5:1

My son
<01121>_,

attend
<07181> (8685)

unto my wisdom
<02451>_,

[and] bow
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>

to my understanding
<08394>_:

<04912>

of Solomon

Proverbs 11:1-31

11:1

A false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but a just
<08003>

weight
<068>

[is] his delight
<07522>_.

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

11:2

[When] pride
<02087>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_,

then cometh
<0935> (8799)

shame
<07036>_:

but with the lowly
<06800> (8803)

[is] wisdom
<02451>_.

11:3

The integrity
<08538>

of the upright
<03477>

shall guide
<05148> (8686)

them: but the perverseness
<05558>

of transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall destroy
<07703> (8799) (8675) <07703> (8804)

them.

11:4

Riches
<01952>

profit
<03276> (8686)

not in the day
<03117>

of wrath
<05678>_:

but righteousness
<06666>

delivereth
<05337> (8686)

from death
<04194>_.

11:5

The righteousness
<06666>

of the perfect
<08549>

shall direct
<03474> (8762)

his way
<01870>_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by his own wickedness
<07564>_.

{direct: Heb. rectify}

11:6

The righteousness
<06666>

of the upright
<03477>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

them: but transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

in [their own] naughtiness
<01942>_.

11:7

When a wicked
<07563>

man
<0120>

dieth
<04194>_,

[his] expectation
<08615>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_:

and the hope
<08431>

of unjust
<0205>

[men] perisheth
<06> (8804)_.

11:8

The righteous
<06662>

is delivered out
<02502> (8738)

of trouble
<06869>_,

and the wicked
<07563>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

in his stead.

11:9

An hypocrite
<02611>

with [his] mouth
<06310>

destroyeth
<07843> (8686)

his neighbour
<07453>_:

but through knowledge
<01847>

shall the just
<06662>

be delivered
<02502> (8735)_.

11:10

When it goeth well
<02898>

with the righteous
<06662>_,

the city
<07151>

rejoiceth
<05970> (8799)_:

and when the wicked
<07563>

perish
<06> (8800)_,

[there is] shouting
<07440>_.

11:11

By the blessing
<01293>

of the upright
<03477>

the city
<07176>

is exalted
<07311> (8799)_:

but it is overthrown
<02040> (8735)

by the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

11:12

He that is void
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>

despiseth
<0936> (8802)

his neighbour
<07453>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

holdeth his peace
<02790> (8686)_.

{void...: Heb. destitute of heart}

11:13

A talebearer
<01980> (8802) <07400>

revealeth
<01540> (8764)

secrets
<05475>_:

but he that is of a faithful
<0539> (8738)

spirit
<07307>

concealeth
<03680> (8764)

the matter
<01697>_.

{A talebearer: Heb. He that walketh, being a talebearer}

11:14

Where no counsel
<08458>

[is], the people
<05971>

fall
<05307> (8799)_:

but in the multitude
<07230>

of counsellors
<03289> (8802)

[there is] safety
<08668>_.

11:15

He that is surety
<06148> (8804)

for a stranger
<02114> (8801)

shall smart
<07321> (8735) <07451>

[for it]: and he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

suretiship
<08628> (8802)

is sure
<0982> (8802)_.

{smart: Heb. be sore broken} {suretiship: Heb. those that strike hands}

11:16

A gracious
<02580>

woman
<0802>

retaineth
<08551> (8799)

honour
<03519>_:

and strong
<06184>

[men] retain
<08551> (8799)

riches
<06239>_.

11:17

The merciful
<02617>

man
<0376>

doeth good
<01580> (8802)

to his own soul
<05315>_:

but [he that is] cruel
<0394>

troubleth
<05916> (8802)

his own flesh
<07607>_.

11:18

The wicked
<07563>

worketh
<06213> (8802)

a deceitful
<08267>

work
<06468>_:

but to him that soweth
<02232> (8802)

righteousness
<06666>

[shall be] a sure
<0571>

reward
<07938>_.

11:19

As righteousness
<06666>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

so he that pursueth
<07291> (8764)

evil
<07451>

[pursueth it] to his own death
<04194>_.

11:20

They that are of a froward
<06141>

heart
<03820>

[are] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but [such as are] upright
<08549>

in [their] way
<01870>

[are] his delight
<07522>_.

