802) surely <0983>: but he that perverteth
<06140> (8764) his ways <01870> shall be known < 03045> (8735).

Pro 10:10 ¶ He that winketh <07169> (8802) with the eye < 05869>
causeth <05414> (8799) sorrow <06094>: but a prating <08193>
fool <0191> shall fall <03832> (8735).

Pro 10:11 ¶ The mouth <06310> of a righteous <06662> man is a
well <04726> of life <02416>: but violence < 02555> covereth
<03680> (8762) the mouth <06310> of the wicked < 07563>.

Pro 10:12 ¶ Hatred <08135> stirreth up <05782> (8787) strifes
<04090>: but love <0160> covereth <03680> (8762) all sins
<06588>.

Pro 10:13 ¶ In the lips <08193> of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737) wisdom <02451> is found <04672> (8735): but a rod
<07626> is for the back <01460> of him that is void <02638> of
understanding <03820>.

Pro 10:14 ¶ Wise <02450> men lay up <06845> (8799) knowledge
<01847>: but the mouth <06310> of the foolish < 0191> is near
<07138> destruction <04288>.

Pro 10:15 ¶ The rich man’s <06223> wealth <01952> is his strong
<05797> city <07151>: the destruction <04288> of the poor
<01800> is their poverty <07389>.

Pro 10:16 ¶ The labour <06468> of the righteous < 06662> tendeth
to life <02416>: the fruit <08393> of the wicked < 07563> to sin
<02403>.

Pro 10:17 ¶ He is in the way <0734> of life <02416> that keepeth
<08104> (8802) instruction <04148>: but he that refuseth <05800>
(8802) reproof <08433> erreth <08582> (8688).

Pro 10:18 ¶ He that hideth <03680> (8764) hatred < 08135> with
lying <08267> lips <08193>, and he that uttereth < 03318> (8688)
a slander <01681>, is a fool <03684>.

Pro 10:19 ¶ In the multitude <07230> of words <01697> there
wanteth <02308> (8799) not sin <06588>: but he that refraineth
<02820> (8802) his lips <08193> is wise <07919> (8688).

Pro 10:20 ¶ The tongue <03956> of the just <06662> is as choice
<0977> (8737) silver <03701>: the heart <03820> of the wicked
<07563> is little worth <04592>.

Pro 10:21 The lips <08193> of the righteous <06662> feed
<07462> (8799) many <07227>: but fools <0191> die <04191> (8799)
for want <02638> of wisdom <03820>.

Pro 10:22 ¶ The blessing <01293> of the LORD <03068>, it maketh
rich <06238> (8686), and he addeth <03254> (8686) no sorrow
<06089> with it.

Pro 10:23 ¶ It is as sport <07814> to a fool <03684> to do
<06213> (8800) mischief <02154>: but a man < 0376> of
understanding <08394> hath wisdom <02451>.

Pro 10:24 ¶ The fear <04034> of the wicked <07563>, it shall
come <0935> (8799) upon him: but the desire <08378> of the
righteous <06662> shall be granted <05414> (8799).

Pro 10:25 As the whirlwind <05492> passeth <05674> (8800), so
is the wicked <07563> no more: but the righteous < 06662> is an
everlasting <05769> foundation <03247>.

Pro 10:26 ¶ As vinegar <02558> to the teeth <08127>, and as
smoke <06227> to the eyes <05869>, so is the sluggard <06102> to
them that send <07971> (8802) him.

Pro 10:27 ¶ The fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> prolongeth
<03254> (8686) days <03117>: but the years < 08141> of the wicked
<07563> shall be shortened <07114> (8799).

Pro 10:28 The hope <08431> of the righteous <06662> shall be
gladness <08057>: but the expectation <08615> of the wicked
<07563> shall perish <06> (8799).

Pro 10:29 ¶ The way <01870> of the LORD <03068> is strength
<04581> to the upright <08537>: but destruction < 04288> shall be
to the workers <06466> (8802) of iniquity <0205>.

Pro 10:30 The righteous <06662> shall never <05769> be removed
<04131> (8735): but the wicked <07563> shall not inhabit <07931>
(8799) the earth <0776>.

Pro 10:31 ¶ The mouth <06310> of the just <06662> bringeth forth
<05107> (8799) wisdom <02451>: but the froward < 08419> tongue
<03956> shall be cut out <03772> (8735).

Pro 10:32 The lips <08193> of the righteous <06662> know
<03045> (8799) what is acceptable <07522>: but the mouth <06310>
of the wicked <07563> speaketh frowardness <08419>.

Pro 11:01 ¶ A false <04820> balance <03976> is abomination

Pro 16:28 A froward <08419> man <0376> soweth < 07971> (8762)

Pro 16:30 He shutteth <06095> (8802) his eyes <05869> to devise
<02803> (8800) froward things <08419>: moving < 07169> (8802) his

<03615> (8765).

Pro 16:32 ¶ He that is slow <0750> to anger <0639> is better
<02896> than the mighty <01368>; and he that ruleth <04910>

city <05892>.

Pro 17:07 ¶ Excellent <03499> speech <08193> becometh <05000>

Pro 17:10 ¶ A reproof <01606> entereth <05181> (8799) more into

(8687) into a fool <03684>.

Pro 17:11 ¶ An evil <07451> man seeketh <01245> (8762) only

<04185> (8686) from his house <01004>.

Pro 17:14 ¶ The beginning <07225> of strife <04066> is as when

<03027> of a fool <03684> to get <07069> (8800) wisdom <02451>,
seeing he hath no heart <03820> to it?

Pro 17:17 ¶ A friend <07453> loveth <0157> (8802) at all times

mischief <07451>.

are in the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>.

