20-PROVERBS
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;
20-1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
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:
20-3:28 Say
not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
20-4:2 For
I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
20-4:3 For
I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
20-4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
20-5:12 And
say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart
despised reproof;
20-5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the
congregation and assembly.
20-7:6 For
at the window of my house I looked through my
casement,
20-7:7 And
beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among
the youths, a young man void of understanding,
20-7:14 I have peace
offerings with me; this day have I payed my
vows.
20-7:15 Therefore
came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek
thy face, and I have found thee.
20-7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with
carved works, with fine linen of
20-7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and
cinnamon.
20-8:4 Unto
you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
20-8:6 Hear;
for I will speak of excellent things; and the
opening of my lips shall be right
things.
20-8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge
of witty inventions.
20-8:13 The
fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
20-8:14 Counsel
is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding;
I have strength.
20-8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early
shall find me.
20-8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of
the paths of judgment:
20-8:21 That
I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures.
20-8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or
ever the earth was.
20-8:24 When
there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
20-8:25 Before
the mountains were settled, before the hills was I
brought forth:
20-8:27 When
he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
20-8:30 Then
I was by him, as one brought up with him: and
I was daily his
delight, rejoicing always before him;
20-9:5 Come,
eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which
I have mingled.
20-20:9 Who
can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
20-20:22 Say
not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save
thee.
20-22:13 The
slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
20-22:19 That
thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known
to thee this day, even to thee.
20-22:20 Have
not I written to thee excellent things in
counsels and knowledge,
20-22:21 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?
20-23:35 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.
20-24:29 Say
not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
20-24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the
vineyard of the man void of understanding;
20-24:32 Then
I saw, and
considered it well: I looked upon it,
and received instruction.
20-26:19 So
is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20-27:11 My
son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may
answer him that reproacheth me.
20-30:2 Surely
I am more
brutish than any man, and have not
the understanding of a man.
20-30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of
the holy.
20-30:7 Two
things have I
required of thee; deny me them not
before I die:
20-30:9 Lest
I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the
LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the
name of my God in vain.
20-30:18 There
be three things which are too
wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
20-30:20 Such
is the way of an adulterous woman;
she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I
have done no wickedness.
21-ECCLESIASTES
21-1:12 I the Preacher was king over
21-1:13 And
I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom
concerning all things that are done
under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be
exercised therewith.
21-1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun;
and, behold, all is vanity and
vexation of spirit.
21-1:16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom
than all they that have been before
me in
21-1:17 And
I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know
madness and folly: I perceived that this also is
vexation of spirit.
21-2:1 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy
pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
21-2:2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
21-2:3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet
acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was
that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all
the days of their life.
21-2:4 I made me great works; I
builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
21-2:5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
21-2:6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood
that bringeth forth trees:
21-2:7 I got me servants
and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I
had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in
21-2:8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar
treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me
men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all
sorts.
21-2:9 So
I was great, and increased more than all that
were before me in
21-2:10 And
whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from
them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for
my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
21-2:11 Then
I looked on all the works that my hands had
wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured
to do: and, behold, all was vanity
and vexation of spirit, and there was no
profit under the sun.
21-2:12 And
I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness,
and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
21-2:13 Then
I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as
light excelleth darkness.
21-2:14 The
wise man’s eyes are in his head; but
the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself
perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
21-2:15 Then
said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool,
so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then
more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this
also is vanity.
21-2:17 Therefore
I hated life; because the work that is wrought
under the sun is grievous unto me:
for all is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
21-2:18 Yea,
I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
21-2:19 And
who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man
or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I
have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is
also vanity.
21-2:20 Therefore
I went about to cause my heart to despair of all
the labour which I took under the sun.
21-2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in
his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
21-2:25 For
who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto,
more than I?
21-3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the
sons of men to be exercised in it.
21-3:12 I know that there
is no good in them, but for a man to
rejoice, and to do good in his life.
21-3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for
ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
21-3:16 And
moreover I saw under the sun the place of
judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of
righteousness, that iniquity was there.
21-3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous
and the wicked: for there is a time
there for every purpose and for every work.
21-3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons
of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they
themselves are beasts.
