20 Proverbs
20-1:1 The proverbs4912 of Solomon8010 the son1121 of David,1732 king4428 of Israel;3478
20-1:2 To know3045 wisdom2451 and instruction;4148 to perceive995 the words561 of understanding;998
20-1:3 To receive3947 the instruction4148 of wisdom,7919 justice,6664 and judgment,4941 and equity;4339
20-1:4 To give5414 subtlety6195 to the simple,6612 to the young man5288 knowledge1847 and discretion.4209
20-1:5 A wise2450 man will hear,8085 and will increase3254 learning;3948 and a man of understanding995 shall attain7069 unto wise counsels:8458
20-1:6 To understand995 a proverb,4912 and the interpretation;4426 the words1697 of the wise,2450 and their dark sayings.2420
20-1:7 The fear3374 of the LORD3068 is the beginning7225 of knowledge:1847 but fools191 despise936 wisdom2451 and instruction.4148
20-1:8 My son,1121 hear8085 the instruction4148 of thy father,1 and forsake5203 not408 the law8451 of thy mother:517
20-1:9 For3588 they1992 shall be an ornament3880 of grace2580 unto thy head,7218 and chains6060 about thy neck.1621
20-1:10 My son,1121 if518 sinners2400 entice6601 thee, consent14 thou not.408
20-1:11 If518 they say,559 Come1980 with854 us, let us lay wait693 for blood,1818 let us lurk privily6845 for the innocent5355 without cause:2600
20-1:12 Let us swallow them up1104 alive2416 as the grave;7585 and whole,8549 as those that go down3381 into the pit:953
20-1:13 We shall find4672 all3605 precious3368 substance,1952 we shall fill4390 our houses1004 with spoil:7998
20-1:14 Cast in5307 thy lot1486 among8432 us; let us all3605 have1961 one259 purse:3599
20-1:15 My son,1121 walk1980 not408 thou in the way1870 with854 them; refrain4513 thy foot7272 from their path:4480, 5410
20-1:16 For3588 their feet7272 run7323 to evil,7451 and make haste4116 to shed8210 blood.1818
20-1:17 Surely3588 in vain2600 the net7568 is spread2219 in the sight5869 of any3605 bird.1167, 3671
20-1:18 And they1992 lay wait693 for their own blood;1818 they lurk privily6845 for their own lives.5315
20-1:19 So3651 are the ways734 of every one3605 that is greedy1214 of gain;1215 which taketh away3947 (853) the life5315 of the owners1167 thereof.
20-1:20 Wisdom2454 crieth7442 without;2351 she uttereth5414 her voice6963 in the streets:7339
20-1:21 She crieth7121 in the chief7218 place of concourse,1993 in the openings6607 of the gates:8179 in the city5892 she uttereth559 her words,561 saying,
20-1:22 How long,5704, 4970 ye simple ones,6612 will ye love157 simplicity?6612 and the scorners3887 delight2530 in their scorning,3944 and fools3684 hate8130 knowledge?1847
20-1:23 Turn7725 you at my reproof:8433 behold,2009 I will pour out5042 my spirit7307 unto you, I will make known3045 my words1697 unto you.
20-1:24 Because3282 I have called,7121 and ye refused;3985 I have stretched out5186 my hand,3027 and no man369 regarded;7181
20-1:25 But ye have set at naught6544 all3605 my counsel,6098 and would14 none3808 of my reproof:8433
20-1:26 I589 also1571 will laugh7832 at your calamity;343 I will mock3932 when your fear6343 cometh;935
20-1:27 When your fear6343 cometh935 as desolation,7722 and your destruction343 cometh857 as a whirlwind;5492 when distress6869 and anguish6695 cometh935 upon5921 you.
20-1:28 Then227 shall they call upon7121 me, but I will not3808 answer;6030 they shall seek me early,7836 but they shall not3808 find4672 me:
20-1:29 For that8478, 3588 they hated8130 knowledge,1847 and did not3808 choose977 the fear3374 of the LORD:3068
20-1:30 They would14 none3808 of my counsel:6098 they despised5006 all3605 my reproof.8433
20-1:31 Therefore shall they eat398 of the fruit4480, 6529 of their own way,1870 and be filled7646 with their own devices.4480, 4156
20-1:32 For3588 the turning away4878 of the simple6612 shall slay2026 them, and the prosperity7962 of fools3684 shall destroy6 them.
20-1:33 But whoso hearkeneth8085 unto me shall dwell7931 safely,983 and shall be quiet7599 from fear4480, 6343 of evil.7451
Proverbs 2:
Chapter 2:22 Verses
20 Proverbs
20-2:1 My son,1121 if518 thou wilt receive3947 my words,561 and hide6845 my commandments4687 with854 thee;
20-2:2 So that thou incline7181 thine ear241 unto wisdom,2451 and apply5186 thine heart3820 to understanding;8394
20-2:3 Yea,3588 if518 thou criest7121 after knowledge,998 and liftest up5414 thy voice6963 for understanding;8394
20-2:4 If518 thou seekest1245 her as silver,3701 and searchest2664 for her as for hid treasures;4301
20-2:5 Then227 shalt thou understand995 the fear3374 of the LORD,3068 and find4672 the knowledge1847 of God.430
20-2:6 For3588 the LORD3068 giveth5414 wisdom:2451 out of his mouth4480, 6310 cometh knowledge1847 and understanding.8394
20-2:7 He layeth up6845 sound wisdom8454 for the righteous:3477 he is a buckler4043 to them that walk1980 uprightly.8537
20-2:8 He keepeth5341 the paths734 of judgment,4941 and preserveth8104 the way1870 of his saints.2623
20-2:9 Then227 shalt thou understand995 righteousness,6664 and judgment,4941 and equity;4339 yea, every3605 good2896 path.4570
20-2:10 When3588 wisdom2451 entereth935 into thine heart,3820 and knowledge1847 is pleasant5276 unto thy soul;5315
20-2:11 Discretion4209 shall preserve8104, 5921 thee, understanding8394 shall keep5341 thee:
20-2:12 To deliver5337 thee from the way4480, 1870 of the evil7451 man, from the man4480, 376 that speaketh1696 froward things;8419
20-2:13 Who leave5800 the paths734 of uprightness,3476 to walk1980 in the ways1870 of darkness;2822
20-2:14 Who rejoice8056 to do6213 evil,7451 and delight in1523 the frowardness8419 of the wicked;7451
20-2:15 Whose834 ways734 are crooked,6141 and they froward3868 in their paths:4570
20-2:16 To deliver5337 thee from the strange woman,4480, 802, 2114 even from the stranger4480, 5237 which flattereth2505 with her words;561
20-2:17 Which forsaketh5800 the guide441 of her youth,5271 and forgetteth7911 the covenant1285 of her God.430
20-2:18 For3588 her house1004 inclineth7743 unto413 death,4194 and her paths4570 unto413 the dead.7496
20-2:19 None3808, 3605 that go unto935 her return again,7725 neither3808 take they hold5381 of the paths734 of life.2416
20-2:20 That4616 thou mayest walk1980 in the way1870 of good2896 men, and keep8104 the paths734 of the righteous.6662
20-2:21 For3588 the upright3477 shall dwell in7931 the land,776 and the perfect8549 shall remain3498 in it.
20-2:22 But the wicked7563 shall be cut off3772 from the earth,4480, 776 and the transgressors898 shall be rooted5255 out of4480 it.