Pro 17:25 ¶ A foolish <03684> son <01121> is a grief <03708> to

(8802) him.

Pro 17:26 ¶ Also to punish <06064> (8800) the just < 06662> is

Pro 18:04 ¶ The words <01697> of a man’s <0376> mouth <06310>

in his own conceit <04906>.

Pro 18:12 ¶ Before <06440> destruction <07667> the heart <03820>
of man <0376> is haughty <01361> (8799), and before <06440>

Pro 18:13 ¶ He that answereth <07725> (8688) a matter < 01697>

Pro 18:19 ¶ A brother <0251> offended <06586> (8737) is harder
to be won than a strong <05797> city <07151>: and their

a castle <0759>.

thee?

Pro 22:28 ¶ Remove <05253> (8686) not the ancient < 05769>

Pro 22:29 ¶ Seest <02372> (8804) thou a man <0376> diligent
<04106> in his business <04399>? he shall stand < 03320> (8691)

before <06440> mean <02823> men.

Pro 23:01 ¶ When thou sittest <03427> (8799) to eat < 03898>

diligently <0995> (8800) what is before <06440> thee:

Pro 23:02 And put <07760> (8804) a knife <07915> to thy throat
<03930>, if thou be a man given <01167> to appetite <05315>.

Pro 23:03 Be not desirous <0183> (8691) of his dainties <04303>:
for they are deceitful <03577> meat <03899>.

Pro 23:04 ¶ Labour <03021> (8799) not to be rich < 06238> (8687):
cease <02308> (8798) from thine own wisdom <0998>.

Pro 23:05 Wilt thou set <05774> (8686) (8675) <05774> (8799)
thine eyes <05869> upon that which is not? for riches certainly
<06213> (8800) make <06213> (8799) themselves wings <03671>;
they fly away <05774> (8799) (8675) <05774> (8687) as an eagle
<05404> toward heaven <08064>.

Pro 23:06 ¶ Eat <03898> (8799) thou not the bread < 03899> of him
that hath an evil <07451> eye <05869>, neither desire <0183>
(8691) thou his dainty meats <04303>:

Pro 23:07 For as he thinketh <08176> (8804) in his heart
<05315>, so is he: Eat <0398> (8798) and drink < 08354> (8798),
saith <0559> (8799) he to thee; but his heart <03820> is not
with thee.

Pro 23:08 The morsel <06595> which thou hast eaten < 0398>
(8804) shalt thou vomit up <06958> (8686), and lose < 07843>
(8765) thy sweet <05273> words <01697>.

Pro 23:09 ¶ Speak <01696> (8762) not in the ears < 0241> of a

Pro 23:11 For their redeemer <01350> (8802) is mighty < 02389>;
he shall plead <07378> (8799) their cause <07379> with thee.

Pro 23:12 ¶ Apply <0935> (8685) thine heart <03820> unto
instruction <04148>, and thine ears <0241> to the words <0561>
of knowledge <01847>.

Pro 23:13 Withhold <04513> (8799) not correction < 04148> from

<02449> (8804), my heart <03820> shall rejoice < 08055> (8799),
even mine <0589>.

Pro 23:16 Yea, my reins <03629> shall rejoice <05937> (8799),
when thy lips <08193> speak <01696> (8763) right things <04339>.

Pro 23:17 ¶ Let not thine heart <03820> envy <07065> (8762)
sinners <02400>: but be thou in the fear <03374> of the LORD
<03068> all the day <03117> long.

Pro 23:18 For surely there is <03426> an end <0319>; and thine
expectation <08615> shall not be cut off <03772> (8735).

in the way <01870>.

Pro 23:20 Be not among winebibbers <03196> <05433> (8802);

Pro 23:21 For the drunkard <05433> (8802) and the glutton
<02151> (8802) shall come to poverty <03423> (8735): and
drowsiness <05124> shall clothe <03847> (8686) a man with rags
<07168>.

Pro 23:22 Hearken <08085> (8798) unto thy father <01> that

mother <0517> when she is old <02204> (8804).

Pro 23:23 Buy <07069> (8798) the truth <0571>, and sell <04376>

understanding <0998>.

Pro 23:24 The father <01> of the righteous <06662> shall
greatly <01524> rejoice <01523> (8799): and he that begetteth
<03205> (8802) a wise <02450> child shall have joy <08055>
(8799) of him.

Pro 23:25 Thy father <01> and thy mother <0517> shall be glad
<08055> (8799), and she that bare <03205> (8802) thee shall
rejoice <01523> (8799).

Pro 23:26 My son <01121>, give <05414> (8798) me thine heart
<03820>, and let thine eyes <05869> observe < 07521> (8799)
<05341> (8799) my ways <01870>.

Pro 23:27 For a whore <02181> (8802) is a deep < 06013> ditch
<07745>; and a strange woman <05237> is a narrow < 06862> pit
<0875>.

Pro 23:28 She also lieth in wait <0693> (8799) as for a prey
<02863>, and increaseth <03254> (8686) the transgressors <0898>
(8802) among men <0120>.

Pro 23:29 ¶ Who hath woe <0188>? who hath sorrow <017> ? who hath
contentions <04079> (8675) <04066>? who hath babbling <07879>?
who hath wounds <06482> without cause <02600>? who hath redness
<02448> of eyes <05869>?

Pro 23:30 They that tarry long <0309> (8764) at the wine
<03196>; they that go <0935> (8802) to seek < 02713> (8800) mixed
wine <04469>.

Pro 23:31 Look <07200> (8799) not thou upon the wine < 03196>
when it is red <0119> (8691), when it giveth <05414> (8799) his
colour <05869> in the cup <03563> (8675) <03599> , when it moveth
<01980> (8691) itself aright <04339>.