11:21

[Though] hand
<03027>

[join] in hand
<03027>_,

the wicked
<07451>

shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_:

but the seed
<02233>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be delivered
<04422> (8738)_.

11:22

[As] a jewel
<05141>

of gold
<02091>

in a swine's
<02386>

snout
<0639>_,

[so is] a fair
<03303>

woman
<0802>

which is without
<05493> (8802)

discretion
<02940>_.

{is without: Heb. departeth from}

11:23

The desire
<08378>

of the righteous
<06662>

[is] only good
<02896>_:

[but] the expectation
<08615>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] wrath
<05678>_.

11:24

There is
<03426>

that scattereth
<06340> (8764)_,

and yet increaseth
<03254> (8737)_;

and [there is] that withholdeth
<02820> (8802)

more than is meet
<03476>_,

but [it tendeth] to poverty
<04270>_.

11:25

The liberal
<01293>

soul
<05315>

shall be made fat
<01878> (8792)_:

and he that watereth
<07301> (8688)

shall be watered
<03384> (8686)

also himself. {liberal...: Heb. soul of blessing}

11:26

He that withholdeth
<04513> (8802)

corn
<01250>_,

the people
<03816>

shall curse
<05344> (8799)

him: but blessing
<01293>

[shall be] upon the head
<07218>

of him that selleth
<07666> (8688)

[it].

11:27

He that diligently seeketh
<07836> (8802)

good
<02896>

procureth
<01245> (8762)

favour
<07522>_:

but he that seeketh
<01875> (8802)

mischief
<07451>_,

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto him.

11:28

He that trusteth
<0982> (8802)

in his riches
<06239>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)_:

but the righteous
<06662>

shall flourish
<06524> (8799)

as a branch
<05929>_.

11:29

He that troubleth
<05916> (8802)

his own house
<01004>

shall inherit
<05157> (8799)

the wind
<07307>_:

and the fool
<0191>

[shall be] servant
<05650>

to the wise
<02450>

of heart
<03820>_.

11:30

The fruit
<06529>

of the righteous
<06662>

[is] a tree
<06086>

of life
<02416>_;

and he that winneth
<03947> (8802)

souls
<05315>

[is] wise
<02450>_.

{winneth: Heb. taketh}

11:31

Behold, the righteous
<06662>

shall be recompensed
<07999> (8792)

in the earth
<0776>_:

much more the wicked
<07563>

and the sinner
<02398> (8802)_.

Proverbs 1:1

1:1

The proverbs
<04912>

of Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>_,

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Proverbs 20:1-30

20:1

Wine
<03196>

[is] a mocker
<03887> (8801)_,

strong drink
<07941>

[is] raging
<01993> (8802)_:

and whosoever is deceived
<07686> (8802)

thereby is not wise
<02449> (8799)_.

20:2

The fear
<0367>

of a king
<04428>

[is] as the roaring
<05099>

of a lion
<03715>_:

[whoso] provoketh him to anger
<05674> (8693)

sinneth
<02398> (8802)

[against] his own soul
<05315>_.

20:3

[It is] an honour
<03519>

for a man
<0376>

to cease
<07674>

from strife
<07379>_:

but every fool
<0191>

will be meddling
<01566> (8691)_.

20:4

The sluggard
<06102>

will not plow
<02790> (8799)

by reason of the cold
<02779>_;

[therefore] shall he beg
<07592> (8804) (8675) <07592> (8799)

in harvest
<07105>_,

and [have] nothing. {cold: or, winter}

20:5

Counsel
<06098>

in the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

[is like] deep
<06013>

water
<04325>_;

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

will draw it out
<01802> (8799)_.

20:6

Most
<07230>

men
<0120>

will proclaim
<07121> (8799)

every one
<0376>

his own goodness
<02617>_:

but a faithful
<0529>

man
<0376>

who can find
<04672> (8799)_?

{goodness: or, bounty}

20:7

The just
<06662>

[man] walketh
<01980> (8693)

in his integrity
<08537>_:

his children
<01121>

[are] blessed
<0835>

after
<0310>

him.

20:8

A king
<04428>

that sitteth in
<03427> (8802)

the throne
<03678>

of judgment
<01779>

scattereth away
<02219> (8764)

all evil
<07451>

with his eyes
<05869>_.

20:9

Who can say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have made my heart
<03820>

clean
<02135> (8765)_,

I am pure
<02891> (8804)

from my sin
<02403>_?

