PROVERBS
- 30There is no wisdom nor understanding
- Nor counsel against the Lord.
- 31The horse is prepared against the day of battle;
- But victory is of the Lord.
- 22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,
- And loving favour rather than silver and gold.
- 2The rich and the poor meet together—
- The Lord is the maker of them all.
- 3A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself;
- But the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.
- 4The reward of humility is the fear of the Lord,
- Even riches, and honour, and life.
- 5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward;
- He that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.
- 6Train up a child in the way he should go,
- And even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
- 7The rich ruleth over the poor,
- And the borrower is servant to the lender.
- 8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity;
- And the rod of his wrath shall fail.
- 9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed;
- For he giveth of his bread to the poor.
- 10Cast out the scorner, and contention will go out;
- Yea, strife and shame will cease.
- 11He that loveth pureness of heart,
- That hath grace in his lips, the king shall be his friend.
- 12The eyes of the Lord preserve him that hath knowledge,
- But He overthroweth the words of the faithless man.
- 13The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion without;
- I shall be slain in the streets.'
- 14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit:
- He that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.
- 15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
- But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
- 16One may oppress the poor, yet will their gain increase;
- One may give to the rich, yet will want come.
- 17Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,
- And apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
- 18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee;
- Let them be established altogether upon thy lips.
- 19That thy trust may be in the Lord,
- I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.
