Proverbs commentary by LetGodBeTrue.com

View Details

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

View Details

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

View Details

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

View Details

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

View Details

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

View Details

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

View Details

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

View Details

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

View Details

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

View Details

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

View Details

When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

View Details

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

View Details

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

View Details

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

View Details

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

View Details

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

View Details

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

View Details

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

View Details

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

View Details

So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

View Details

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

View Details

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

View Details

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

View Details

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

View Details

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

View Details

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

View Details

For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:

View Details

Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

View Details

The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

View Details

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

View Details

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

View Details

A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

View Details

To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

View Details

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

View Details

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

View Details

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

View Details

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

View Details

As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

View Details

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

View Details

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

View Details

So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

View Details

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

View Details

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

View Details

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

View Details

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

View Details

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

View Details

Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:

View Details

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

View Details

Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

View Details

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

View Details

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?

View Details

Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

View Details

That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

View Details

He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

View Details

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

View Details

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

View Details

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

View Details

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

View Details

He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

View Details

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

View Details

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

View Details

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

View Details

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

View Details

A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

View Details

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

View Details

He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

View Details

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

View Details

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

View Details

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

View Details

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

View Details

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

View Details

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

View Details

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

View Details

The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

View Details

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

View Details

The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

View Details

The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

View Details

Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

View Details

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

View Details

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

View Details

There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

View Details

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

View Details

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

View Details

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

View Details

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

View Details

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

View Details

The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

View Details

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

View Details

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

View Details

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

View Details

She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

View Details

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

View Details

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

View Details

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

View Details

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

View Details

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

View Details

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

View Details

For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

View Details

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

View Details

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

View Details

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

View Details

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

View Details

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

View Details

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

View Details

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

View Details

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

View Details

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

View Details

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

View Details

By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

View Details

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

View Details

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

View Details

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

View Details

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

View Details

She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

View Details

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

View Details

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

View Details

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

View Details

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

View Details

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

View Details

There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

View Details

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

View Details

The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

View Details

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

View Details

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

View Details

When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

View Details

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

View Details

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

View Details

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

View Details

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

View Details

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

View Details

Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

View Details

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

View Details

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

View Details

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

View Details

A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

View Details

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

View Details

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

View Details

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

View Details

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

View Details

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

View Details

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

View Details

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

View Details

Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

View Details

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

View Details

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

View Details

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

View Details

The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

View Details

He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

View Details

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

View Details

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

View Details

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

View Details

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

View Details

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

View Details

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

View Details

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

View Details

The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

View Details

He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

View Details

A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

View Details

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

View Details

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

View Details

Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

View Details

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

View Details

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

View Details

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

View Details

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

View Details

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

View Details

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

View Details

The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

View Details

He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

View Details

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

View Details

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

View Details

A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

View Details

Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

View Details

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

View Details

He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

View Details

A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

View Details

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

View Details

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

View Details

A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

View Details

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

View Details

He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

View Details

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

View Details

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

View Details

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

View Details

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

View Details

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

View Details

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

View Details

By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

View Details

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

View Details

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

View Details

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

View Details

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

View Details

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

View Details

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

View Details

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

View Details

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

View Details

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

View Details

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

View Details

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

View Details

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

View Details

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

View Details

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

View Details

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

View Details

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

View Details

Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

View Details

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

View Details

And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

View Details

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

View Details

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

View Details

The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

View Details

There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

View Details

There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

View Details

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

View Details

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

View Details

The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

View Details

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

View Details

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

View Details

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

View Details

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

View Details

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

View Details

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

View Details

The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

View Details

As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

View Details

The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

View Details

By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

View Details

Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

View Details

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

View Details

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

View Details

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

View Details

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

View Details

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

View Details

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

View Details

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

View Details

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

View Details

The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

View Details

The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

View Details

It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

View Details

A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

View Details

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

View Details

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

View Details

It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

View Details

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

View Details

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

View Details

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

View Details

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

View Details

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

View Details

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

View Details

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

View Details

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

View Details

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

View Details

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

View Details

In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

View Details

The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

View Details

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

View Details

All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

View Details

The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

View Details

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

View Details

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

View Details

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

View Details

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

View Details

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

View Details

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

View Details

Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

View Details

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

View Details

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

View Details

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

View Details

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

View Details

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

View Details

A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

View Details

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

View Details

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

View Details

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.