20:10

Divers weights
<068> <068>_,

[and] divers measures
<0374> <0374>_,

both
<08147>

of them [are] alike
<01571>

abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_.

{Divers weights: Heb. A stone and a stone} {divers measures: Heb. an ephah and an ephah}

20:11

Even a child
<05288>

is known
<05234> (8691)

by his doings
<04611>_,

whether his work
<06467>

[be] pure
<02134>_,

and whether [it be] right
<03477>_.

20:12

The hearing
<08085> (8802)

ear
<0241>_,

and the seeing
<07200> (8802)

eye
<05869>_,

the LORD
<03068>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

even both
<08147>

of them.

20:13

Love
<0157> (8799)

not sleep
<08142>_,

lest thou come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_;

open
<06491> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>_,

[and] thou shalt be satisfied
<07646> (8798)

with bread
<03899>_.

20:14

[It is] naught
<07451>_,

[it is] naught
<07451>_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

the buyer
<07069> (8802)_:

but when he is gone
<0235> (8801)

his way, then he boasteth
<01984> (8691)_.

20:15

There is
<03426>

gold
<02091>_,

and a multitude
<07230>

of rubies
<06443>_:

but the lips
<08193>

of knowledge
<01847>

[are] a precious
<03366>

jewel
<03627>_.

20:16

Take
<03947> (8798)

his garment
<0899>

that is surety
<06148> (8804)

[for] a stranger
<02114> (8801)_:

and take a pledge
<02254> (8798)

of him for a strange woman
<05237>_.

20:17

Bread
<03899>

of deceit
<08267>

[is] sweet
<06156>

to a man
<0376>_;

but afterwards
<0310>

his mouth
<06310>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with gravel
<02687>_.

{deceit: Heb. lying, or, falsehood}

20:18

[Every] purpose
<04284>

is established
<03559> (8735)

by counsel
<06098>_:

and with good advice
<08458>

make
<06213> (8798)

war
<04421>_.

20:19

He that goeth about
<01980> (8802)

[as] a talebearer
<07400>

revealeth
<01540> (8802)

secrets
<05475>_:

therefore meddle
<06148> (8691)

not with him that flattereth
<06601> (8802)

with his lips
<08193>_.

{flattereth: or, enticeth}

20:20

Whoso curseth
<07043> (8764)

his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>_,

his lamp
<05216>

shall be put out
<01846> (8799)

in obscure
<0380> (8676) <0380>

darkness
<02822>_.

{lamp: or, candle}

20:21

An inheritance
<05159>

[may be] gotten hastily
<0926> (8794) (8675) <0973> (8794)

at the beginning
<07223>_;

but the end
<0319>

thereof shall not be blessed
<01288> (8792)_.

20:22

Say
<0559> (8799)

not thou, I will recompense
<07999> (8762)

evil
<07451>_;

[but] wait on
<06960> (8761)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and he shall save
<03467> (8686)

thee.

20:23

Divers weights
<068> <068>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and a false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] not good
<02896>_.

{a false...: Heb. balance of deceit}

20:24

Man's
<01397>

goings
<04703>

[are] of the LORD
<03068>_;

how can a man
<0120>

then understand
<0995> (8799)

his own way
<01870>_?

20:25

[It is] a snare
<04170>

to the man
<0120>

[who] devoureth
<03216> (8804)

[that which is] holy
<06944>_,

and after
<0310>

vows
<05088>

to make enquiry
<01239> (8763)_.

20:26

A wise
<02450>

king
<04428>

scattereth
<02219> (8764)

the wicked
<07563>_,

and bringeth
<07725> (8686)

the wheel
<0212>

over them.

20:27

The spirit
<05397>

of man
<0120>

[is] the candle
<05216>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

searching
<02664> (8802)

all the inward parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{candle: or, lamp}

20:28

Mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

preserve
<05341> (8799)

the king
<04428>_:

and his throne
<03678>

is upholden
<05582> (8804)

by mercy
<02617>_.

20:29

The glory
<08597>

of young men
<0970>

[is] their strength
<03581>_:

and the beauty
<01926>

of old men
<02205>

[is] the gray head
<07872>_.

20:30

The blueness
<02250>

of a wound
<06482>

cleanseth
<08562>

away evil
<07451>_:

so [do] stripes
<04347>

the inward parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{cleanseth...: Heb. is a purging medicine against}
