11:1

A false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD

<08003>

weight
<068>

[is] his delight
<07522>_.

{A false...: Heb. Balances of deceit} {just...: Heb. perfect stone}

Proverbs 10:1-32

10:1

The proverbs
<04912>

<08010>_.

A wise
<02450>

son
<01121>

maketh a glad
<08055> (8762)

father
<01>_:

but a foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] the heaviness
<08424>

of his mother
<0517>_.

10:2

Treasures
<0214>

of wickedness
<07562>

profit
<03276> (8686)

nothing: but righteousness

The LORD
<03068>

will not suffer
<07456> (0)

the soul
<05315>

of the righteous
<06662>

to famish
<07456> (8686)_:

but he casteth away

the substance
<01942>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

{the substance...: or, the wicked for their wickedness}

10:4

<07326> (8802)

that dealeth
<06213> (8802)

but the hand
<03027>

of the diligent

maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_.

10:5

He that gathereth
<0103> (8802)

in summer
<07019>

[is] a wise
<07919> (8688)

son
<01121>_:

[but] he that sleepeth
<07290> (8737)

in harvest
<07105>

[is] a son
<01121>

that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_.

10:6

Blessings
<01293>

[are] upon the head
<07218>

of the just

but violence

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

10:7

The memory
<02143>

of the just
<06662>

[is] blessed

of the wicked
<07563>

shall rot
<07537> (8799)_.

10:8

The wise
<02450>

in heart
<03820>

will receive
<03947> (8799)

commandments
<04687>_:

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{a prating...: Heb. a fool of lips} {fall: Heb. be beaten}

10:9

He that walketh
<03212> (8799)

uprightly
<08537>

walketh
<01980> (8802)

surely
<0983>_:

but he that perverteth

his ways
<01870>

shall be known
<03045> (8735)_.

10:10

He that winketh
<07169> (8802)

with the eye
<05869>

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{fall: Heb. be beaten}

10:11

The mouth
<06310>

of a righteous
<06662>

[man is] a well
<04726>

of life

but violence
<02555>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

10:12

Hatred
<08135>

stirreth up
<05782> (8787)

strifes
<04090>_:

but love
<0160>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

all sins
<06588>_.

10:13

In the lips
<08193>

of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)

wisdom
<02451>

is found
<04672> (8735)_:

but a rod
<07626>

[is] for the back
<01460>

of him that is void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_.

{of understanding: Heb. of heart}

10:14

Wise
<02450>

[men] lay up
<06845> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the foolish
<0191>

[is] near
<07138>

destruction
<04288>_.

10:15

The rich man's
<06223>

wealth
<01952>

[is] his strong
<05797>

city
<07151>_:

the destruction
<04288>

of the poor
<01800>

[is] their poverty
<07389>_.

10:16

The labour
<06468>

of the righteous
<06662>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

the fruit
<08393>

of the wicked
<07563>

to sin
<02403>_.

10:17

He [is in] the way
<0734>

of life
<02416>

that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that refuseth
<05800> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

erreth
<08582> (8688)_.

{erreth: or, causeth to err}

10:18

He that hideth
<03680> (8764)

hatred
<08135>

[with] lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>_,

and he that uttereth
<03318> (8688)

a slander
<01681>_,

[is] a fool
<03684>_.

10:19

In the multitude
<07230>

of words
<01697>

there wanteth
<02308> (8799)

not sin
<06588>_:

but he that refraineth
<02820> (8802)

his lips
<08193>

[is] wise
<07919> (8688)_.

10:20

The tongue
<03956>

of the just
<06662>

[is as] choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_:

the heart
<03820>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] little worth
<04592>_.

10:21

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

feed
<07462> (8799)

many
<07227>_:

but fools
<0191>

die
<04191> (8799)

for want
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>_.

{of wisdom: Heb. of heart}

10:22

The blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

it maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_,

and he addeth
<03254> (8686)

no sorrow
<06089>

with it.

10:23

[It is] as sport
<07814>

to a fool
<03684>

to do
<06213> (8800)

mischief
<02154>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

hath wisdom
<02451>_.

10:24

The fear
<04034>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon him: but the desire
<08378>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be granted
<05414> (8799)_.

