Proverbs:6-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
if thou be surety for thy friend ,
if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger ,
*
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth ,
thou art taken with the words of thy mouth .
*
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 .
*
Give not sleep to thine eyes ,
nor slumber to thine eyelids #
aph #
aph #.
*
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter ,
and as a bird from the hand of the fowler .
*
Go to the ant ,
thou sluggard ;
consider her ways ,
and be wise :
*
Which having no guide ,
overseer ,
or ruler ,
*
Provideth her meat in the summer ,
and gathereth her food in the harvest .
*
How long wilt thou sleep ,
O sluggard ?
when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep ?
*
Yet a little sleep ,
a little slumber ,
a little folding of the hands to sleep :
*
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth ,
and thy want as an armed man .
*
A naughty person ,
a wicked man ,
walketh with a froward mouth .
*
He winketh with his eyes ,
he speaketh with his feet ,
he teacheth with his fingers ;
*
Frowardness is in his heart ,
he deviseth mischief continually ;
he soweth discord .
*
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly pith #
owm #;
suddenly shall he be broken without remedy .
*
These six things doth the LORD hate :
yea ,
seven are an abomination unto him :
*
A proud look ,
a lying tongue ,
and hands that shed innocent blood ,
*
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations ,
feet that be swift in running to mischief ,
*
A false witness that speaketh lies ,
and he that soweth discord among brethren .
*
My son ,
keep thy fathers commandment ,
and forsake not the law of thy mother :
*
Bind them continually upon thine heart ,
and tie them about thy neck .
*
When thou goest ,
it shall lead thee ;
when thou sleepest ,
it shall keep thee ;
and when thou awakest ,
it shall talk with thee .
*
For the commandment is a lamp ;
and the law is light ;
and reproofs of instruction are the way of life :
*
To keep thee from the evil woman ,
from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman .
*
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart ;
neither let her take thee with her eyelids #
aph #
aph #.
*
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread :
and the adulteress #
H376will hunt for the precious life .
*
Can a man take fire in his bosom ,
and his clothes not be burned ?
*
Can one go upon hot coals ,
and his feet not be burned ?
*
So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife ;
whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent .
*
Men do not despise a thief ,
if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry ;
*
But if he be found ,
he shall restore sevenfold shib #
athayim #;
he shall give all the substance of his house .
*
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding :
he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul .
*
A wound and dishonour shall he get ;
and his reproach shall not be wiped away .
*
For jealousy is the rage of a man :
therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance .
*
He will not regard any ransom ;
neither will he rest content ,
though thou givest many gifts .
*
My son ,
keep my words ,
and lay up my commandments with thee .
*
Keep my commandments ,
and live ;
and my law as the apple of thine eye .
*
Bind them upon thy fingers ,
write them upon the table of thine heart .
*
Say unto wisdom ,
Thou art my sister ;
and call understanding thy kinswoman :
*
That they may keep thee from the strange woman ,
from the stranger which flattereth with her words .
*
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement ,
*
And beheld among the simple ones ,
I discerned among the youths ,
a young man void of understanding ,
*
Passing through the street near her corner ;
and he went the way to her house ,
*
In the twilight ,
in the evening yowm #,
in the black and dark night :
*
And ,
behold ,
there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot ,
and subtil of heart .
* (
She is loud and stubborn ;
her feet abide not in her house :
*
Now is she without ,
now in the streets ,
and lieth in wait at every corner . )
*
So she caught him ,
and kissed him ,
and with an impudent face said unto him ,
*
I have peace offerings with me ;
this day have I payed my vows .
*
Therefore came I forth to meet thee ,
diligently to seek thy face ,
and I have found thee .
*
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry ,
with carved works ,
with fine linen of Egypt .
*
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh ,
aloes ,
and cinnamon .
*
Come ,
let us take our fill of love until the morning :
let us solace ourselves with loves .
*
For the goodman is not at home ,
he is gone a long journey :
*
He hath taken a bag of money with him ,
and will come home at the day appointed .
*
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield ,
with the flattering of her lips she forced him .
*
He goeth after her straightway pith #
owm #,
as an ox goeth to the slaughter ,
or as a fool to the correction of the stocks ;
*
Till a dart strike through his liver ;
as a bird hasteth to the snare ,
and knoweth not that it is for his life .
*
Hearken unto me now therefore ,
O ye children ,
and attend to the words of my mouth .
*
Let not thine heart decline to her ways ,
go not astray in her paths .
*
For she hath cast down many wounded :
yea ,
many strong men have been slain by her .
*
Her house is the way to hell sh @#
owl #,
going down to the chambers of death .
*
Doth not wisdom cry ?
and understanding put forth her voice ?
*
She standeth in the top of high places ,
by the way in the places of the paths .
*
She crieth at the gates sha #
ar #,
at the entry of the city ,
at the coming in at the doors .
*
Unto you ,
O men ,
I call ;
and my voice is to the sons of man .
*
O ye simple ,
understand wisdom :
and ,
ye fools ,
be ye of an understanding heart .
*
Hear ;
for I will speak of excellent things ;
and the opening of my lips shall be right things .
*
For my mouth shall speak truth ;
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips .
*
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness ;
there is nothing froward or perverse in them .
*
They are all plain to him that understandeth ,
and right to them that find knowledge da #
ath #.
*
Receive my instruction ,
and not silver ;
and knowledge rather than choice gold .
*
For wisdom is better than rubies ;
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it .