Pro 23:32 At the last <0319> it biteth <05391> (8799) like a
serpent <05175>, and stingeth <06567> (8686) like an adder
<06848>.

Pro 23:33 Thine eyes <05869> shall behold <07200> (8799)
strange women <02114> (8801), and thine heart <03820> shall
utter <01696> (8762) perverse things <08419>.

Pro 23:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down <07901>
(8802) in the midst <03820> of the sea <03220>, or as he that
lieth <07901> (8802) upon the top <07218> of a mast <02260>.

Pro 23:35 They have stricken <05221> (8689) me, shalt thou say,
and I was not sick <02470> (8804); they have beaten < 01986>
(8804) me, and I felt <03045> (8804) it not: when shall I awake
<06974> (8686)? I will seek <01245> (8762) it yet < 03254> (8686)
again.

Pro 24:01 ¶ Be not thou envious <07065> (8762) against evil
<07451> men <0582>, neither desire <0183> (8691) to be with them.

Pro 24:02 For their heart <03820> studieth <01897> (8799)
destruction <07701>, and their lips <08193> talk < 01696> (8762)
of mischief <05999>.

Pro 24:03 ¶ Through wisdom <02451> is an house <01004> builded
<01129> (8735); and by understanding <08394> it is established
<03559> (8709):

Pro 24:04 And by knowledge <01847> shall the chambers < 02315>
be filled <04390> (8735) with all precious <03368> and pleasant
<05273> riches <01952>.

Pro 24:05 A wise <02450> man <01397> is strong < 05797>; yea, a
man <0376> of knowledge <01847> increaseth < 0553> (8764)
strength <03581>.

Pro 24:06 For by wise counsel <08458> thou shalt make < 06213>
(8799) thy war <04421>: and in multitude <07230> of counsellors
<03289> (8802) there is safety <08668>.

Pro 24:07 ¶ Wisdom <02454> is too high <07311> (8802) for a fool
<0191>: he openeth <06605> (8799) not his mouth < 06310> in the
gate <08179>.

Pro 24:08 He that deviseth <02803> (8764) to do evil < 07489>
(8687) shall be called <07121> (8799) a mischievous < 04209>
person <01167>.

Pro 24:09 The thought <02154> of foolishness <0200> is sin
<02403>: and the scorner <03887> (8801) is an abomination
<08441> to men <0120>.

Pro 24:10 ¶ If thou faint <07503> (8694) in the day < 03117> of
adversity <06869>, thy strength <03581> is small < 06862>.

Pro 24:11 ¶ If thou forbear <02820> (8799) to deliver < 05337>
(8685) them that are drawn <03947> (8803) unto death < 04194>,
and those that are ready <04131> (8801) to be slain < 02027>;

Pro 24:12 If thou sayest <0559> (8799), Behold, we knew <03045>
(8804) it not; doth not he that pondereth <08505> (8802) the
heart <03826> consider <0995> (8799) it? and he that keepeth
<05341> (8802) thy soul <05315>, doth not he know < 03045> (8799)
it? and shall not he render <07725> (8689) to every man < 0120>
according to his works <06467>?

Pro 24:13 ¶ My son <01121>, eat <0398> (8798) thou honey <01706>,
because it is good <02896>; and the honeycomb <05317> , which is
sweet <04966> to thy taste <02441>:

Pro 24:14 So shall the knowledge <03045> (8798) of wisdom
<02451> be unto thy soul <05315>: when thou hast found <04672>
(8804) it, then there shall be <03426> a reward <0319> , and thy
expectation <08615> shall not be cut off <03772> (8735).

Pro 24:15 ¶ Lay not wait <0693> (8799), O wicked < 07563> man,
against the dwelling <05116> of the righteous <06662>; spoil
<07703> (8762) not his resting place <07258>:

Pro 24:16 For a just <06662> man falleth <05307> (8799) seven
times <07651>, and riseth up again <06965> (8804): but the
wicked <07563> shall fall <03782> (8735) into mischief <07451>.

Pro 24:17 ¶ Rejoice <08055> (8799) not when thine enemy < 0341>
(8802) falleth <05307> (8800), and let not thine heart < 03820>
be glad <01523> (8799) when he stumbleth <03782> (8736):

Pro 24:18 Lest the LORD <03068> see <07200> (8799) it, and it
displease <07489> (8804) <05869> him, and he turn away <07725>
(8689) his wrath <0639> from him.

Pro 24:19 ¶ Fret <02734> (8691) not thyself because of evil
<07489> (8688) men, neither be thou envious <07065> (8762) at
the wicked <07563>;

Pro 24:20 For there shall be no reward <0319> to the evil
<07451> man; the candle <05216> of the wicked < 07563> shall be
put out <01846> (8799).

Pro 24:21 ¶ My son <01121>, fear <03372> (8798) thou the LORD
<03068> and the king <04428>: and meddle <06148> (8691) not with
them that are given to change <08138> (8802):

Pro 24:22 For their calamity <0343> shall rise < 06965> (8799)
suddenly <06597>; and who knoweth <03045> (8802) the ruin
<06365> of them both <08147>?

Pro 24:23 ¶ These things also belong to the wise <02450>. It is
not good <02896> to have respect <05234> (8687) of persons
<06440> in judgment <04941>.

Pro 24:24 He that saith <0559> (8802) unto the wicked < 07563>,
Thou art righteous <06662>; him shall the people < 05971> curse
<05344> (8799), nations <03816> shall abhor < 02194> (8799) him:

Pro 24:25 But to them that rebuke <03198> (8688) him shall be
delight <05276> (8799), and a good <02896> blessing <01293>
shall come <0935> (8799) upon them.