View Details

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

View Details

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

View Details

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

View Details

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

View Details

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

View Details

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

View Details

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

View Details

I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

View Details

So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

View Details

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

View Details

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

View Details

He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

View Details

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

View Details

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

View Details

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

View Details

Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

View Details

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

View Details

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

View Details

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

View Details

For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

View Details

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

View Details

Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

View Details

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

View Details

Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

View Details

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

View Details

Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

View Details

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

View Details

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

View Details

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

View Details

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

View Details

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

View Details

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

View Details

Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

View Details

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

View Details

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

View Details

The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

View Details

When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

View Details

The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

View Details

Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

View Details

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

View Details

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

View Details

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

View Details

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

View Details

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

View Details

The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

View Details

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

View Details

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

View Details

Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

View Details

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

View Details

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

View Details

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

View Details

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

View Details

For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

View Details

Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

View Details

The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

View Details

He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

View Details

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

View Details

The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

View Details

When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

View Details

The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

View Details

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.

View Details

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

View Details

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.

View Details

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

View Details

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

View Details

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

View Details

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

View Details

The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.

View Details

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

View Details

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

View Details

An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

View Details

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

View Details

It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

View Details

A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

View Details

A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

View Details

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

View Details

Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

View Details

Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

View Details

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

View Details

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

View Details

The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

View Details

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

View Details

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

View Details

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

View Details

The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

View Details

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

View Details

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

View Details

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

View Details

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

View Details

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

View Details

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

View Details

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

View Details

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

View Details

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

View Details

For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

View Details

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

View Details

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

View Details

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

View Details

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

View Details

Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

View Details

(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

View Details

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

View Details

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

View Details

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

View Details

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

View Details

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

View Details

And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

View Details

Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

View Details

When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

View Details

I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

View Details

Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

View Details

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

View Details

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

View Details

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

View Details

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

View Details

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

View Details

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

View Details

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

View Details

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

View Details

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

View Details

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

View Details

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

View Details

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

View Details

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

View Details

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

View Details

The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

View Details

As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.

View Details

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

View Details

The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

View Details

Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

View Details

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

View Details

For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

View Details

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

View Details

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

View Details

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

View Details

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

View Details

The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

View Details

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

View Details

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

View Details

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

View Details

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

View Details

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

View Details

The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

View Details

The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

View Details

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

View Details

A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

View Details

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

View Details

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

View Details

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

View Details

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

View Details

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

View Details

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

View Details

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

View Details

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

View Details

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

View Details

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

View Details

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

View Details

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

View Details

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

View Details

The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

View Details

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

View Details

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

View Details

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

View Details

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

View Details

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

View Details

The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

View Details

The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

View Details

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

View Details

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

View Details

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

View Details

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

View Details

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

View Details

The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

View Details

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

View Details

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

View Details

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

View Details

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

View Details

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

View Details

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

View Details

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

View Details

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

View Details

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

View Details

For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

View Details

In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

View Details

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

View Details

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

View Details

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

View Details

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

View Details

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

View Details

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

View Details

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

View Details

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

View Details

She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

View Details

Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

View Details

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

View Details

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

View Details

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

View Details

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

View Details

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

View Details

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

View Details

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

View Details

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

View Details

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

View Details

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

View Details

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

View Details

Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

View Details

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

View Details

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

View Details

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

View Details

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

View Details

In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

View Details

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

View Details

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

View Details

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

View Details

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

View Details

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

View Details

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

View Details

Open rebuke is better than secret love.

View Details

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

View Details

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

View Details

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

View Details

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

View Details

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

View Details

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

View Details

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

View Details

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

View Details

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

View Details

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

View Details

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

View Details

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

View Details

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

View Details

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

View Details

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

View Details

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

View Details

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

View Details

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

View Details

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

View Details

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

View Details

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

View Details

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

View Details

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

View Details

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

View Details

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

View Details

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

View Details

It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

View Details

The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

View Details

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

View Details

Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

View Details

A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

View Details

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

View Details

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

View Details

The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

View Details

In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

View Details

A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

View Details

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

View Details

A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

View Details

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

View Details

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

View Details

Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

View Details

A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

View Details

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

View Details

The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

View Details

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

View Details

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

View Details

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

View Details

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

View Details

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

View Details

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

View Details

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

View Details

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

View Details

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

View Details

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

View Details

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

View Details

Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

View Details

For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

View Details

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

View Details

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

View Details

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

View Details

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

View Details

Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

View Details

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

View Details

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

View Details

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

View Details

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

View Details

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

View Details

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

View Details

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

View Details

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

View Details

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

View Details

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

View Details

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

View Details

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

View Details

To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

View Details

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

View Details

To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

View Details

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

View Details

Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

View Details

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

View Details

Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

View Details

And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

View Details

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

View Details

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

View Details

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

View Details

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

View Details

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

View Details

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.

View Details

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

View Details

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

View Details

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

View Details

I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

View Details

Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.

