nkjv Proverbs:6-10
nkjv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
nkjv@Proverbs:6:2 @ You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:3 @ So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:4 @ Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:5 @ Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:6 @ Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,
nkjv@Proverbs:6:7 @ Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler,
nkjv@Proverbs:6:8 @ Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?
nkjv@Proverbs:6:10 @ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep--
nkjv@Proverbs:6:11 @ So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth;
nkjv@Proverbs:6:13 @ He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers;
nkjv@Proverbs:6:14 @ Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:15 @ Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:16 @ These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
nkjv@Proverbs:6:17 @ A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
nkjv@Proverbs:6:18 @ A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
nkjv@Proverbs:6:19 @ A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:21 @ Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
nkjv@Proverbs:6:24 @ To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:26 @ For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
nkjv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?
nkjv@Proverbs:6:29 @ So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:30 @ People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:31 @ Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:32 @ Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:33 @ Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy is a husband's fury; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
nkjv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:1 @ My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:2 @ Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:3 @ Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:4 @ Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your nearest kin,
nkjv@Proverbs:7:5 @ That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:6 @ For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,
nkjv@Proverbs:7:7 @ And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding,
nkjv@Proverbs:7:8 @ Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her house
nkjv@Proverbs:7:9 @ In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:10 @ And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:11 @ She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:12 @ At times she was outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:13 @ So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him:
nkjv@Proverbs:7:14 @ "I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:15 @ So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:16 @ I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:17 @ I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:18 @ Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:19 @ For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
nkjv@Proverbs:7:20 @ He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come home on the appointed day."
nkjv@Proverbs:7:21 @ With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:22 @ Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
nkjv@Proverbs:7:23 @ Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:24 @ Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
nkjv@Proverbs:7:25 @ Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;
nkjv@Proverbs:7:26 @ For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men.
nkjv@Proverbs:7:27 @ Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:1 @ Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice?
nkjv@Proverbs:8:2 @ She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:3 @ She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors:
nkjv@Proverbs:8:4 @ "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:5 @ O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:6 @ Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
nkjv@Proverbs:8:7 @ For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:8 @ All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:9 @ They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:10 @ Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
nkjv@Proverbs:8:11 @ For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:12 @ "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:13 @ The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:14 @ Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:15 @ By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:16 @ By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:17 @ I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:18 @ Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:19 @ My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:20 @ I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:21 @ That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:22 @ "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:23 @ I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:24 @ When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:25 @ Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth;
nkjv@Proverbs:8:26 @ While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primal dust of the world.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:27 @ When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:28 @ When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:29 @ When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:30 @ Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:31 @ Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:32 @ "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:33 @ Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:34 @ Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:35 @ For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the LORD;
nkjv@Proverbs:8:36 @ But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death."