Pro 24:26 Every man shall kiss <05401> (8799) his lips < 08193>
that giveth <07725> (8688) a right <05228> answer < 01697>.

Pro 24:27 ¶ Prepare <03559> (8685) thy work <04399> without
<02351>, and make it fit <06257> (8761) for thyself in the field
<07704>; and afterwards <0310> build <01129> (8804) thine house
<01004>.

Pro 24:28 ¶ Be not a witness <05707> against thy neighbour
<07453> without cause <02600>; and deceive < 06601> (8765) not
with thy lips <08193>.

Pro 24:29 Say <0559> (8799) not, I will do <06213> (8799) so to
him as he hath done <06213> (8804) to me: I will render < 07725>
(8686) to the man <0376> according to his work <06467> .

Pro 24:30 ¶ I went <05674> (8804) by the field <07704> of the
slothful <0376> <06102>, and by the vineyard < 03754> of the man
<0120> void <02638> of understanding <03820>;

Pro 24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over <05927> (8804) with
thorns <07063>, and nettles <02738> had covered < 03680> (8795)
the face <06440> thereof, and the stone <068> wall <01444>
thereof was broken down <02040> (8738).

Pro 24:32 Then I saw <02372> (8799), and considered it well
<07896> (8799) <03820>: I looked <07200> (8804) upon it, and
received <03947> (8804) instruction <04148>.

Pro 24:33 Yet a little <04592> sleep <08142>, a little <04592>
slumber <08572>, a little <04592> folding < 02264> of the hands
<03027> to sleep <07901> (8800):

Pro 24:34 So shall thy poverty <07389> come <0935> (8804) as
one that travelleth <01980> (8693); and thy want < 04270> as an
armed <04043> man <0376>.

Pro 25:01 ¶ These are also proverbs <04912> of Solomon < 08010>,
which the men <0582> of Hezekiah <02396> king < 04428> of Judah
<03063> copied out <06275> (8689).

Pro 25:02 ¶ It is the glory <03519> of God <0430> to conceal
<05641> (8687) a thing <01697>: but the honour < 03519> of kings
<04428> is to search out <02713> (8800) a matter < 01697>.

Pro 25:03 The heaven <08064> for height <07312>, and the earth
<0776> for depth <06011>, and the heart <03820> of kings <04428>
is unsearchable <02714>.

Pro 25:04 ¶ Take away <01898> (8800) the dross <05509> from the
silver <03701>, and there shall come forth <03318> (8799) a
vessel <03627> for the finer <06884> (8802).

Pro 25:05 Take away <01898> (8800) the wicked <07563> from
before <06440> the king <04428>, and his throne < 03678> shall be
established <03559> (8735) in righteousness <06664>.

Pro 25:06 ¶ Put not forth <01921> (8691) thyself in the presence
<06440> of the king <04428>, and stand <05975> (8799) not in the
place <04725> of great <01419> men:

Pro 25:07 For better <02896> it is that it be said < 0559>
(8800) unto thee, Come up <05927> (8798) hither; than that thou
shouldest be put lower <08213> (8687) in the presence < 06440> of
the prince <05081> whom thine eyes <05869> have seen <07200>
(8804).

Pro 25:08 ¶ Go not forth <03318> (8799) hastily < 04118> to
strive <07378> (8800), lest thou know not what to do < 06213>
(8799) in the end <0319> thereof, when thy neighbour < 07453>
hath put thee to shame <03637> (8687).

Pro 25:09 Debate <07378> (8798) thy cause <07379> with thy
neighbour <07453> himself; and discover <01540> (8762) not a
secret <05475> to another <0312>:

Pro 25:10 Lest he that heareth <08085> (8802) it put thee to
shame <02616> (8762), and thine infamy <01681> turn not away
<07725> (8799).

Pro 25:11 ¶ A word <01697> fitly <0212> (8675) < 0655> spoken
<01696> (8803) is like apples <08598> of gold < 02091> in
pictures <04906> of silver <03701>.

Pro 25:12 As an earring <05141> of gold <02091>, and an
ornament <02481> of fine gold <03800>, so is a wise <02450>
reprover <03198> (8688) upon an obedient <08085> (8802) ear
<0241>.

Pro 25:13 ¶ As the cold <06793> of snow <07950> in the time
<03117> of harvest <07105>, so is a faithful < 0539> (8737)
messenger <06735> to them that send <07971> (8802) him: for he
refresheth <07725> (8686) the soul <05315> of his masters <0113>.

Pro 25:14 ¶ Whoso <0376> boasteth <01984> (8693) himself of a
false <08267> gift <04991> is like clouds < 05387> and wind
<07307> without rain <01653>.

Pro 25:15 ¶ By long <0753> forbearing <0639> is a prince <07101>
persuaded <06601> (8792), and a soft <07390> tongue <03956>
breaketh <07665> (8799) the bone <01634>.

Pro 25:16 ¶ Hast thou found <04672> (8804) honey < 01706>? eat
<0398> (8798) so much as is sufficient <01767> for thee, lest
thou be filled <07646> (8799) therewith, and vomit < 06958>
(8689) it.

Pro 25:17 ¶ Withdraw <03365> (8685) thy foot <07272> from thy
neighbour’s <07453> house <01004>; lest he be weary <07646>
(8799) of thee, and so hate <08130> (8804) thee.

Pro 25:18 ¶ A man <0376> that beareth <06030> (8802) false
<08267> witness <05707> against his neighbour < 07453> is a maul
<04650>, and a sword <02719>, and a sharp < 08150> (8802) arrow
<02671>.

