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

Proverbs 9
[1] Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: [2]
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also
furnished her table.
[3] She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
[4] Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
[5] Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. [6]
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. [7] He
that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a
wicked man getteth himself a blot. [8] Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate
thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
[9] Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just
man, and he will increase in learning. [10] The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
[11] For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life
shall be increased.
[12] If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest,
thou alone shalt bear it.
[13] A foolish woman is clamourous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
[14] For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places
of the city,
[15] To call passengers who go right on their ways: [16] Whoso is simple,
let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she
saith to him,
[17] Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. [18]
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the
depths of hell.

Proverbs 10
[1] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish
son is the heaviness of his mother. [2] Treasures of wickedness profit
nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
[3] The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he
casteth away the substance of the wicked. [4] He becometh poor that dealeth
with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
[5] He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in
harvest is a son that causeth shame. [6] Blessings are upon the head of the
just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
[7] The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall
rot. [8] The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool
shall fall.
[9] He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his
ways shall be known.
[10] He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
[11] The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth
the mouth of the wicked.
[12] Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. [13] In the
lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the
back of him that is void of understanding. [14] Wise men lay up knowledge:
but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
[15] The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor
is their poverty.
[16] The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
[17] He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that
refuseth reproof erreth.
[18] He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander,
is a fool.
[19] In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that
refraineth his lips is wise.
[20] The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is
little worth.
[21] The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
[22] The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with
it.
[23] It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
[24] The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the
righteous shall be granted.
[25] As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous
is an everlasting foundation.
[26] As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard
to them that send him.
[27] The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked
shall be shortened.
[28] The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of
the wicked shall perish.
[29] The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall
be to the workers of iniquity.
[30] The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit
the earth.
[31] The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue
shall be cut out.
[32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of
the wicked speaketh frowardness.
