acv - Proverbs:4-7

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

acv@Proverbs:4:2 @ For I give you good doctrine. Forsake ye not my law.

acv@Proverbs:4:3 @ For I was a son to my father, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

acv@Proverbs:4:4 @ And he taught me, and said to me, Let thy heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.

acv@Proverbs:4:5 @ Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not forget, nor decline from the words of my mouth.

acv@Proverbs:4:6 @ Do not forsake her, and she will preserve thee. Love her, and she will keep thee.

acv@Proverbs:4:7 @ Wisdom [is] the principal thing. Get wisdom, yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

acv@Proverbs:4:8 @ Exalt her, and she will promote thee. She will bring thee to honor when thou embrace her.

acv@Proverbs:4:9 @ She will give to thy head a garland of grace, a crown of beauty she will deliver to thee.

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

acv@Proverbs:4:11 @ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom. I have led thee in paths of uprightness.

acv@Proverbs:4:12 @ When thou go, thy steps shall not be restricted. And if thou run, thou shall not stumble.

acv@Proverbs:4:13 @ Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is thy life.

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

acv@Proverbs:4:15 @ Avoid it. Do not pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.

acv@Proverbs:4:16 @ For they do not sleep unless they do evil. And their sleep is taken away unless they cause to fall.

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

acv@Proverbs:4:18 @ But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

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

acv@Proverbs:4:20 @ My son, attend to my words. Incline thine ear to my sayings.

acv@Proverbs:4:21 @ Let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep them in the midst of thy heart.

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

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

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

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

acv@Proverbs:4:26 @ Make the path of thy feet level, and let all thy ways be established.

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

acv@Proverbs:5:1 @ My son, attend to my wisdom. Incline thine ear to my understanding,

acv@Proverbs:5:2 @ that thou may preserve discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

acv@Proverbs:5:3 @ For the lips of an interloping woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.

acv@Proverbs:5:4 @ But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

acv@Proverbs:5:5 @ Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold on Sheol,

acv@Proverbs:5:6 @ so that she does not find the level path of life. Her ways are unstable, [and] she does not know.

acv@Proverbs:5:7 @ Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.

acv@Proverbs:5:8 @ Remove thy way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,

acv@Proverbs:5:9 @ lest thou give thine honor to others, and thy years to the cruel,

acv@Proverbs:5:10 @ lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labors [be] in the house of an alien,

acv@Proverbs:5:11 @ and thou mourn at thy latter end when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

acv@Proverbs:5:12 @ and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.

acv@Proverbs:5:13 @ Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

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

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

acv@Proverbs:5:16 @ Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and streams of water in the streets?

acv@Proverbs:5:17 @ Let them be for thyself alone, and not for strangers with thee.

acv@Proverbs:5:18 @ Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of thy youth:

acv@Proverbs:5:19 @ a loving hind and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love.

acv@Proverbs:5:20 @ For why should thou, my son, be ravished with an interloping woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

acv@Proverbs:5:21 @ For the ways of man are before the eyes of LORD, and he makes level all his paths.

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

acv@Proverbs:5:23 @ He shall die for lack of instruction. And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

acv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, if thou have become surety for thy neighbor, if thou have struck thy hands for a stranger,

acv@Proverbs:6:2 @ thou are snared with the words of thy mouth, thou are taken with the words of thy mouth.

acv@Proverbs:6:3 @ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou have come into the hand of thy neighbor. Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor.

acv@Proverbs:6:4 @ Do not give sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

acv@Proverbs:6:5 @ Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

acv@Proverbs:6:6 @ Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise.

acv@Proverbs:6:7 @ Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

acv@Proverbs:6:8 @ provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.

acv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long will thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out of thy sleep?

acv@Proverbs:6:10 @ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,

acv@Proverbs:6:11 @ so thy poverty shall come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.

acv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,

acv@Proverbs:6:13 @ who winks with his eyes, who speaks with his feet, who makes signs with his fingers,

acv@Proverbs:6:14 @ in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who sows discord.

acv@Proverbs:6:15 @ Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly. Suddenly he shall be broken, and that without remedy.

acv@Proverbs:6:16 @ There are six things which LORD hates, yea, seven which are an abomination to him:

acv@Proverbs:6:17 @ haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

acv@Proverbs:6:18 @ a heart that devises wicked purposes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

acv@Proverbs:6:19 @ a FALSE witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

acv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and do not forsake the law of thy mother.

acv@Proverbs:6:21 @ Bind them continually upon thy heart. Tie them about thy neck.

acv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When thou walk, it shall lead thee. When thou sleep, it shall watch over thee. And when thou awake, it shall talk with thee.

acv@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

acv@Proverbs:6:24 @ to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.

acv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not lust after her beauty in thy heart, nor let her take thee with her eyelids.

acv@Proverbs:6:26 @ For the price of a harlot is as much as a piece of bread, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life.

acv@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

acv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

acv@Proverbs:6:29 @ So [is] he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her shall not be unpunished.

acv@Proverbs:6:30 @ Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.

acv@Proverbs:6:31 @ Yet if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold. He shall give all the substance of his house.

acv@Proverbs:6:32 @ He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it.

acv@Proverbs:6:33 @ Wounds and dishonor he shall get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

acv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy is a man's fury, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

acv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be satisfied, though thou give many gifts.

acv@Proverbs:7:1 @ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

acv@Proverbs:7:2 @ Keep my commandments and live, and my law as the apple of thine eye.

acv@Proverbs:7:3 @ Bind them upon thy fingers. Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.

acv@Proverbs:7:4 @ Say to wisdom, Thou are my sister, and call understanding [thy] kinswoman,

acv@Proverbs:7:5 @ that they may keep thee from the interloping woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words.

acv@Proverbs:7:6 @ For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice,

acv@Proverbs:7:7 @ and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding

acv@Proverbs:7:8 @ passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house,

acv@Proverbs:7:9 @ in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.

acv@Proverbs:7:10 @ And, behold, there met him a woman attired like a harlot, and wily of heart.

acv@Proverbs:7:11 @ She is loud and headstrong. Her feet abide not in her house.

acv@Proverbs:7:12 @ Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, and lays in wait at every corner.

acv@Proverbs:7:13 @ So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him,

acv@Proverbs:7:14 @ Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me. I have paid my vows this day.

acv@Proverbs:7:15 @ Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

acv@Proverbs:7:16 @ I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.

acv@Proverbs:7:17 @ I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

acv@Proverbs:7:18 @ Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning. Let us solace ourselves with love.

acv@Proverbs:7:19 @ For the man is not at home. He has gone a long journey.

acv@Proverbs:7:20 @ He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.

acv@Proverbs:7:21 @ With her much fair speech she causes him to yield. With the flattering of her lips she forces him along.

acv@Proverbs:7:22 @ He goes after her straightaway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,

acv@Proverbs:7:23 @ till an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare. And he does not know that it is for his life.

acv@Proverbs:7:24 @ Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

acv@Proverbs:7:25 @ Let not thy heart decline to her ways. Go not astray in her paths.

acv@Proverbs:7:26 @ For she has cast down many wounded. Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.

acv@Proverbs:7:27 @ Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.

acv@Proverbs:8:1 @ Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding put forth her voice?