Pro 25:19 ¶ Confidence <04009> in an unfaithful man < 0898>
(8802) in time <03117> of trouble <06869> is like a broken
<07465> tooth <08127>, and a foot <07272> out of joint <04154>.

Pro 25:20 ¶ As he that taketh away <05710> (8688) a garment
<0899> in cold <07135> weather <03117>, and as vinegar <02558>
upon nitre <05427>, so is he that singeth <07891> (8802) songs
<07892> to an heavy <07451> heart <03820>.

Pro 25:21 ¶ If thine enemy <08130> (8802) be hungry < 07457>,
give him bread <03899> to eat <0398> (8685); and if he be
thirsty <06771>, give him water <04325> to drink < 08248> (8685):

Pro 25:22 For thou shalt heap <02846> (8802) coals of fire
<01513> upon his head <07218>, and the LORD < 03068> shall reward
<07999> (8762) thee.

Pro 25:23 ¶ The north <06828> wind <07307> driveth away <02342>
(8787) rain <01653>: so doth an angry <02194> (8737) countenance
<06440> a backbiting <05643> tongue <03956>.

Pro 25:24 ¶ It is better <02896> to dwell <03427> (8800) in the
corner <06438> of the housetop <01406>, than with a brawling
<04079> (8675) <04066> woman <0802> and in a wide <02267> house
<01004>.

Pro 25:25 ¶ As cold <07119> waters <04325> to a thirsty <05889>
soul <05315>, so is good <02896> news <08052> from a far <04801>
country <0776>.

Pro 25:26 ¶ A righteous <06662> man falling down < 04131> (8801)
before <06440> the wicked <07563> is as a troubled <07515>
(8737) fountain <04599>, and a corrupt <07843> (8716) spring
<04726>.

Pro 25:27 ¶ It is not good <02896> to eat <0398> (8800) much
<07235> (8687) honey <01706>: so for men to search <02714> their
own glory <03519> is not glory <03519>.

Pro 25:28 ¶ He <0376> that hath no rule <04623> over his own
spirit <07307> is like a city <05892> that is broken down
<06555> (8803), and without walls <02346>.

Pro 26:01 ¶ As snow <07950> in summer <07019>, and as rain
<04306> in harvest <07105>, so honour <03519> is not seemly
<05000> for a fool <03684>.

Pro 26:02 ¶ As the bird <06833> by wandering <05110> (8800), as
the swallow <01866> by flying <05774> (8800), so the curse
<07045> causeless <02600> shall not come <0935> (8799).

Pro 26:03 ¶ A whip <07752> for the horse <05483>, a bridle
<04964> for the ass <02543>, and a rod <07626> for the fool’s
<03684> back <01460>.

Pro 26:04 ¶ Answer <06030> (8799) not a fool <03684> according
to his folly <0200>, lest thou also be like <07737> (8799) unto
him.

Pro 26:05 Answer <06030> (8798) a fool <03684> according to his
folly <0200>, lest he be wise <02450> in his own conceit <05869>.

Pro 26:06 ¶ He that sendeth <07971> (8802) a message < 01697> by
the hand <03027> of a fool <03684> cutteth off < 07096> (8764)
the feet <07272>, and drinketh <08354> (8802) damage <02555>.

Pro 26:07 The legs <07785> of the lame <06455> are not equal
<01809> (8804): so is a parable <04912> in the mouth <06310> of
fools <03684>.

Pro 26:08 As he that bindeth <06872> (8675) <06887> (8800) a
stone <068> in a sling <04773>, so is he that giveth <05414>
(8802) honour <03519> to a fool <03684>.

Pro 26:09 As a thorn <02336> goeth up <05927> (8804) into the
hand <03027> of a drunkard <07910>, so is a parable <04912> in
the mouth <06310> of fools <03684>.

Pro 26:10 ¶ The great <07227> God that formed <02342> (8789) all
things both rewardeth <07936> (8802) the fool <03684>, and
rewardeth <07936> (8802) transgressors <05674> (8802).

Pro 26:11 ¶ As a dog <03611> returneth <07725> (8804) to his
vomit <06892>, so a fool <03684> returneth < 08138> (8802) to his
folly <0200>.

Pro 26:12 ¶ Seest <07200> (8804) thou a man <0376> wise <02450>
in his own conceit <05869>? there is more hope <08615> of a fool
<03684> than of him.

Pro 26:13 ¶ The slothful <06102> man saith <0559> (8804), There
is a lion <07826> in the way <01870>; a lion < 0738> is in the
streets <07339>.

Pro 26:14 ¶ As the door <01817> turneth <05437> (8735) upon his
hinges <06735>, so doth the slothful <06102> upon his bed
<04296>.

Pro 26:15 ¶ The slothful <06102> hideth <02934> (8804) his hand
<03027> in his bosom <06747>; it grieveth < 03811> (8738) him to
bring it again <07725> (8687) to his mouth <06310>.

Pro 26:16 ¶ The sluggard <06102> is wiser <02450> in his own
conceit <05869> than seven men <07651> that can render <07725>
(8688) a reason <02940>.

Pro 26:17 ¶ He that passeth by <05674> (8802), and meddleth
<05674> (8693) with strife <07379> belonging not to him, is like
one that taketh <02388> (8688) a dog <03611> by the ears <0241>.

Pro 26:18 ¶ As a mad <03856> (8700) man who casteth < 03384>
(8802) firebrands <02131>, arrows <02671>, and death <04194>,

Pro 26:19 So is the man <0376> that deceiveth <07411> (8765)
his neighbour <07453>, and saith <0559> (8804), Am not I in
sport <07832> (8764)?