*
I wisdom dwell with prudence ,
and find out knowledge of witty inventions .
*
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil :
pride ge #
ah #,
and arrogancy ga #
own #,
and the evil way ,
and the froward mouth ,
do I hate .
*
Counsel is mine ,
and sound wisdom :
I am understanding ;
I have strength .
*
By me kings reign ,
and princes decree justice .
*
By me princes rule ,
and nobles ,
even all the judges of the earth .
*
I love them that love me ;
and those that seek me early shall find me .
*
Riches and honour are with me ;
yea ,
durable riches and righteousness .
*
My fruit is better than gold ,
yea ,
than fine gold ;
and my revenue than choice silver .
*
I lead in the way of righteousness ,
in the midst of the paths of judgment :
*
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance ;
and I will fill their treasures .
*
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way ,
before his works of old .
*
I was set up from everlasting ,
from the beginning ro #
sh #,
or ever the earth was .
*
When there were no depths ,
I was brought forth ;
when there were no fountains abounding with water .
*
Before the mountains were settled ,
before the hills was I brought forth :
*
While as yet he had not made the earth ,
nor the fields ,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world .
*
When he prepared the heavens ,
I was there :
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth :
*
When he established the clouds above ma #
al #:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep :
*
When he gave to the sea his decree ,
that the waters should not pass his commandment :
when he appointed the foundations of the earth :
*
Then I was by him ,
as one brought up with him :
and I was daily yowm #
his delight ,
rejoicing always before him ;
*
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ;
and my delights were with the sons of men .
*
Now therefore hearken unto me ,
O ye children :
for blessed are they that keep my ways .
*
Hear instruction ,
and be wise ,
and refuse it not .
*
Blessed is the man that heareth me ,
watching daily yowm #
at my gates ,
waiting at the posts of my doors .
*
For whoso findeth me findeth (
8675 )
life ,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD .
*
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul :
all they that hate me love death .
*
Wisdom hath builded her house ,
she hath hewn out her seven pillars :
*
She hath killed her beasts ;
she hath mingled her wine ;
she hath also furnished her table .
*
She hath sent forth her maidens na #
arah #:
she crieth upon the highest places of the city ,
*
Whoso is simple ,
let him turn in hither :
as for him that wanteth understanding ,
she saith to him ,
*
Come ,
eat of my bread ,
and drink of the wine which I have mingled .
*
Forsake the foolish ,
and live ;
and go in the way of understanding .
*
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame :
and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot m #
uwm #.
*
Reprove not a scorner ,
lest he hate thee :
rebuke a wise man ,
and he will love thee .
*
Give instruction to a wise man ,
and he will be yet wiser :
teach a just man ,
and he will increase in learning .
*
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom :
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding .
*
For by me thy days shall be multiplied ,
and the years of thy life shall be increased .
*
If thou be wise ,
thou shalt be wise for thyself :
but if thou scornest ,
thou alone shalt bear it .
*
A foolish woman is clamorous :
she is simple ,
and knoweth nothing .
*
For she sitteth at the door of her house ,
on a seat in the high places of the city ,
*
To call passengers #
who go right on their ways :
*
Whoso is simple ,
let him turn in hither :
and as for him that wanteth understanding ,
she saith to him ,
*
Stolen waters are sweet ,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant .
*
But he knoweth not that the dead are there ;
and that her guests are in the depths of hell sh @#

The proverbs of Solomon .
A wise son maketh a glad father :
but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother .
*
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing :
but righteousness delivereth from death .
*
The LORD will not sufferthe soul of the righteous to famish :
but he casteth away H the substance of the wicked .
*
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand :
but the hand of the diligent maketh rich .
*
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son :
but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame .
*
Blessings are upon the head of the just :
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked .
*
The memory of the just is blessed :
but the name of the wicked shall rot .
*
The wise in heart will receive commandments :
but a prating fool shall fall .
*
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely :
but he that perverteth his ways shall be known .
*
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow :
but a prating fool shall fall .
*
The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life :
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked .
*
Hatred stirreth up strifes :
but love covereth all sins .
*
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found :
but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding .
*
Wise men lay up knowledge da #
ath #:
but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction .
*
The rich mans wealth is his strong city :
the destruction of the poor is their poverty .
*
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life :
the fruit of the wicked to sin chatta #
ah #.
*
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction :
but he that refuseth reproof erreth .
*
He that hideth hatred with lying lips ,
and he that uttereth a slander ,
is a fool .
*
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin :
but he that refraineth his lips is wise .
*
The tongue of the just is as choice silver :
the heart of the wicked is little worth m @#
at #.
*
The lips of the righteous feed many :
but fools die for want of wisdom .
*
The blessing of the LORD ,
it maketh rich ,
and he addeth no sorrow with it .
*
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief :
but a man of understanding hath wisdom .
*
The fear of the wicked ,
it shall come upon him :
but the desire of the righteous shall be granted .
*
As the whirlwind passeth ,
so is the wicked no more :
but the righteous is an everlasting foundation .
*
As vinegar to the teeth ,
and as smoke to the eyes ,
so is the sluggard to them that send him .
*
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days :
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened .
*
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness :
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish .
*
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright :
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity .
*
The righteous shall never be removed :
but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth .
*
The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom :
but the froward tongue shall be cut out .
*
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable :
but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness .
*
A false balance is abomination to the LORD :
but a just weight is his delight .
