Proverbs
Prv1:
The proverbs of Solomon. My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
Wisdom calls aloud. The complacency of fools destroys them.
Prv2:
My son, apply your heart to understanding. For the LORD gives wisdom.
It will save you from the way of evil, and from the adulteress.
Prv3:
My son, trust in the LORD with all your heart. Do not despise his
discipline. Wisdom is a tree of life. Do not quarrel without cause.
Prv4:
Listen, my sons: Get wisdom. The path of the righteous is like the
morning sun. Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Prv5:
My son, listen to my words. In the end an adulteress is bitter as
wormwood. Keep away from her. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Prv6:
A little slumber, and poverty will come like a bandit. A scoundrel sows
discord. My son, a man who commits adultery destroys himself.
Prv7:
My son, wisdom will keep you from the adulteress. I saw her seducing a
young man. He followed her like an ox going to the slaughter.
Prv8:
Wisdom cries aloud: "My mouth speaks truth. The LORD brought me forth
at the beginning of his works. Whoever finds me finds life."
Prv9:
Wisdom has built her house. She says, "Come, leave your folly." The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Folly knows nothing.
Prv10:
A wise son makes a glad father. Love covers all offences. With many
words, sin is not lacking. The righteous will never be uprooted.
Prv11:
The LORD hates dishonest scales. The wicked earn false wages. Whoever
gives water will get water. Whoever trusts in riches will fall.
Prv12:
No one finds security by wickedness. Those who work the land have food.
Rash words pierce like a sword. Righteousness leads to life.
Prv13:
The righteous hate lies. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Whoever
heeds reproof is honoured. Whoever spares the rod hates his son.
Prv14: The talk of fools is a rod for their backs. Even in laughter the heart may ache. Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker.
Prv15:
A gentle answer turns away wrath. The eyes of the LORD are everywhere.
Plans fail for lack of counsel. The LORD hears the righteous.
Prv16:
A man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. Kings detest evil.
Pride goes before destruction. Wisdom is a fountain of life.
Prv17:
A wise servant will rule over a shameful son. Starting a quarrel is
like breaching a dam. Even a fool seems wise if he keeps silent.
Prv18:
A fool delights in his own opinions. The name of LORD is a strong
tower. A gift opens the way. The tongue can bring life or death.
Prv19:
Wealth makes friends. A false witness will not go unpunished. A good
wife is from the LORD. Whoever helps the poor lends to the LORD.
Prv20:
Wine is a mocker, beer a brawler. Even a child is known by his deeds.
The LORD hates false weights. It is a snare to make rash vows.
Prv21:
To do justice is better than sacrifice. Better to live on the roof than
with a quarrelsome wife. No plans can avail against the LORD.
Prv22:
A good name is better than riches. Train a child and he will not go
astray. Incline your ear and apply your heart to my teaching.
Prv23:
Do not wear yourself out to get rich. Do not move a boundary marker.
Buy the truth, and do not sell it. Do not linger long over wine.
Prv24:
Do not envy the wicked. Wisdom is sweet to the soul. Fear the LORD and
the king, my son. I saw thorns in the field of the sluggard.
Prv25:
Do not exalt yourself in the king's presence. If your enemy is hungry,
give him food to eat. To seek one's own glory is not glory.
Prv26:
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. Without
gossip a quarrel dies down. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it.
Prv27:
Faithful are the wounds of a friend. A loud blessing in the morning
will be taken as a curse. A person is tested by being praised.
Prv28:
Better to be poor and honest than crooked and rich. Whoever confesses
sins will find mercy. Whoever trusts in the LORD will prosper.
Prv29:
By justice a king builds up the land. Whether a fool rages or laughs,
there is no peace. Correct your son and he will give you rest.
Prv30:
Every word of God is pure. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Four
things are never satisfied: Sheol, a barren womb, earth and fire.
Prv31:
Speak up for the speechless. Who can find an excellent wife? She buys a
field, she makes garments, she watches over her household.
