mkjv@Proverbs:3:2 @ for they shall add length of days, and long life, and peace, to you.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:3 @ Let not mercy and truth forsake you; tie them around your neck; write them upon the tablet of your heart;

mkjv@Proverbs:3:4 @ and you shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:5 @ Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:6 @ In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:7 @ Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:8 @ Healing shall be to your navel and marrow to your bones.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:9 @ Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase;

mkjv@Proverbs:3:10 @ and your barns shall be filled [with] plenty, and your presses shall burst [with] new wine.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:11 @ My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD; nor be weary with His correction;

mkjv@Proverbs:3:12 @ for whom the LORD loves He corrects, even as a father [corrects] the son [in whom] he delights.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:13 @ Blessed [is] the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:14 @ For the profit from it [is] better than the gain from silver, and its produce more than fine gold;

mkjv@Proverbs:3:15 @ she [is] more precious than rubies; and all the things you can desire are not to be compared with her.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:16 @ Length of days [is] in her right hand; and in her left hand, riches and honor.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:3:18 @ She [is] a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her; and happy [is] everyone who keeps her.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:19 @ The LORD has founded the earth by wisdom; by understanding He has founded the heavens.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:3:21 @ My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; keep sound wisdom and judgment,

mkjv@Proverbs:3:22 @ and they shall be life to your soul and grace to your neck.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:23 @ Then you shall walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:24 @ When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:25 @ Do not be afraid of sudden fear, nor of the destroying of the wicked, when it comes.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:26 @ For the LORD shall be your hope, and shall keep your foot from being taken.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:27 @ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do [it].

mkjv@Proverbs:3:28 @ Do not say to your neighbor, Go and come back again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it beside you:

mkjv@Proverbs:3:29 @ Do not plan evil against your neighbor, since he dwells trustingly by you.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:30 @ Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:31 @ Do not envy the cruel man, and choose none of his ways.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:32 @ For the crooked man [is] hateful to the LORD, but His secret [is] with the righteous.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:33 @ The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked; but He blesses the home of the just.

mkjv@Proverbs:3:34 @ Surely He scorns the scorners; but He gives grace to the lowly.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:1 @ Sons, hear the instruction of a father, and listen in order to know understanding.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:2 @ For I give you good teaching; do not forsake my law.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:4 @ He also taught me, and said to me, Let your heart hold fast my words, keep my commandments and live.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:5 @ Get wisdom, get understanding; forget not; nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:6 @ Do not forsake her, and she shall keep you; love her, and she shall keep you.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:7 @ Wisdom [is] the main thing; get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:8 @ Prize her, and she shall lift you up; she shall bring you to honor when you embrace her.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:9 @ She shall give to your hand an ornament of grace; she shall shield you with a crown of glory.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:10 @ Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life [shall be] many.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:12 @ When you go, your steps shall not be narrowed, and when you run, you shall not stumble.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:13 @ Take fast hold of instruction; do not let go; keep her; for she [is] your life.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:15 @ Avoid it; do not pass by it; turn from it, and pass on!

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

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:18 @ But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:20 @ My son, listen to my words; bow down your ear to my sayings.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:4:22 @ For they [are] life to those who find them, and health to all his flesh.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:23 @ Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:24 @ Put away from you a wicked mouth, and devious lips put far from you.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:25 @ Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:26 @ Ponder the path of your feet, and all your ways [will be] established.

mkjv@Proverbs:4:27 @ Do not turn to the right hand nor to the left; remove your foot from evil.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:1 @ My son, listen to my wisdom; bow your ear to my understanding;

mkjv@Proverbs:5:2 @ in order to keep discretion, [that] your lips may keep knowledge.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:3 @ For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate [is] smoother than oil;

mkjv@Proverbs:5:4 @ but afterward she [is as] bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:5:6 @ lest you should meditate on the path of life, her tracks are movable; you cannot know [them].

mkjv@Proverbs:5:7 @ And now hear me, O sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:8 @ Remove your ways far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,

mkjv@Proverbs:5:9 @ lest you give your honor to others and your years to the cruel;

mkjv@Proverbs:5:10 @ that strangers not be filled [with] your strength, and your labors [be] in the house of a stranger;

mkjv@Proverbs:5:11 @ and you moan when your end [comes], when your flesh and muscle are eaten away,

mkjv@Proverbs:5:12 @ and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;

mkjv@Proverbs:5:13 @ and I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor bowed down my ears to those who taught me!

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

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

mkjv@Proverbs:5:16 @ Should your overflowing spring be scattered abroad [as] rivers of waters in the streets.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:17 @ Let them be only your own, and not strangers' with you.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:18 @ Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:19 @ [Like] the loving deer and pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times, and be ravished always with her love.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:20 @ And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

mkjv@Proverbs:5:21 @ For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and He watches all his paths.

mkjv@Proverbs:5:22 @ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.

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

mkjv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, [if] you are surety for your friend, [if] you struck your palms with a stranger,
