it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Pr 14:28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
Pr 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach
to any people.
Pr 14:35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath
is against him that causeth shame.
Pr 16:10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
Pr 16:12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for
the throne is established by righteousness.
Pr 16:13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love
him that speaketh right.
Pr 16:14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise
man will pacify it.
Pr 16:15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his
favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
Pr 17:7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
Pr 17:26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
Pr 19:6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
Pr 19:10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
Pr 19:12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
Pr 19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
Pr 20:2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
Pr 20:8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

Pr 22:11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
Pr 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Pr 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider
diligently what is before thee:
Pr 23:2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to
appetite.
Pr 23:3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful
meat.
Pr 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not
with them that are given to change:
Pr 24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth
the ruin of them both?
Pr 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to
have respect of persons in judgment.
Pr 24:24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him
shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
Pr 24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good
blessing shall come upon them.
Pr 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the
honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Pr 25:3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the
heart of kings is unsearchable.
Pr 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come
forth a vessel for the finer.
Pr 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne
shall be established in righteousness.
Pr 25:6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and
stand not in the place of great men:
Pr 25:7 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.
Pr 28:2 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.
Pr 28:15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked
ruler over the poor people.
Pr 28:16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great
oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
Pr 28:17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person
shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
Pr 28:21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
Pr 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Pr 29:4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
Pr 29:8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
Pr 29:12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
Pr 29:14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
Pr 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Pr 29:26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
Pr 30:10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
Pr 30:29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are
comely in going:
Pr 30:30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not
away for any;
Pr 30:31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom
there is no rising up.
Pr 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to
drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Pr 31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the
judgment of any of the afflicted.
Pr 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and
wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Pr 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his
misery no more.
Pr 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as
are appointed to destruction.
Pr 31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of
the poor and needy.

feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
Pr 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from
the snares of death.
Pr 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death.
Pr 14:13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of
that mirth is heaviness.
Pr 14:17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
Pr 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Pr 15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Pr 16:21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Pr 16:23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

Pr 17:11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
Pr 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Pr 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
Pr 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
Pr 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Pr 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Pr 27:7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
Pr 27:19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
Pr 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

a false witness deceit.

lying tongue is but for a moment.

Pr 26:19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am
not I in sport?
Pr 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where
there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
Pr 26:21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a
contentious man to kindle strife.
Pr 26:22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down
into the innermost parts of the belly.
Pr 26:23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd
covered with silver dross.
Pr 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up
deceit within him;

seven abominations in his heart.

be shewed before the whole congregation.
Pr 26:27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that
rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

firstfruits of all thine increase:

Pr 6:1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast
stricken thy hand with a stranger,
Pr 6:2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken

Pr 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth
discord among brethren.
Pr 15:25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he
will establish the border of the widow.
Pr 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to
the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Pr 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit
before a fall.
Pr 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly,
than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Pr 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and
before honour is humility.
Pr 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a
faithful man who can find?
Pr 21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the
wicked, is sin.
Pr 22:4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and
honour, and life.
Pr 22:5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that
doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Pr 24:18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn
away his wrath from him.
Pr 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search
their own glory is not glory.
Pr 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not

stranger, and not thine own lips.
Pr 27:21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold;
so is a man to his praise.
Pr 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he
that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Pr 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso

Pr 15:31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
Pr 17:10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
Pr 19:25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

wind without rain.
Pr 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

answer him that reproacheth me.

Pr 1:11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let
us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Pr 1:12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as
those that go down into the pit:
Pr 1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our
houses with spoil:
Pr 1:14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
Pr 1:15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy
foot from their path:
Pr 1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Pr 1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Pr 1:18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily
for their own lives.
Pr 1:19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which
taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

the lowly.

Pr 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and
their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Pr 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine
of violence.
Pr 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that
shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Pr 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at
what they stumble.
Pr 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an
abomination unto him:

blood,

swift in running to mischief,

but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
Pr 11:6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but
transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
Pr 11:7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and
the hope of unjust men perisheth.

cometh in his stead.

is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

evil pursueth it to his own death.

LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

Pr 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven
pillars:
Pr 9:2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she
hath also furnished her table.
Pr 9:3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the
highest places of the city,
Pr 9:4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that
wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Pr 9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have
mingled.
(As opposed to:).
Pr 9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth
nothing.
Pr 9:14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the
high places of the city,
Pr 9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Pr 9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him
that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Pr 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is
pleasant.
Pr 9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her
guests are in the depths of hell.
Pr 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Pr 21:17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
Pr 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
Pr 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty:
and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
Pr 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who
hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of
eyes?
Pr 23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek
mixed wine.
Pr 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it
giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
Pr 23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like
an adder.
Pr 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to
drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Pr 31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the
judgment of any of the afflicted.
Pr 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and
wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Pr 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his
misery no more.