Chapter 3:35 Verses
20 Proverbs
20-3:1 My son,1121 forget7911 not408 my law;8451 but let thine heart3820 keep5341 my commandments:4687
20-3:2 For3588 length753 of days,3117 and long8141 life,2416 and peace,7965 shall they add3254 to thee.
20-3:3 Let not408 mercy2617 and truth571 forsake5800 thee: bind7194 them about5921 thy neck;1621 write3789 them upon5921 the table3871 of thine heart:3820
20-3:4 So shalt thou find4672 favor2580 and good2896 understanding7922 in the sight5869 of God430 and man.120
20-3:5 Trust982 in413 the LORD3068 with all3605 thine heart;3820 and lean8172 not408 unto413 thine own understanding.998
20-3:6 In all3605 thy ways1870 acknowledge3045 him, and he1931 shall direct3474 thy paths.734
20-3:7 Be1961 not408 wise2450 in thine own eyes:5869 fear3372 (853) the LORD,3068 and depart5493 from evil.4480, 7451
20-3:8 It shall be1961 health7500 to thy navel,8270 and marrow8250 to thy bones.6106
20-3:9 Honor3513 (853) the LORD3068 with thy substance,4480, 1952 and with the firstfruits4480, 7225 of all3605 thine increase:8393
20-3:10 So shall thy barns618 be filled4390 with plenty,7647 and thy presses3342 shall burst out6555 with new wine.8492
20-3:11 My son,1121 despise3988 not408 the chastening4148 of the LORD;3068 neither408 be weary6973 of his correction:8433
20-3:12 For3588 (853) whom834 the LORD3068 loveth157 he correcteth;3198 even as a father1 (853) the son1121 in whom he delighteth.7521
20-3:13 Happy835 is the man120 that findeth4672 wisdom,2451 and the man120 that getteth6329 understanding.8394
20-3:14 For3588 the merchandise5504 of it is better2896 than the merchandise4480, 5505 of silver,3701 and the gain8393 thereof than fine gold.4480, 2742
20-3:15 She1931 is more precious3368 than rubies:4480, 6443 and all3605 the things thou canst desire2656 are not3808 to be compared7737 unto her.
20-3:16 Length753 of days3117 is in her right hand;3225 and in her left hand8040 riches6239 and honor.3519
20-3:17 Her ways1870 are ways1870 of pleasantness,5278 and all3605 her paths5410 are peace.7965
20-3:18 She1931 is a tree6086 of life2416 to them that lay hold2388 upon her: and happy833 is every one that retaineth8551 her.
20-3:19 The LORD3068 by wisdom2451 hath founded3245 the earth;776 by understanding8394 hath he established3559 the heavens.8064
20-3:20 By his knowledge1847 the depths8415 are broken up,1234 and the clouds7834 drop down7491 the dew.2919
20-3:21 My son,1121 let not408 them depart3868 from thine eyes:4480, 5869 keep5341 sound wisdom8454 and discretion:4209
20-3:22 So shall they be1961 life2416 unto thy soul,5315 and grace2580 to thy neck.1621
20-3:23 Then227 shalt thou walk1980 in thy way1870 safely,983 and thy foot7272 shall not3808 stumble.5062
20-3:24 When518 thou liest down,7901 thou shalt not3808 be afraid:6342 yea, thou shalt lie down,7901 and thy sleep8142 shall be sweet.6149
20-3:25 Be not408 afraid3372 of sudden6597 fear,4480, 6343 neither of the desolation4480, 7722 of the wicked,7563 when3588 it cometh.935
20-3:26 For3588 the LORD3068 shall be1961 thy confidence,3689 and shall keep8104 thy foot7272 from being taken.4480, 3921
20-3:27 Withhold4513 not408 good2896 from them to whom it is due,4480, 1167 when it is1961 in the power410 of thine hand3027 to do6213 it.
20-3:28 Say559 not408 unto thy neighbor,7453 Go,1980 and come again,7725 and tomorrow4279 I will give;5414 when thou hast3426 it by854 thee.
20-3:29 Devise2790 not408 evil7451 against5921 thy neighbor,7453 seeing he1931 dwelleth3427 securely983 by854 thee.
20-3:30 Strive7378 not408 with5973 a man120 without cause,2600 if518 he have done1580 thee no3808 harm.7451
20-3:31 Envy7065 thou not408 the oppressor,376, 2555 and choose977 none408, 3605 of his ways.1870
20-3:32 For3588 the froward3868 is abomination8441 to the LORD:3068 but his secret5475 is with854 the righteous.3477
20-3:33 The curse3994 of the LORD3068 is in the house1004 of the wicked:7563 but he blesseth1288 the habitation5116 of the just.6662
20-3:34 Surely518 he1931 scorneth3887 the scorners:3887 but he giveth5414 grace2580 unto the lowly.6035
20-3:35 The wise2450 shall inherit5157 glory:3519 but shame7036 shall be the promotion7311 of fools.3684