View Details

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

View Details

If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

View Details

Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

View Details

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

View Details

For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

View Details

Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

View Details

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

View Details

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

View Details

They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

View Details

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

View Details

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

View Details

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

View Details

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

View Details

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

View Details

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

View Details

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

View Details

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

View Details

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

View Details

The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

View Details

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

View Details

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

View Details

The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

View Details

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

View Details

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

View Details

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

View Details

Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

View Details

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

View Details

He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

View Details

For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

View Details

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

View Details

The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

View Details

Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

View Details

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

View Details

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

View Details

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

View Details

What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

View Details

The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

View Details

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

View Details

Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

View Details

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

View Details

A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

View Details

A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

View Details

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

View Details

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

View Details

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

View Details

Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

View Details

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

View Details

Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

View Details

At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

View Details

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

View Details

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

View Details

The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

View Details

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

View Details

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

View Details

The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

View Details

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

View Details

The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

View Details

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

View Details

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

View Details

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

View Details

The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

View Details

The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

View Details

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

View Details

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

View Details

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

View Details

He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

View Details

The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

View Details

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

View Details

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

View Details

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

View Details

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

View Details

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

View Details

A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

View Details

Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

View Details

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

View Details

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

View Details

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

View Details

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

View Details

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

View Details

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

View Details

A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

View Details

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

View Details

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

View Details

The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

View Details

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

View Details

Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.|

View Details

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

View Details

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

View Details

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

View Details

A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

View Details

There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:

View Details

The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

View Details

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

View Details

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

View Details

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

View Details

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

View Details

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

View Details

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

View Details

A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

View Details

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

View Details

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

View Details

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

View Details

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

View Details

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

View Details

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

View Details

These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

View Details

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

View Details

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

View Details

Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

View Details

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

View Details

They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

View Details

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

View Details

She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

View Details

A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

View Details

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

View Details

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

View Details

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

View Details

A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

View Details

A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

View Details

The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

View Details

The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

View Details

Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

View Details

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

View Details

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

View Details

An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

View Details

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

View Details

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

View Details

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

View Details

He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

View Details

A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

View Details

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

View Details

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

View Details

The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

View Details

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

View Details

A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

View Details

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

View Details

In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

View Details

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

View Details

A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

View Details

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

View Details

In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

View Details

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

View Details

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

View Details

He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

View Details

The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

View Details

The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

View Details

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

View Details

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

View Details

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

View Details

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

View Details

Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

View Details

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

View Details

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

View Details

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

View Details

So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

View Details

Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

View Details

For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

View Details

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

View Details

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

View Details

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

View Details

Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

View Details

Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

View Details

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

View Details

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

View Details

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

View Details

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

View Details

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

View Details

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

View Details

The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

View Details

The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

View Details

The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

View Details

An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

View Details

Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

View Details

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

View Details

He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

View Details

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

View Details

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

View Details

And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.|

View Details

The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

View Details

The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

View Details

Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

View Details

Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

View Details

When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

View Details

It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

View Details

A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

View Details

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

View Details

Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

View Details

Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

View Details

But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

View Details

For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

View Details

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

View Details

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

View Details

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

View Details

Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

View Details

Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

View Details

The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

View Details

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

View Details

The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

View Details

The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

View Details

A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

View Details

It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

View Details

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

View Details

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

View Details

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

View Details

When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

View Details

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

View Details

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

View Details

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

View Details

Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

View Details

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

View Details

An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

View Details

He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

View Details

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

View Details

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

View Details

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

View Details

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

View Details

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

View Details

In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

View Details

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

View Details

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

View Details

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

View Details

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

View Details

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

View Details

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

View Details

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

View Details

He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

View Details

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

View Details

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

View Details

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

View Details

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

View Details

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

View Details

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

View Details

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

View Details

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

View Details

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

View Details

For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

View Details

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

View Details

Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

View Details

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

View Details

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

View Details

For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

View Details

That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

View Details

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

View Details

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

View Details

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

View Details

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

View Details

For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

View Details

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

View Details

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

View Details

When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

View Details

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

View Details

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

View Details

She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

View Details

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

View Details

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

View Details

There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

View Details

For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

View Details

For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

View Details

Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

View Details

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

View Details

An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

View Details

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

View Details

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

View Details

He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

View Details

For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

View Details

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

View Details

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

View Details

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

View Details

Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

View Details

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

View Details

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

View Details

The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

View Details

For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

View Details

He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

View Details

These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

View Details

For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

View Details

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

View Details

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

View Details

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

View Details

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

View Details

For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

View Details

Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

View Details

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

View Details

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

View Details

A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

View Details

Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

View Details

Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

View Details

Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

View Details

A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

View Details

The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

View Details

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

View Details

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

View Details

The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

View Details

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

View Details

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

View Details

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

View Details

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

View Details

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

View Details

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

View Details

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

View Details

The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

View Details

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

View Details

Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

View Details

The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

View Details

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

View Details

Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

View Details

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

View Details

Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

View Details

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

View Details

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

View Details

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

View Details

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

View Details

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

View Details

The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

View Details

As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

View Details

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

View Details

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

View Details

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