Pr 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of
understanding;
Pr 1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and
judgment, and equity;
Pr 1:4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge
and discretion.
Pr 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man
of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Pr 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words
of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Pr 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Pr 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the
streets:
Pr 1:21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the
openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
Pr 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the
scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Pr 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit
unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Pr 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched
out my hand, and no man regarded;
Pr 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none
of my reproof:
Pr 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your
fear cometh;
Pr 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction
cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Pr 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they
shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Pr 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear
of the LORD:
Pr 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my
reproof.
Pr 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
and be filled with their own devices.
Pr 1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and
the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Pr 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall
be quiet from fear of evil.
Pr 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my
commandments with thee;
Pr 2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine
heart to understanding;
Pr 2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy
voice for understanding;
Pr 2:4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for
hid treasures;
Pr 2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find
the knowledge of God.
Pr 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh
knowledge and understanding.
Pr 2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a
buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Pr 2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of
his saints.
Pr 2:9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and
equity; yea, every good path.
Pr 2:10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is
pleasant unto thy soul;
Pr 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep
thee:
Pr 2:12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man
that speaketh froward things;
Pr 2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of
darkness;
Pr 2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of
the wicked;
Pr 2:15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
Pr 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the
stranger which flattereth with her words;
Pr 2:17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the
covenant of her God.
Pr 2:18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the
dead.
Pr 2:19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold
of the paths of life.
Pr 2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the
paths of the righteous.
Pr 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect
shall remain in it.
Pr 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the
transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Pr 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my
commandments:
Pr 3:2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they
add to thee.
Pr 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy
neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Pr 3:4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the
sight of God and man.
Pr 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding.
Pr 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy
paths.
Pr 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart
from evil.
Pr 3:8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Pr 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that
getteth understanding.
Pr 3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise
of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Pr 3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou
canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Pr 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand
riches and honour.
Pr 3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are
peace.
Pr 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and
happy is every one that retaineth her.
Pr 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by
understanding hath he established the heavens.
Pr 3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds
drop down the dew.
Pr 3:21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound
wisdom and discretion:
Pr 3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy
neck.
Pr 3:23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall
not stumble.
Pr 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou
shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Pr 3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of
the wicked, when it cometh.
Pr 3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy
foot from being taken.
Pr 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither
decline from the words of my mouth.
Pr 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and
she shall keep thee.
Pr 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and
with all thy getting get understanding.
Pr 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee
to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
Pr 4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown
of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Pr 4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of
thy life shall be many.
Pr 4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee
in right paths.
Pr 4:12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and
when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Pr 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her;
for she is thy life.
Pr 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the
way of evil men.
Pr 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Pr 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and
their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Pr 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my
sayings.
Pr 4:21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the
midst of thine heart.
Pr 4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to
all their flesh.
Pr 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with
thee.
Pr 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of
thine eye.
Pr 7:3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of
thine heart.
Pr 7:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding
thy kinswoman:
Pr 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her
voice?
Pr 8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the
places of the paths.
Pr 8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the
coming in at the doors.
Pr 8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of
man.
Pr 8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an
understanding heart.
Pr 8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening
of my lips shall be right things.
Pr 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an
abomination to my lips.
Pr 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is
nothing froward or perverse in them.
Pr 8:9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to
them that find knowledge.
Pr 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge
rather than choice gold.
Pr 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that
may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Pr 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of
witty inventions.
Pr 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.
Pr 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I
have strength.
Pr 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Pr 8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the
earth.
Pr 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early
shall find me.
Pr 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness.
Pr 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my
revenue than choice silver.
Pr 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the
paths of judgment:
Pr 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
and I will fill their treasures.
Pr 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before
his works of old.
Pr 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever
the earth was.
Pr 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there
were no fountains abounding with water.
Pr 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I
brought forth:
Pr 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pr 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a
compass upon the face of the depth:
Pr 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened
the fountains of the deep:
Pr 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should
not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the
earth:
Pr 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was
daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Pr 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my
delights were with the sons of men.
Pr 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed
are they that keep my ways.
Pr 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pr 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my
gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pr 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour
of the LORD.
Pr 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all
they that hate me love death.
Pr 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven
pillars:
Pr 9:2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she
hath also furnished her table.
Pr 9:3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the
highest places of the city,
Pr 9:4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that
wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Pr 9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have
mingled.
Pr 9:6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of
understanding.
Pr 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the
knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Pr 9:11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of
thy life shall be increased.
Pr 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Pr 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of
the wicked shall be shortened.
Pr 10:28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the
expectation of the wicked shall perish.
Pr 10:29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but
destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
Pr 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked
shall not inhabit the earth.
Pr 12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Pr 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of
transgressors is hard.
Pr 13:16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool
layeth open his folly.
Pr 13:17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful
ambassador is health.
Pr 14:6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
Pr 14:11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
Pr 15:14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Pr 15:21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Pr 15:32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but
he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Pr 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and
before honour is humility.
Pr 16:23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
Pr 17:16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
Pr 18:1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh
and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
Pr 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his
heart may discover itself.
Pr 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Pr 18:15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Pr 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
Pr 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
Pr 22:17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and
apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
Pr 22:18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee;
they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
Pr 22:19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to
thee this day, even to thee.
Pr 22:20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels
and knowledge,
Pr 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?
Pr 23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
Pr 23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice,
even mine.
Pr 23:16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right
things.
Pr 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
Pr 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Pr 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding
it is established:
Pr 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all
precious and pleasant riches.
Pr 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth
strength.
Pr 24:11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto
death, and those that are ready to be slain;
Pr 24:12 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?
Pr 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the
honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
Pr 24:14 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.
Pr 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the
righteous; spoil not his resting place:
Pr 25:1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
Pr 29:3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
Pr 30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.
There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things
say not, It is enough:
Pr 30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not
filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Pr 30:18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me,
yea, four which I know not:
Pr 30:19 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.

