kjv Proverbs:22:17-29 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Bow down thine ear ,
and hear the words of the wise ,
and apply thine heart unto my knowledge .
*
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee ;
they shall withal be fitted in thy lips .
*
That thy trust may be in the LORD ,
I have made known to thee this day ,
even to thee .
*
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge ,
*
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth ;
that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee ?
*
Rob not the poor ,
because he is poor :
neither oppress the afflicted in the gate :
*
For the LORD will plead their cause ,
and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them .
*
Make no friendship with an angry man ;
and with a furious man thou shalt not go :
*
Lest thou learn his ways ,
and get a snare to thy soul .
*
Be not thou one of them that strike hands ,
or of them that are sureties for debts .
*
If thou hast nothing to pay ,
why should he take away thy bed from under thee ?
*
Remove not the ancient landmark ,
which thy fathers have set .
*
Seest thou a man diligent in his business ?
he shall stand before kings ;
he shall not stand before mean men .