10:25

As the whirlwind
<05492>

passeth
<05674> (8800)_,

so [is] the wicked
<07563>

no [more]: but the righteous
<06662>

[is] an everlasting
<05769>

foundation
<03247>_.

10:26

As vinegar
<02558>

to the teeth
<08127>_,

and as smoke
<06227>

to the eyes
<05869>_,

so [is] the sluggard
<06102>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

him.

10:27

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

prolongeth
<03254> (8686)

days
<03117>_:

but the years
<08141>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be shortened
<07114> (8799)_.

{prolongeth: Heb. addeth}

10:28

The hope
<08431>

of the righteous
<06662>

[shall be] gladness
<08057>_:

but the expectation
<08615>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

10:29

The way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] strength
<04581>

to the upright
<08537>_:

but destruction
<04288>

[shall be] to the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_.

10:30

The righteous
<06662>

shall never
<05769>

be removed
<04131> (8735)_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall not inhabit
<07931> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_.

10:31

The mouth
<06310>

of the just
<06662>

bringeth forth
<05107> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_:

but the froward
<08419>

tongue
<03956>

shall be cut out
<03772> (8735)_.

10:32

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

know
<03045> (8799)

what is acceptable
<07522>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

[speaketh] frowardness
<08419>_.

{frowardness: Heb. frowardnesses}

Proverbs 23:1-35

23:1

When thou sittest
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<03898> (8800)

with a ruler
<04910> (8802)_,

consider
<0995> (8799)

diligently
<0995> (8800)

what [is] before
<06440>

thee:

23:2

And put
<07760> (8804)

a knife
<07915>

to thy throat
<03930>_,

if thou [be] a man given
<01167>

to appetite
<05315>_.

23:3

Be not desirous
<0183> (8691)

of his dainties
<04303>_:

for they [are] deceitful
<03577>

meat
<03899>_.

23:4

Labour
<03021> (8799)

not to be rich
<06238> (8687)_:

cease
<02308> (8798)

from thine own wisdom
<0998>_.

23:5

Wilt thou set
<05774> (8686) (8675) <05774> (8799)

thine eyes
<05869>

upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly
<06213> (8800)

make
<06213> (8799)

themselves wings
<03671>_;

they fly away
<05774> (8799) (8675) <05774> (8687)

as an eagle
<05404>

toward heaven
<08064>_.

{set...: Heb. cause thine eyes to fly upon}

23:6

Eat
<03898> (8799)

thou not the bread
<03899>

of [him that hath] an evil
<07451>

eye
<05869>_,

neither desire
<0183> (8691)

thou his dainty meats
<04303>_:

23:7

For as he thinketh
<08176> (8804)

in his heart
<05315>_,

so [is] he: Eat
<0398> (8798)

and drink
<08354> (8798)_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

he to thee; but his heart
<03820>

[is] not with thee.

23:8

The morsel
<06595>

[which] thou hast eaten
<0398> (8804)

shalt thou vomit up
<06958> (8686)_,

and lose
<07843> (8765)

thy sweet
<05273>

words
<01697>_.

23:9

Speak
<01696> (8762)

not in the ears
<0241>

of a fool
<03684>_:

for he will despise
<0936> (8799)

the wisdom
<07922>

of thy words
<04405>_.

23:10

Remove
<05253> (8686)

not the old
<05769>

landmark
<01366>_;

and enter
<0935> (8799)

not into the fields
<07704>

of the fatherless
<03490>_:

{landmark: or, bound}

23:11

For their redeemer
<01350> (8802)

[is] mighty
<02389>_;

he shall plead
<07378> (8799)

their cause
<07379>

with thee.

23:12

Apply
<0935> (8685)

thine heart
<03820>

unto instruction
<04148>_,

and thine ears
<0241>

to the words
<0561>

of knowledge
<01847>_.

23:13

Withhold
<04513> (8799)

not correction
<04148>

from the child
<05288>_:

for [if] thou beatest
<05221> (8686)

him with the rod
<07626>_,

he shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.

23:14

Thou shalt beat
<05221> (8686)

him with the rod
<07626>_,

and shalt deliver
<05337> (8686)

his soul
<05315>

from hell
<07585>_.

