kjv - Proverbs:1-5

kjv@Proverbs:1:1 @ The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

kjv@Proverbs:1:2 @ To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

kjv@Proverbs:1:3 @ To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

kjv@Proverbs:1:4 @ To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

kjv@Proverbs:1:5 @ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

kjv@Proverbs:1:6 @ To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

kjv@Proverbs:1:7 @ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

kjv@Proverbs:1:8 @ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

kjv@Proverbs:1:9 @ For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

kjv@Proverbs:1:10 @ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

kjv@Proverbs:1:11 @ If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

kjv@Proverbs:1:12 @ Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

kjv@Proverbs:1:13 @ We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

kjv@Proverbs:1:14 @ Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

kjv@Proverbs:1:15 @ My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

kjv@Proverbs:1:16 @ For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

kjv@Proverbs:1:17 @ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

kjv@Proverbs:1:18 @ And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

kjv@Proverbs:1:19 @ So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

kjv@Proverbs:1:20 @ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

kjv@Proverbs:1:21 @ She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

kjv@Proverbs:1:22 @ How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

kjv@Proverbs:1:23 @ Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

kjv@Proverbs:1:24 @ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

kjv@Proverbs:1:25 @ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

kjv@Proverbs:1:26 @ I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

kjv@Proverbs:1:27 @ When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

kjv@Proverbs:1:28 @ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

kjv@Proverbs:1:29 @ For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

kjv@Proverbs:1:30 @ They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

kjv@Proverbs:1:31 @ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

kjv@Proverbs:1:32 @ For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

kjv@Proverbs:1:33 @ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

kjv@Proverbs:2:1 @ My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

kjv@Proverbs:2:2 @ So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

kjv@Proverbs:2:3 @ Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

kjv@Proverbs:2:4 @ If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

kjv@Proverbs:2:5 @ Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

kjv@Proverbs:2:6 @ For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:2:7 @ He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

kjv@Proverbs:2:8 @ He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

kjv@Proverbs:2:9 @ Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

kjv@Proverbs:2:10 @ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

kjv@Proverbs:2:11 @ Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

kjv@Proverbs:2:12 @ To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

kjv@Proverbs:2:13 @ Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

kjv@Proverbs:2:14 @ Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

kjv@Proverbs:2:15 @ Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

kjv@Proverbs:2:16 @ To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

kjv@Proverbs:2:17 @ Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

kjv@Proverbs:2:18 @ For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

kjv@Proverbs:2:19 @ None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

kjv@Proverbs:2:20 @ That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

kjv@Proverbs:2:21 @ For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

kjv@Proverbs:2:22 @ But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

kjv@Proverbs:3:1 @ My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

kjv@Proverbs:3:2 @ For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

kjv@Proverbs:3:3 @ Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

kjv@Proverbs:3:4 @ So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

kjv@Proverbs:3:5 @ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:3:6 @ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

kjv@Proverbs:3:7 @ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

kjv@Proverbs:3:8 @ It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

kjv@Proverbs:3:9 @ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

kjv@Proverbs:3:10 @ So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

kjv@Proverbs:3:11 @ My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

kjv@Proverbs:3:12 @ For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

kjv@Proverbs:3:13 @ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:3:14 @ For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

kjv@Proverbs:3:15 @ She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

kjv@Proverbs:3:16 @ Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

kjv@Proverbs:3:17 @ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

kjv@Proverbs:3:18 @ She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

kjv@Proverbs:3:19 @ The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

kjv@Proverbs:3:20 @ By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

kjv@Proverbs:3:21 @ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

kjv@Proverbs:3:22 @ So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

kjv@Proverbs:3:23 @ Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

kjv@Proverbs:3:24 @ When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

kjv@Proverbs:3:25 @ Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

kjv@Proverbs:3:26 @ For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

kjv@Proverbs:3:27 @ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

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

kjv@Proverbs:3:29 @ Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

kjv@Proverbs:3:30 @ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

kjv@Proverbs:3:31 @ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

kjv@Proverbs:3:32 @ For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

kjv@Proverbs:3:33 @ The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

kjv@Proverbs:3:34 @ Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

kjv@Proverbs:3:35 @ The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

kjv@Proverbs:4:1 @ Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:4:2 @ For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

kjv@Proverbs:4:3 @ For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

kjv@Proverbs:4:4 @ He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

kjv@Proverbs:4:5 @ Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

kjv@Proverbs:4:6 @ Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

kjv@Proverbs:4:7 @ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:4:8 @ Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

kjv@Proverbs:4:9 @ She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

kjv@Proverbs:4:10 @ Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

kjv@Proverbs:4:11 @ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

kjv@Proverbs:4:12 @ When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

kjv@Proverbs:4:13 @ Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

kjv@Proverbs:4:14 @ Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

kjv@Proverbs:4:15 @ Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

kjv@Proverbs:4:16 @ For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

kjv@Proverbs:4:17 @ For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

kjv@Proverbs:4:18 @ But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

kjv@Proverbs:4:19 @ The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

kjv@Proverbs:4:20 @ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

kjv@Proverbs:4:21 @ Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

kjv@Proverbs:4:22 @ For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

kjv@Proverbs:4:23 @ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

kjv@Proverbs:4:24 @ Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

kjv@Proverbs:4:25 @ Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

kjv@Proverbs:4:26 @ Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

kjv@Proverbs:4:27 @ Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

kjv@Proverbs:5:1 @ My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

kjv@Proverbs:5:2 @ That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

kjv@Proverbs:5:3 @ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

kjv@Proverbs:5:4 @ But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

kjv@Proverbs:5:5 @ Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

kjv@Proverbs:5:6 @ Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

kjv@Proverbs:5:7 @ Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

kjv@Proverbs:5:8 @ Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

kjv@Proverbs:5:9 @ Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

kjv@Proverbs:5:10 @ Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

kjv@Proverbs:5:11 @ And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

kjv@Proverbs:5:12 @ And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

kjv@Proverbs:5:13 @ And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

kjv@Proverbs:5:14 @ I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

kjv@Proverbs:5:15 @ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

kjv@Proverbs:5:16 @ Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

kjv@Proverbs:5:17 @ Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

kjv@Proverbs:5:18 @ Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

kjv@Proverbs:5:19 @ Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

kjv@Proverbs:5:20 @ And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

kjv@Proverbs:5:21 @ For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

kjv@Proverbs:5:22 @ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

kjv@Proverbs:5:23 @ He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

kjv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
