kjv - Proverbs:6-10

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

kjv@Proverbs:6:2 @ Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

kjv@Proverbs:6:3 @ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

kjv@Proverbs:6:4 @ Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

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

kjv@Proverbs:6:6 @ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

kjv@Proverbs:6:7 @ Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

kjv@Proverbs:6:8 @ Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

kjv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

kjv@Proverbs:6:10 @ Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

kjv@Proverbs:6:11 @ So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

kjv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

kjv@Proverbs:6:13 @ He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

kjv@Proverbs:6:14 @ Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

kjv@Proverbs:6:15 @ Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

kjv@Proverbs:6:16 @ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

kjv@Proverbs:6:17 @ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

kjv@Proverbs:6:18 @ An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

kjv@Proverbs:6:19 @ A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

kjv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

kjv@Proverbs:6:21 @ Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

kjv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

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

kjv@Proverbs:6:24 @ To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

kjv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

kjv@Proverbs:6:26 @ For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

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

kjv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

kjv@Proverbs:6:29 @ So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

kjv@Proverbs:6:30 @ Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

kjv@Proverbs:6:31 @ But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

kjv@Proverbs:6:32 @ But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

kjv@Proverbs:6:33 @ A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

kjv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

kjv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

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

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

kjv@Proverbs:7:3 @ Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

kjv@Proverbs:7:4 @ Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

kjv@Proverbs:7:5 @ That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

kjv@Proverbs:7:6 @ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

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

kjv@Proverbs:7:8 @ Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

kjv@Proverbs:7:9 @ In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

kjv@Proverbs:7:10 @ And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

kjv@Proverbs:7:11 @ (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

kjv@Proverbs:7:12 @ Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

kjv@Proverbs:7:13 @ So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

kjv@Proverbs:7:14 @ I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

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

kjv@Proverbs:7:16 @ I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

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

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

kjv@Proverbs:7:19 @ For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

kjv@Proverbs:7:20 @ He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

kjv@Proverbs:7:21 @ With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

kjv@Proverbs:7:22 @ He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

kjv@Proverbs:7:23 @ Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

kjv@Proverbs:7:24 @ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

kjv@Proverbs:7:25 @ Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

kjv@Proverbs:7:26 @ For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

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

kjv@Proverbs:8:1 @ Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

kjv@Proverbs:8:2 @ She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

kjv@Proverbs:8:3 @ She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

kjv@Proverbs:8:4 @ Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

kjv@Proverbs:8:5 @ O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

kjv@Proverbs:8:6 @ Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

kjv@Proverbs:8:7 @ For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

kjv@Proverbs:8:8 @ All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

kjv@Proverbs:8:9 @ They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

kjv@Proverbs:8:10 @ Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

kjv@Proverbs:8:11 @ For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

kjv@Proverbs:8:12 @ I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

kjv@Proverbs:8:13 @ The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

kjv@Proverbs:8:14 @ Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

kjv@Proverbs:8:15 @ By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

kjv@Proverbs:8:16 @ By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

kjv@Proverbs:8:17 @ I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

kjv@Proverbs:8:18 @ Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

kjv@Proverbs:8:19 @ My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

kjv@Proverbs:8:20 @ I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

kjv@Proverbs:8:21 @ That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

kjv@Proverbs:8:22 @ The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

kjv@Proverbs:8:23 @ I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

kjv@Proverbs:8:24 @ When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

kjv@Proverbs:8:25 @ Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

kjv@Proverbs:8:26 @ While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

kjv@Proverbs:8:27 @ When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

kjv@Proverbs:8:28 @ When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

kjv@Proverbs:8:29 @ When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

kjv@Proverbs:8:30 @ Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

kjv@Proverbs:8:31 @ Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

kjv@Proverbs:8:32 @ Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

kjv@Proverbs:8:33 @ Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

kjv@Proverbs:8:34 @ Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

kjv@Proverbs:8:35 @ For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

kjv@Proverbs:8:36 @ But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

kjv@Proverbs:9:1 @ Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

kjv@Proverbs:9:2 @ She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

kjv@Proverbs:9:3 @ She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

kjv@Proverbs:9:4 @ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

kjv@Proverbs:9:5 @ Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

kjv@Proverbs:9:6 @ Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:9:7 @ He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

kjv@Proverbs:9:8 @ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

kjv@Proverbs:9:9 @ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

kjv@Proverbs:9:10 @ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

kjv@Proverbs:9:11 @ For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

kjv@Proverbs:9:12 @ If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

kjv@Proverbs:9:13 @ A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

kjv@Proverbs:9:14 @ For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

kjv@Proverbs:9:15 @ To call passengers who go right on their ways:

kjv@Proverbs:9:16 @ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

kjv@Proverbs:9:17 @ Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

kjv@Proverbs:9:18 @ But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