Pro 26:20 ¶ Where no <0657> wood <06086> is, there the fire
<0784> goeth out <03518> (8799): so where there is no talebearer
<05372>, the strife <04066> ceaseth <08367> (8799).

Pro 26:21 As coals <06352> are to burning coals < 01513>, and
wood <06086> to fire <0784>; so is a contentious < 04079> (8675)
<04066> man <0376> to kindle <02787> (8771) strife <07379>.

Pro 26:22 The words <01697> of a talebearer <05372> are as
wounds <03859> (8693), and they go down <03381> (8804) into the
innermost parts <02315> of the belly <0990>.

Pro 26:23 ¶ Burning <01814> (8801) lips <08193> and a wicked
<07451> heart <03820> are like a potsherd < 02789> covered
<06823> (8794) with silver <03701> dross <05509> .

Pro 26:24 ¶ He that hateth <08130> (8802) dissembleth < 05234>
(8735) with his lips <08193>, and layeth up <07896> (8799)
deceit <04820> within <07130> him;

Pro 26:25 When he speaketh <06963> fair <02603> (8762), believe
<0539> (8686) him not: for there are seven <07651> abominations
<08441> in his heart <03820>.

Pro 26:26 Whose hatred <08135> is covered <03680> (8691) by
deceit <04860>, his wickedness <07451> shall be shewed <01540>
(8735) before the whole congregation <06951>.

Pro 26:27 ¶ Whoso diggeth <03738> (8802) a pit <07845> shall
fall <05307> (8799) therein: and he that rolleth < 01556> (8802)
a stone <068>, it will return <07725> (8799) upon him.

Pro 26:28 ¶ A lying <08267> tongue <03956> hateth < 08130> (8799)
those that are afflicted <01790> by it; and a flattering <02509>
mouth <06310> worketh <06213> (8799) ruin < 04072>.

Pro 27:01 ¶ Boast <01984> (8691) not thyself of to morrow
<04279>; for thou knowest <03045> (8799) not what a day <03117>
may bring forth <03205> (8799).

Pro 27:02 ¶ Let another man <02114> (8801) praise < 01984> (8762)
thee, and not thine own mouth <06310>; a stranger < 05237>, and
not thine own lips <08193>.

Pro 27:03 ¶ A stone <068> is heavy <03514>, and the sand <02344>
weighty <05192>; but a fool’s <0191> wrath < 03708> is heavier
<03515> than them both <08147>.

Pro 27:04 Wrath <02534> is cruel <0395>, and anger <0639> is
outrageous <07858>; but who is able to stand <05975> (8799)
before <06440> envy <07068>?

Pro 27:05 ¶ Open <01540> (8794) rebuke <08433> is better <02896>
than secret <05641> (8794) love <0160>.

Pro 27:06 Faithful <0539> (8737) are the wounds < 06482> of a
friend <0157> (8802); but the kisses <05390> of an enemy <08130>
(8802) are deceitful <06280> (8737).

Pro 27:07 ¶ The full <07649> soul <05315> loatheth <0947> (8799)
an honeycomb <05317>; but to the hungry <07457> soul <05315>
every bitter thing <04751> is sweet <04966>.

Pro 27:08 ¶ As a bird <06833> that wandereth <05074> (8802) from
her nest <07064>, so is a man <0376> that wandereth <05074>
(8802) from his place <04725>.

Pro 27:09 ¶ Ointment <08081> and perfume <07004> rejoice <08055>
(8762) the heart <03820>: so doth the sweetness < 04986> of a
man’s friend <07453> by hearty <05315> counsel < 06098>.

Pro 27:10 Thine own friend <07453>, and thy father’s < 01>
friend <07453>, forsake <05800> (8799) not; neither go <0935>
(8799) into thy brother’s <0251> house <01004> in the day
<03117> of thy calamity <0343>: for better < 02896> is a
neighbour <07934> that is near <07138> than a brother <0251> far
off <07350>.

Pro 27:11 ¶ My son <01121>, be wise <02449> (8798), and make my
heart <03820> glad <08055> (8761), that I may answer <07725>
(8686) <01697> him that reproacheth <02778> (8802) me.

Pro 27:12 ¶ A prudent <06175> man foreseeth <07200> (8804) the
evil <07451>, and hideth <05641> (8738) himself; but the simple
<06612> pass on <05674> (8804), and are punished < 06064> (8738).

Pro 27:13 ¶ Take <03947> (8798) his garment <0899> that is
surety <06148> (8804) for a stranger <02114> (8801), and take a
pledge <02254> (8798) of him for a strange woman < 05237>.

Pro 27:14 ¶ He that blesseth <01288> (8764) his friend < 07453>
with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, rising early < 07925> (8687)
in the morning <01242>, it shall be counted <02803> (8735) a
curse <07045> to him.

Pro 27:15 ¶ A continual <02956> (8802) dropping < 01812> in a
very rainy <05464> day <03117> and a contentious < 04079> (8675)
<04066> woman <0802> are alike <07737> (8739).

Pro 27:16 Whosoever hideth <06845> (8802) her hideth < 06845>
(8804) the wind <07307>, and the ointment <08081> of his right
hand <03225>, which bewrayeth <07121> (8799) itself.

Pro 27:17 ¶ Iron <01270> sharpeneth <02300> (8799) iron <01270>;
so a man <0376> sharpeneth <02300> (8686) the countenance
<06440> of his friend <07453>.

Pro 27:18 ¶ Whoso keepeth <05341> (8802) the fig tree < 08384>
shall eat <0398> (8799) the fruit <06529> thereof: so he that
waiteth <08104> (8802) on his master <0113> shall be honoured
<03513> (8792).