Pr 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my
understanding:
Pr 5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may
keep knowledge.
Pr 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and
her mouth is smoother than oil:
Pr 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged
sword.
Pr 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Pr 5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are
moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Pr 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from
the words of my mouth.
Pr 5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of
her house:
Pr 5:9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto
the cruel:
Pr 5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours
be in the house of a stranger;
Pr 5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body
are consumed,
Pr 5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart
despised reproof;
Pr 5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined
mine ear to them that instructed me!
Pr 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation
and assembly.
Pr 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters
out of thine own well.
Pr 5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of
waters in the streets.
Pr 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Pr 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of
thy youth.
Pr 5:19 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.
Pr 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange
woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Pr 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and
he pondereth all his goings.
Pr 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he
shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
Pr 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of
his folly he shall go astray.
Pr 6:24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of
the tongue of a strange woman.
Pr 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her
take thee with her eyelids.
Pr 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a
piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious
life.
Pr 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be
burned?
Pr 6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
Pr 6:29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever
toucheth her shall not be innocent.
Pr 6:30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his
soul when he is hungry;
Pr 6:31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall
give all the substance of his house.
Pr 6:32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Pr 6:33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall
not be wiped away.
Pr 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not
spare in the day of vengeance.
Pr 6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest
content, though thou givest many gifts.
Pr 7:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call
understanding thy kinswoman:
Pr 7:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the
stranger which flattereth with her words.
Pr 7:6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
Pr 7:7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the
youths, a young man void of understanding,
Pr 7:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the
way to her house,
Pr 7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark
night:
Pr 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an
harlot, and subtil of heart.
Pr 7:11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her
house:
Pr 7:12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait
at every corner.)
Pr 7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent
face said unto him,
Pr 7:14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my
vows.
Pr 7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek
thy face, and I have found thee.
Pr 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with
carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
Pr 7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Pr 7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let
us solace ourselves with loves.
Pr 7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
Pr 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home
at the day appointed.
Pr 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with
the flattering of her lips she forced him.
Pr 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the
slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Pr 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to
the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Pr 7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend
to the words of my mouth.
Pr 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in
her paths.
Pr 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men
have been slain by her.
Pr 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers
of death.
Pr 9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth
nothing.
Pr 9:14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the
high places of the city,
Pr 9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Pr 9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him
that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Pr 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is
pleasant.
Pr 9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her
guests are in the depths of hell.
(Note: in the beginning of Proverbs 9, this is contrasted to
Wisdom)
Pr 22:14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
Pr 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe
my ways.
Pr 23:27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a
narrow pit.
Pr 23:28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the
transgressors among men.
Pr 23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart
shall utter perverse things.
Pr 23:34 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.
Pr 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.
Pr 27:8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
Pr 29:3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
Pr 31:3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

Pr 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be
wise:
Pr 6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Pr 6:8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in
the harvest.
Pr 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise
out of thy sleep?
Pr 6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of
the hands to sleep:
Pr 6:11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy
want as an armed man.
Pr 10:4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the
hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Pr 10:5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that
sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
Pr 10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
Pr 12:11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
Pr 12:24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Pr 12:27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
Pr 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Pr 14:4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
Pr 14:23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
Pr 15:19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
Pr 16:26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
Pr 18:9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
Pr 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Pr 19:24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
Pr 20:4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
Pr 20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine
eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
Pr 20:14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he
is gone his way, then he boasteth.
Pr 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
Pr 21:25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
Pr 22:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
Pr 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Pr 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for
riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle
toward heaven.
Pr 23:6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats:
Pr 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink,
saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Pr 23:8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and
lose thy sweet words.
Pr 24:27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
Pr 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard
of the man void of understanding;
Pr 24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles
had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was
broken down.
Pr 24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and
received instruction.
Pr 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of
the hands to sleep:
Pr 24:34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy
want as an armed man.
Pr 26:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a
lion is in the streets.
Pr 26:14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful
upon his bed.
Pr 26:15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth
him to bring it again to his mouth.
Pr 26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men
that can render a reason.
Pr 27:23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and
look well to thy herds.
Pr 27:24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to
every generation?
Pr 27:25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself,
and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
Pr 27:26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the
price of the field.
Pr 27:27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for
the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy
maidens.
Pr 28:19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
Pr 30:24 There be four things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceeding wise:
Pr 30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their
meat in the summer;
Pr 30:26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their
houses in the rocks;
Pr 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them
by bands;
Pr 30:28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings'
palaces.