23:15

My son
<01121>_,

if thine heart
<03820>

be wise
<02449> (8804)_,

my heart
<03820>

shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,

even mine
<0589>_.

{even...: or, even I will rejoice}

23:16

Yea, my reins
<03629>

shall rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,

when thy lips
<08193>

speak
<01696> (8763)

right things
<04339>_.

23:17

Let not thine heart
<03820>

envy
<07065> (8762)

sinners
<02400>_:

but [be thou] in the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

all the day
<03117>

long.

23:18

For surely there is
<03426>

an end
<0319>_;

and thine expectation
<08615>

shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

{end: or, reward}

23:19

Hear
<08085> (8798)

thou, my son
<01121>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and guide
<0833> (8761)

thine heart
<03820>

in the way
<01870>_.

23:20

Be not among winebibbers
<03196> <05433> (8802)_;

among riotous eaters
<02151> (8802)

of flesh
<01320>_:

{of flesh: Heb. of their flesh}

23:21

For the drunkard
<05433> (8802)

and the glutton
<02151> (8802)

shall come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_:

and drowsiness
<05124>

shall clothe
<03847> (8686)

[a man] with rags
<07168>_.

23:22

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto thy father
<01>

that begat
<03205> (8804)

thee, and despise
<0936> (8799)

not thy mother
<0517>

when she is old
<02204> (8804)_.

23:23

Buy
<07069> (8798)

the truth
<0571>_,

and sell
<04376> (8799)

[it] not; [also] wisdom
<02451>_,

and instruction
<04148>_,

and understanding
<0998>_.

23:24

The father
<01>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall greatly
<01524>

rejoice
<01523> (8799)_:

and he that begetteth
<03205> (8802)

a wise
<02450>

[child] shall have joy
<08055> (8799)

of him.

23:25

Thy father
<01>

and thy mother
<0517>

shall be glad
<08055> (8799)_,

and she that bare
<03205> (8802)

thee shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_.

23:26

My son
<01121>_,

give
<05414> (8798)

me thine heart
<03820>_,

and let thine eyes
<05869>

observe
<07521> (8799) <05341> (8799)

my ways
<01870>_.

23:27

For a whore
<02181> (8802)

[is] a deep
<06013>

ditch
<07745>_;

and a strange woman
<05237>

[is] a narrow
<06862>

pit
<0875>_.

23:28

She also lieth in wait
<0693> (8799)

as [for] a prey
<02863>_,

and increaseth
<03254> (8686)

the transgressors
<0898> (8802)

among men
<0120>_.

{as for...: or, as a robber}

23:29

Who hath woe
<0188>_?

who hath sorrow
<017>_?

who hath contentions
<04079> (8675) <04066>_?

who hath babbling
<07879>_?

who hath wounds
<06482>

without cause
<02600>_?

who hath redness
<02448>

of eyes
<05869>_?

23:30

They that tarry long
<0309> (8764)

at the wine
<03196>_;

they that go
<0935> (8802)

to seek
<02713> (8800)

mixed wine
<04469>_.

23:31

Look
<07200> (8799)

not thou upon the wine
<03196>

when it is red
<0119> (8691)_,

when it giveth
<05414> (8799)

his colour
<05869>

in the cup
<03563> (8675) <03599>_,

[when] it moveth
<01980> (8691)

itself aright
<04339>_.

23:32

At the last
<0319>

it biteth
<05391> (8799)

like a serpent
<05175>_,

and stingeth
<06567> (8686)

like an adder
<06848>_.

{an...: or, a cockatrice}

23:33

Thine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8799)

strange women
<02114> (8801)_,

and thine heart
<03820>

shall utter
<01696> (8762)

perverse things
<08419>_.

23:34

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down
<07901> (8802)

in the midst
<03820>

of the sea
<03220>_,

or as he that lieth
<07901> (8802)

upon the top
<07218>

of a mast
<02260>_.

{the midst...: Heb. the heart of the sea}

23:35

They have stricken
<05221> (8689)

me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick
<02470> (8804)_;

they have beaten
<01986> (8804)

me, [and] I felt
<03045> (8804)

[it] not: when shall I awake
<06974> (8686)_?

I will seek
<01245> (8762)

it yet
<03254> (8686)

again. {I felt...: Heb. I knew it not}
