20 Proverbs

20-1:1.     The proverbs of Solomon the son of David,

            king of Israel;

20-1:2.     To know wisdom and instruction;

            to perceive the words of understanding;

20-1:3.     To receive the instruction of wisdom,

            justice,

            and judgment,

            and equity;

20-1:4.     To give subtilty to the simple,

            to the young man knowledge and discretion.

 

20-1:5.     A wise man will hear,

            and will increase learning;

            and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

20-1:6.     To understand a proverb,

            and the interpretation;

            the words of the wise,

            and their dark sayings.

 

20-1:7.     The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:

            but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 

20-1:8.     My son,

            hear the instruction of thy father,

            and forsake not the law of thy mother:

20-1:9.     For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,

            and chains about thy neck.

 

20-1:10.    My son,

            if sinners entice thee,

            consent thou not.

 

20-1:11.    If they say,

            Come with us,

            let us lay wait for blood,

            let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

20-1:12.    Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;

            and whole,

            as those that go down into the pit:

20-1:13.    We shall find all precious substance,

            we shall fill our houses with spoil:

20-1:14.    Cast in thy lot among us;

            let us all have one purse:

20-1:15.    My son,

            walk not thou in the way with them;

            refrain thy foot from their path:

20-1:16.    For their feet run to evil,

            and make haste to shed blood.

 

20-1:17.    Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

 

20-1:18.    And they lay wait for their own blood;

            they lurk privily for their own lives.

 

20-1:19.    So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;

            which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

 

20-1:20.    Wisdom crieth without;

            she uttereth her voice in the streets:

20-1:21.    She crieth in the chief place of concourse,

            in the openings of the gates:

            in the city she uttereth her words,

            saying,

20-1:22.    How long,

            ye simple ones,

            will ye love simplicity?

 

            and the scorners delight in their scorning,

            and fools hate knowledge?

 

20-1:23.    Turn you at my reproof:

            behold,

            I will pour out my spirit unto you,

            I will make known my words unto you.

 

20-1:24.    Because I have called,

            and ye refused;

            I have stretched out my hand,

            and no man regarded;

20-1:25.    But ye have set at nought all my counsel,

            and would none of my reproof:

20-1:26.    I also will laugh at your calamity;

            I will mock when your fear cometh;

20-1:27.    When your fear cometh as desolation,

            and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;

            when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

 

20-1:28.    Then shall they call upon me,

            but I will not answer;

            they shall seek me early,

            but they shall not find me:

20-1:29.    For that they hated knowledge,

            and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

20-1:30.    They would none of my counsel:

            they despised all my reproof.

 

20-1:31.    Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,

            and be filled with their own devices.

 

20-1:32.    For the turning away of the simple shall slay them,

            and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

 

20-1:33.    But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely,

            and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

20 Proverbs

20-2:1.     My son,

            if thou wilt receive my words,

            and hide my commandments with thee;

20-2:2.     So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,

            and apply thine heart to understanding;

20-2:3.     Yea,

            if thou criest after knowledge,

            and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

20-2:4.     If thou seekest her as silver,

            and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

20-2:5.     Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,

            and find the knowledge of God.

 

20-2:6.     For the LORD giveth wisdom:

            out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

 

20-2:7.     He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:

            he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

 

20-2:8.     He keepeth the paths of judgment,

            and preserveth the way of his saints.

 

20-2:9.     Then shalt thou understand righteousness,

            and judgment,

            and equity;

            yea,

            every good path.

 

20-2:10.    When wisdom entereth into thine heart,

            and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

20-2:11.    Discretion shall preserve thee,

            understanding shall keep thee:

20-2:12.    To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,

            from the man that speaketh froward things;

20-2:13.    Who leave the paths of uprightness,

            to walk in the ways of darkness;

20-2:14.    Who rejoice to do evil,

            and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

20-2:15.    Whose ways are crooked,

            and they froward in their paths:

20-2:16.    To deliver thee from the strange woman,

            even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

20-2:17.    Which forsaketh the guide of her youth,

            and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

 

20-2:18.    For her house inclineth unto death,

            and her paths unto the dead.

 

20-2:19.    None that go unto her return again,

            neither take they hold of the paths of life.

 

20-2:20.    That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,

            and keep the paths of the righteous.

 

20-2:21.    For the upright shall dwell in the land,

            and the perfect shall remain in it.

 

20-2:22.    But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth,

            and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

            attend unto my wisdom,

            and bow thine ear to my understanding:

20-5:2.     That thou mayest regard discretion,

20-5:3.     For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb,

20-5:23.    He shall die without instruction;

            and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

            thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

 

20-6:3.     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.

 

20-6:4.     Give not sleep to thine eyes,

            nor slumber to thine eyelids.

            and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

 

20-6:6.     Go to the ant,

            thou sluggard;

            consider her ways,

            and be wise:

20-6:7.     Which having no guide,

            overseer,

            or ruler,

20-6:8.     Provideth her meat in the summer,

            and gathereth her food in the harvest.

 

20-6:9.     How long wilt thou sleep,

            O sluggard?

 

            when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

 

20-6:10.    Yet a little sleep,

            a little slumber,

            a little folding of the hands to sleep:

20-6:11.    So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,

            and thy want as an armed man.

 

20-6:12.    A naughty person,

            a wicked man,

            walketh with a froward mouth.

 

20-6:13.    He winketh with his eyes,

            he teacheth with his fingers;

            he deviseth mischief continually;

            he soweth discord.

 

20-6:15.    Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;

            suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

 

20-6:16.    These six things doth the LORD hate:

            yea,

            seven are an abomination unto him:

20-6:17.    A proud look,

            a lying tongue,

            and hands that shed innocent blood,

20-6:18.    An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,

            feet that be swift in running to mischief,

20-6:19.    A false witness that speaketh lies,

            and he that soweth discord among brethren.

 

20-6:20.    My son,

            keep thy father’s commandment,

            and forsake not the law of thy mother:

20-6:21.    Bind them continually upon thine heart,

            and tie them about thy neck.

 

20-6:22.    When thou goest,

            it shall lead thee;

            when thou sleepest,

            it shall keep thee;

            and when thou awakest,

            it shall talk with thee.

 

20-6:23.    For the commandment is a lamp;

            and the law is light;

            and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

20-6:24.    To keep thee from the evil woman,

            from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

 

20-6:25.    Lust not after her beauty in thine heart;

            neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

            and his clothes not be burned?

 

20-6:28.    Can one go upon hot coals,

            and his feet not be burned?

 

20-6:29.    So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife;

            whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

 

20-6:30.    Men do not despise a thief,

            if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

20-6:31.    But if he be found,

            he shall restore sevenfold;

            he shall give all the substance of his house.

 

20-6:32.    But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:

            he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

 

20-6:33.    A wound and dishonour shall he get;