Pro 27:19 ¶ As in water <04325> face <06440> answereth to face
<06440>, so the heart <03820> of man <0120> to man <0120>.

Pro 27:20 ¶ Hell <07585> and destruction <011> (8675) <010> are
never <03808> full <07646> (8799); so the eyes < 05869> of man
<0120> are never satisfied <07646> (8799).

Pro 27:21 ¶ As the fining pot <04715> for silver < 03701>, and
the furnace <03564> for gold <02091>; so is a man < 0376> to
<06310> his praise <04110>.

Pro 27:22 ¶ Though thou shouldest bray <03806> (8799) a fool
<0191> in a mortar <04388> among <08432> wheat <07383> with a
pestle <05940>, yet will not his foolishness <0200> depart
<05493> (8799) from him.

Pro 27:23 ¶ Be thou diligent <03045> (8799) to know < 03045>
(8800) the state <06440> of thy flocks <06629>, and look <07896>
(8798) well <03820> to thy herds <05739>.

Pro 27:24 For riches <02633> are not for ever <05769> : and doth
the crown <05145> endure to every <01755> generation <01755>?

Pro 27:25 The hay <02682> appeareth <01540> (8804), and the
tender grass <01877> sheweth <07200> (8738) itself, and herbs
<06212> of the mountains <02022> are gathered < 0622> (8738).

Pro 27:26 The lambs <03532> are for thy clothing < 03830>, and
the goats <06260> are the price <04242> of the field <07704>.

Pro 27:27 And thou shalt have goats <05795>‘ milk < 02461>
enough <01767> for thy food <03899>, for the food < 03899> of thy
household <01004>, and for the maintenance <02416> for thy
maidens <05291>.

Pro 28:01 ¶ The wicked <07563> flee <05127> (8804) when no man
pursueth <07291> (8802): but the righteous <06662> are bold
<0982> (8799) as a lion <03715>.

Pro 28:02 ¶ For the transgression <06588> of a land < 0776> many
<07227> are the princes <08269> thereof: but by a man <0120> of
understanding <0995> (8688) and knowledge <03045> (8802) the
state <03651> thereof shall be prolonged <0748> (8686).

Pro 28:03 ¶ A poor <07326> (8802) man <01397> that oppresseth
<06231> (8802) the poor <01800> is like a sweeping <05502>
(8802) rain <04306> which leaveth no food <03899>.

Pro 28:04 ¶ They that forsake <05800> (8802) the law < 08451>
praise <01984> (8762) the wicked <07563>: but such as keep
<08104> (8802) the law <08451> contend <01624> (8691) with them.

Pro 28:05 ¶ Evil <07451> men <0582> understand < 0995> (8799) not
judgment <04941>: but they that seek <01245> (8764) the LORD
<03068> understand <0995> (8799) all things.

Pro 28:06 ¶ Better <02896> is the poor <07326> (8802) that
walketh <01980> (8802) in his uprightness <08537>, than he that
is perverse <06141> in his ways <01870>, though he be rich
<06223>.

Pro 28:07 ¶ Whoso keepeth <05341> (8802) the law < 08451> is a
wise <0995> (8688) son <01121>: but he that is a companion
<07462> (8802) of riotous <02151> (8802) men shameth <03637>
(8686) his father <01>.

Pro 28:08 ¶ He that by usury <05392> and unjust gain < 08636>
increaseth <07235> (8688) his substance <01952>, he shall gather
<06908> (8762) it for him that will pity <02603> (8802) the poor
<01800>.

Pro 28:09 ¶ He that turneth away <05493> (8688) his ear < 0241>
from hearing <08085> (8800) the law <08451>, even his prayer
<08605> shall be abomination <08441>.

Pro 28:10 ¶ Whoso causeth the righteous <03477> to go astray
<07686> (8688) in an evil <07451> way <01870>, he shall fall
<05307> (8799) himself into his own pit <07816>: but the upright
<08549> shall have good <02896> things in possession <05157>
(8799).

Pro 28:11 ¶ The rich <06223> man <0376> is wise < 02450> in his
own conceit <05869>; but the poor <01800> that hath
understanding <0995> (8688) searcheth him out <02713> (8799).

Pro 28:12 ¶ When righteous <06662> men do rejoice < 05970> (8800),
there is great <07227> glory <08597>: but when the wicked
<07563> rise <06965> (8800), a man <0120> is hidden <02664>
(8792).

Pro 28:13 ¶ He that covereth <03680> (8764) his sins < 06588>
shall not prosper <06743> (8686): but whoso confesseth < 03034>
(8688) and forsaketh <05800> (8802) them shall have mercy
<07355> (8792).

Pro 28:14 ¶ Happy <0835> is the man <0120> that feareth <06342>
(8764) alway <08548>: but he that hardeneth <07185> (8688) his
heart <03820> shall fall <05307> (8799) into mischief <07451>.

Pro 28:15 ¶ As a roaring <05098> (8802) lion <0738>, and a
ranging <08264> (8802) bear <01677>; so is a wicked <07563>
ruler <04910> (8802) over the poor <01800> people < 05971>.

Pro 28:16 ¶ The prince <05057> that wanteth <02638>
understanding <08394> is also a great <07227> oppressor <04642>:
but he that hateth <08130> (8802) covetousness <01215> shall
prolong <0748> (8686) his days <03117>.

Pro 28:17 ¶ A man <0120> that doeth violence <06231> (8803) to
the blood <01818> of any person <05315> shall flee <05127>
(8799) to the pit <0953>; let no man stay <08551> (8799) him.

