- 11:5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
- 11:6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

Proverbs 9

- 9:1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
- 9:2 She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
- 9:3 She has sent forth her maidens: she cries on the highest places of the city,
- 9:4 Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she said to him,
- 9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
- 9:6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
- 9:7 He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
- 9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
- 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
- 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
- 9:11 For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
- 9:12 If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
- 9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
- 9:14 For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
- 9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
- 9:16 Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she said to him,
- 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
- 9:18 But he knows not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
Proverbs 8

- 8:1 Does not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
- 8:2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
- 8:3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
- 8:4 To you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
- 8:5 O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be you of an understanding heart.
- 8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
- 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
- 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing fraudulent or perverse in them.
- 8:9 They are all plain to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
- 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
- 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
- 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
- 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the fraudulent mouth, do I hate.
- 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
- 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
- 8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
- 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
- 8:18 Riches and honor are with me; yes, durable riches and righteousness.
- 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
- 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of judgment:
- 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
- 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
- 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
- 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
- 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
- 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
- 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass on the face of the depth:
- 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
- 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:
- 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
- 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
- 8:32 Now therefore listen to me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
- 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
- 8:34 Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
- 8:35 For whoever finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.
- 8:36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Proverbs 7

- 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.
- 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.
- 7:3 Bind them on your fingers, write them on the table of your heart.
- 7:4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman:
- 7:5 That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words.
- 7:6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
- 7:7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
- 7:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
- 7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
- 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart.
- 7:11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
- 7:12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner.)
- 7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him,
- 7:14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.
- 7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
- 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
- 7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- 7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
- 7:19 For the manager is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
- 7:20 He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
- 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
- 7:22 He goes after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
- 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life.
- 7:24 Listen to me now therefore, O you children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
- 7:25 Let not your heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
- 7:26 For she has cast down many wounded: yes, many strong men have been slain by her.
- 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs 6
2017年7月24日 by Leave a Comment
- 6:1 My son, if you be surety for your friend, if you have stricken your hand with a stranger,
- 6:2 You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth.
- 6:3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, when you are come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself, and make sure your friend.
- 6:4 Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
- 6:5 Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
- 6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
- 6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
- 6:8 Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
- 6:9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
- 6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- 6:11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.
- 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a fraudulent mouth.
- 6:13 He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
- 6:14 Frowardness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord.
- 6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
- 6:16 These six things does the LORD hate: yes, seven are an abomination to him:
- 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
- 6:18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
- 6:19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brothers.
- 6:20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
- 6:21 Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck.
- 6:22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you.
- 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
- 6:24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
- 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids.
- 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.
- 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
- 6:28 Can one go on hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
- 6:29 So he that goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
- 6:30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
- 6:31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
- 6:32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.
- 6:33 A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
- 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
- 6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.

- 5:1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
- 5:2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
- 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
- 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
- 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
- 5:6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
- 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
- 5:8 Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:
- 5:9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:
- 5:10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;
- 5:11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
- 5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
- 5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
- 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the middle of the congregation and assembly.
- 5:15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
- 5:16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
- 5:17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers’ with you.
- 5:18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
- 5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.
- 5:20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
- 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his goings.
- 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
- 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

- 4:1 Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
- 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake you not my law.
- 4:3 For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
- 4:4 He taught me also, and said to me, Let your heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
- 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
- 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve you: love her, and she shall keep you.
- 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.
- 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote you: she shall bring you to honor, when you do embrace her.
- 4:9 She shall give to your head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to you.
- 4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life shall be many.
- 4:11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.
- 4:12 When you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you run, you shall not stumble.
- 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life.
- 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
- 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
- 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
- 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
- 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.
- 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
- 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
- 4:21 Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the middle of your heart.
- 4:22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
- 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
- 4:24 Put away from you a fraudulent mouth, and perverse lips put far from you.
- 4:25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.
- 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
- 4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.

- 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:
- 3:2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
- 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them on the table of your heart:
- 3:4 So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
- 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding.
- 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
- 3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
- 3:8 It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones.
- 3:9 Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your increase:
- 3:10 So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
- 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
- 3:12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.
- 3:13 Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
- 3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
- 3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared to her.
- 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
- 3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
- 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and happy is every one that retains her.
- 3:19 The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
- 3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
- 3:21 My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
- 3:22 So shall they be life to your soul, and grace to your neck.
- 3:23 Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.
- 3:24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
- 3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
- 3:26 For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.
- 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
- 3:28 Say not to your neighbor, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when you have it by you.
- 3:29 Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
- 3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.
- 3:31 Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
- 3:32 For the fraudulent is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
- 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesses the habitation of the just.
- 3:34 Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace to the lowly.
- 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

- 2:1 My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you;
- 2:2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
- 2:3 Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;
- 2:4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
- 2:5 Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
- 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
- 2:7 He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
- 2:8 He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints.
- 2:9 Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yes, every good path.
- 2:10 When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul;
- 2:11 Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you:
- 2:12 To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks fraudulent things;
- 2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
- 2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
- 2:15 Whose ways are crooked, and they fraudulent in their paths:
- 2:16 To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flatters with her words;
- 2:17 Which forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God.
- 2:18 For her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead.
- 2:19 None that go to her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
- 2:20 That you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
- 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
- 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