20-4:1 Hear,8085 ye children,1121 the instruction4148 of a father,1 and attend7181 to know3045 understanding.998
20-4:2 For3588 I give5414 you good2896 doctrine,3948 forsake5800 ye not408 my law.8451
20-4:3 For3588 I was1961 my father's1 son,1121 tender7390 and only3173 beloved in the sight6440 of my mother.517

20-4:5 Get7069 wisdom,2451 get7069 understanding:998 forget7911 it not;408 neither408 decline5186 from the words4480, 561 of my mouth.6310

20-4:9 She shall give5414 to thine head7218 an ornament3880 of grace:2580 a crown5850 of glory8597 shall she deliver4042 to thee.
20-4:10 Hear,8085 O my son,1121 and receive3947 my sayings;561 and the years8141 of thy life2416 shall be many.7235

20-4:16 For3588 they sleep3462 not,3808 except518, 3808 they have done mischief;7489 and their sleep8142 is taken away,1497 unless518, 3808 they cause some to fall.3782
20-4:17 For3588 they eat3898 the bread3899 of wickedness,7562 and drink8354 the wine3196 of violence.2555
20-4:18 But the path734 of the just6662 is as the shining5051 light,216 that shineth215 more and more1980 unto5704 the perfect3559 day.3117
20-4:19 The way1870 of the wicked7563 is as darkness:653 they know3045 not3808 at what4100 they stumble.3782

20-4:21 Let them not408 depart3868 from thine eyes;4480, 5869 keep8104 them in the midst8432 of thine heart.3824
20-4:22 For3588 they1992 are life2416 unto those that find4672 them, and health4832 to all3605 their flesh.1320
20-4:23 Keep5341 thy heart3820 with all4480, 3605 diligence;4929 for3588 out of4480 it are the issues8444 of life.2416