Pro 28:18 ¶ Whoso walketh <01980> (8802) uprightly < 08549> shall
be saved <03467> (8735): but he that is perverse < 06140> (8737)
in his ways <01870> shall fall <05307> (8799) at once <0259>.

Pro 28:19 ¶ He that tilleth <05647> (8802) his land < 0127> shall
have plenty <07646> (8799) of bread <03899>: but he that
followeth <07291> (8764) after vain <07386> persons shall have
poverty enough <07389>.

thee; deny <04513> (8799) me them not before I die < 04191>

lifted up <05375> (8735).

Pro 30:14 There is a generation <01755>, whose teeth < 08127>

earth <0776>, and the needy <034> from among men < 0120>.

yea, four <0702> things say <0559> (8804) not, It is enough
<01952>:

Pro 30:16 The grave <07585>; and the barren <06115> womb
<07356>; the earth <0776> that is not filled < 07646> (8804) with
water <04325>; and the fire <0784> that saith < 0559> (8804) not,
It is enough <01952>.

father <01>, and despiseth <0936> (8799) to obey < 03349> his
mother <0517>, the ravens <06158> of the valley < 05158> shall
pick it out <05365> (8799), and the young <01121> eagles <05404>
shall eat <0398> (8799) it.

Pro 30:18 ¶ There be three <07969> things which are too
wonderful <06381> (8738) for me, yea, four <0702> which I know
<03045> (8804) not:

Pro 30:19 The way <01870> of an eagle <05404> in the air
<08064>; the way <01870> of a serpent <05175> upon a rock
<06697>; the way <01870> of a ship <0591> in the midst <03820>
of the sea <03220>; and the way <01870> of a man < 01397> with a
maid <05959>.

Pro 30:20 Such is the way <01870> of an adulterous < 05003>
(8764) woman <0802>; she eateth <0398> (8804), and wipeth
<04229> (8804) her mouth <06310>, and saith < 0559> (8804), I
have done <06466> (8804) no wickedness <0205>.

Pro 30:21 For three <07969> things the earth <0776> is
disquieted <07264> (8804), and for four <0702> which it cannot
<03201> (8799) bear <05375> (8800):

and a fool <05036> when he is filled <07646> (8799) with meat
<03899>;

married <01166> (8735); and an handmaid <08198> that is heir
<03423> (8799) to her mistress <01404>.

Pro 30:24 ¶ There be four <0702> things which are little <06996>
upon the earth <0776>, but they are exceeding <02449> (8794)
wise <02450>:

Pro 30:25 The ants <05244> are a people <05971> not strong
<05794>, yet they prepare <03559> (8686) their meat <03899> in
the summer <07019>;

Pro 30:26 The conies <08227> are but a feeble <06099> folk
<05971>, yet make <07760> (8799) they their houses <01004> in
the rocks <05553>;

Pro 30:29 ¶ There be three <07969> things which go < 06806> well
<03190> (8688), yea, four <0702> are comely < 02895> (8688) in
going <03212> (8800):

beasts <0929>, and turneth not away <07725> (8799) for <06440>
any;

Pro 30:31 A greyhound <04975> <02223>; an he goat <08495> also
<0176>; and a king <04428>, against whom there is no rising up
<0510>.

Pro 30:32 If thou hast done foolishly <05034> (8804) in lifting
up <05375> (8692) thyself, or if thou hast thought evil < 02161>
(8804), lay thine hand <03027> upon thy mouth <06310>.

Pro 30:33 Surely the churning <04330> of milk <02461> bringeth
forth <03318> (8686) butter <02529>, and the wringing <04330> of
the nose <0639> bringeth forth <03318> (8686) blood <01818>: so
the forcing <04330> of wrath <0639> bringeth forth <03318>
(8686) strife <07379>.

Pro 31:01 ¶ The words <01697> of king <04428> Lemuel <03927>,
the prophecy <04853> that his mother <0517> taught <03256>
(8765) him.

womb <0990>? and what, the son <01248> of my vows < 05088>?

women <0802>, nor thy ways <01870> to that which destroyeth
<04229> (8687) kings <04428>.

Pro 31:04 It is not for kings <04428>, O Lemuel < 03927>, it is
not for kings <04428> to drink <08354> (8800) wine <03196>; nor
for <0335> (8675) <0176> princes <07336> (8802) strong drink
<07941>:

Pro 31:05 Lest they drink <08354> (8799), and forget < 07911>

Pro 31:07 Let him drink <08354> (8799), and forget < 07911>

misery <05999> no more.

Pro 31:09 Open <06605> (8798) thy mouth <06310>, judge <08199>
(8798) righteously <06664>, and plead <01777> (8798) the cause
of the poor <06041> and needy <034>.

Pro 31:10 ¶ Who can find <04672> (8799) a virtuous < 02428> woman
<0802>? for her price <04377> is far <07350> above rubies
<06443>.

Pro 31:11 The heart <03820> of her husband <01167> doth safely
trust <0982> (8804) in her, so that he shall have no need
<02637> (8799) of spoil <07998>.

<06593>, and worketh <06213> (8799) willingly < 02656> with her
hands <03709>.

<04801>.

Pro 31:15 She riseth <06965> (8799) also while it is yet night
<03915>, and giveth <05414> (8799) meat <02964> to her household
<01004>, and a portion <02706> to her maidens < 05291>.

Pro 31:16 She considereth <02161> (8804) a field < 07704>, and
buyeth <03947> (8799) it: with the fruit <06529> of her hands
<03709> she planteth <05193> (8804) a vineyard < 03754>.

Pro 31:17 She girdeth <02296> (8804) her loins < 04975> with

<02220>.

Pro 31:18 She perceiveth <02938> (8804) that her merchandise
