Proverbs Chapter 4

1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know 
understanding.

2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my 
mother.

4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: 
keep my commandments, and live.

5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the 
words of my mouth.

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall 
keep thee.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy 
getting get understanding.

8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, 
when thou dost embrace her.

9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory 
shall she deliver to thee.

10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life 
shall be many.

11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou 
runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is 
thy life.

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep 
is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more 
and more unto the perfect day.

19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine 
heart.

22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their 
flesh.

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight 
before thee.

26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Proverbs Chapter 5

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is 
smoother than oil:

4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, 
that thou canst not know them.

7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of 
my mouth.

8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the 
house of a stranger;

11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear 
to them that instructed me!

14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of 
thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the 
streets.

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts 
satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and 
embrace the bosom of a stranger?

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth 
all his goings.

22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be 
holden with the cords of his sins.

23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly 
he shall go astray.

Proverbs Chapter 6

1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy 
hand with a stranger,

2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the 
words of thy mouth.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the 
hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird 
from the hand of the fowler.

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy 
sleep?

10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands 
to sleep:

11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an 
armed man.

12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with 
his fingers;

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he 
soweth discord.

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be 
broken without remedy.

16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination 
unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in 
running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among 
brethren.

20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy 
mother:

21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall 
keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of 
instruction are the way of life:

24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of 
a strange woman.

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee 
with her eyelids.

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.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her 
shall not be innocent.

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he 
is hungry;

31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the 
substance of his house.

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he 
that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be 
wiped away.

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the 
day of vengeance.

35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though 
thou givest many gifts.