21-3:22 Wherefore
I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own
works; for that is his portion: for
who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
21-4:1 So
I returned, and considered all the oppressions
that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side
of their oppressors there was power;
but they had no comforter.
21-4:2 Wherefore
I praised the dead which are already dead more
than the living which are yet alive.
21-4:4 Again,
I considered all travail, and every right work,
that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
21-4:7 Then
I returned, and I
saw vanity under the sun.
21-4:8 There
is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath
neither child nor brother: yet is there no
end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
21-4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun,
with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
21-5:13 There
is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
21-5:18 Behold
that which I
have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to
enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of
his life, which God giveth him: for it is
his portion.
21-6:1 There
is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and
it is common among men:
21-6:3 If
a man beget an hundred children, and
live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not
filled with good, and also that he
have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better
than he.
21-7:15 All
things have I
seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
21-7:23 All
this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise;
but it was far from me.
21-7:25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to
seek out wisdom, and the reason of
things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
21-7:26 And
I find more bitter than death the woman, whose
heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner
shall be taken by her.
21-7:27 Behold,
this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the
account:
21-7:28 Which
yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man
among a thousand have I found; but a woman among
all those have I not found.
21-7:29 Lo,
this only have I found, that God hath made man
upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
21-8:2 I counsel thee to
keep the king’s commandment, and that in
regard of the oath of God.
21-8:9 All
this have I seen, and applied my heart unto
every work that is done under the sun: there
is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
21-8:10 And
so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and
gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they
had so done: this is also vanity.
21-8:12 Though
a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days
be prolonged, yet surely I know that it
shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
21-8:14 There
is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to
the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
21-8:15 Then
I commended mirth, because a man hath no better
thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall
abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under
the sun.
21-8:16 When
I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see
the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
21-8:17 Then
I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot
find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to
seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
21-9:1 For
all this I considered in my heart even to
declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth
either love or hatred by all that is before them.
21-9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to
the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of
understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to
them all.
21-9:13 This
wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
21-9:16 Then
said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not
heard.
21-10:5 There
is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
21-10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking
as servants upon the earth.
21-12:1 Remember
now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the
years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure
in them;
22-SONG
OF
SOLOMON
22-1:5 I am black,
but comely, O ye daughters of
22-1:6 Look
not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children
were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
22-1:7 Tell
me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at
22-1:9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of
horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
22-2:1 I am the
rose of
22-2:3 As
the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat
down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
22-2:5 Stay
me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
22-2:7 I charge you, O ye daughters of
22-2:16 My
beloved is mine, and I am his: he
feedeth among the lilies.
22-3:1 By
night on my bed I sought him whom my soul
loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
22-3:2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets,
and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my
soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
22-3:3 The
watchmen that go about the city found me: to
whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
22-3:4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I
found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and
would not let him go, until I had brought him into
my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
22-3:5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the
roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
22-4:6 Until
the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will
get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
22-5:1 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I
have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have
eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk
my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
22-5:2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for
my head is filled with dew, and my
locks with the drops of the night.
22-5:3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have
washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
22-5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the
handles of the lock.
22-5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn
himself, and was gone: my soul failed
when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I
called him, but he gave me no answer.
22-5:8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my
beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
22-6:3 I am my
beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he
feedeth among the lilies.
22-6:11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits
of the valley, and to see whether the
vine flourished, and the pomegranates
budded.
22-6:12 Or
ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.
22-7:8 I said, I will go up to
the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs
thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell
of thy nose like apples;
22-7:10 I am my
beloved’s, and his desire is toward
me.
22-7:12 Let
us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there
will I give thee my loves.
22-7:13 The
mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are
all manner of pleasant fruits, new
and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
22-8:1 O
that thou wert as my brother, that sucked
the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I
would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
22-8:2 I would lead thee, and
bring thee into my mother’s house, who
would instruct me: I would cause thee to
drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
22-8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir
not up, nor awake my love, until he
please.
22-8:5 Who
is this that cometh up from the
wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised
thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she
brought thee forth that bare thee.
22-8:10 I am a wall,
and my breasts like towers: then was I in his
eyes as one that found favour.
