The Proverbs Of Solomon - GENEVA BIBLE 1599
The Proverbs OfSolomonThe ArgumentThe wonderful love of God toward his Church is declared in this book: for asmuch as the sum and effect of the whole Scriptures is here set forth in thesebrief sentences, which partly contain doctrine, and partly manners, and alsoexhortations to both: whereof the nine first Chapters are as a preface full ofgrave sentences and deep mysteries, to allure the hearts of men to be diligentreading of the parables that follow: which are left as a most precious jewelto the Church, of those three thousand parables mentioned 1 Kings 4:32, andwere gathered and committed to writing by Solomon’s servants, and incitedby him.

Proverbs 11The Parables of Solomon the son of David King of Israel,2To know wisdom, and instruction, to understand ye words of knowledge,3To receive instruction to do wisely, by justice and judgment and equity,4To give unto the simple, sharpness of wit, and to the child knowledge anddiscretion.5A wise man shall hear and increase in learning, and a man of understandingshall attain unto wise counsels,6To understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of ye wise, and theirdark sayings.7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdomand instruction.8My son, hear thy father’s instruction, and forsake not thy mother’s teaching.9For they shall be a comely ornament unto thine head, and as chains for thyneck.10My son, if sinners do entice thee, consent thou not.11If they say, Come with us, we will lay wait for blood, and lie privily for theinnocent without a cause:12We will swallow them up alive like a grave even whole, as those that go downinto the pit:13We shall find all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoil:14Cast in thy lot among us: we will all have one purse:15My son, walk not thou in the way with them: refrain thy foot from their path.16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.17Certainly as without cause the net is spread before the eyes of all that hathwing:18So they lay wait for blood and lie privily for their lives.
19Such are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain: he would take away thelife of the owners thereof.20Wisdom crieth without: she uttereth her voice in the streets.21She calleth in the high street, among the prease in the enterings of the gates,and uttereth her words in the city, saying,22O ye foolish, how long will ye love foolishness? and the scornful take theirpleasure in scorning, and the fools hate knowledge?23(Turn you at my correction: lo, I will pour out my mind unto you, and make youunderstand my words)24Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out mine hand, andnone would regard.25But ye have despised all my counsel, and would none of my correction.26I will also laugh at your destruction, and mock, when your fear cometh.27When your fear cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shallcome like a whirlwind: when affliction and anguish shall come upon you,28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer: they shall seek me early,but they shall not find me,29Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord.30They would none of my counsel, but despised all my correction.31Therefore shall they eat of ye fruit of their own way, and be filled with their owndevices.32For ease slayeth the foolish, and the prosperity of fools destroyeth them.33But he that obeyeth me, shall dwell safely, and be quiet from fear of evil.
Proverbs 21My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments within thee,2And cause thine ears to hearken unto wisdom, and incline thine heart tounderstanding,3(For if thou callest after knowledge, and cryest for understanding:4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for treasures,5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge ofGod.6For the Lord giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge andunderstanding.7He preserveth the state of the righteous: he is a shield to them that walkuprightly,8That they may keep the ways of judgment: and he preserveth the way of hisSaints)9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity, andevery good path. 10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledgedelighteth thy soul,11Then shall counsel preserve thee, and understanding shall keep thee,12And deliver thee from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh frowardthings,13And from them that leave the ways of righteousness to walk in the ways ofdarkness:14Which rejoice in doing evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked,15Whose ways are crooked and they are lewd in their paths.16And it shall deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger,which flattereth with her words.17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of herGod.
18Surely her house tendeth to death, and her paths unto the dead.19All they that go unto her, return not again, neither take they hold of the ways oflife.20Therefore walk thou in the way of good men, and keep the ways of therighteous.2122For the just shall dwell in the land, and the upright men shall remain in it.But the wicked shall be cut off from ye earth, and the transgressors shall berooted out of it.
Proverbs 31My son, forget not thou my Law, but let thine heart keep my commandments.2For they shall increase the length of thy days and the years of life, and thyprosperity.3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them on thy neck, and write themupon the table of thine heart.4So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.5Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own wisdom.6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy ways.7Be not wise in thine own eyes: but fear the Lord, and depart from evil.8So health shall be unto thy navel, and marrow unto thy bones.9Honor the Lord with thy riches, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.10So shall thy barns be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall burst withnew wine.11My son, refuse not the chastening of the Lord, neither be grieved with hiscorrection.12For the Lord correcteth him, whom he loveth, even as the father doeth thechild in whom he delighteth.13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that gettethunderstanding.14For the merchandise thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and thegain thereof is better than gold.15It is more precious than pearls: and all things that thou canst desire, are not tobe compared unto her.16Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.17Her ways are ways of pleasure, and all her paths prosperity.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her, and blessed is he thatretaineth her.19The Lord by wisdom hath laid the foundation of the earth, and hathestablished the heavens through understanding.20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down thedew.21My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but observe wisdom, andcounsel.22So they shall be life to thy soul, and grace unto thy neck.23Then shalt thou walk safely by thy way: and thy foot shall not stumble.24If thou sleepest, thou shalt not be afraid, and when thou sleepest, thy sleepshall be sweet.25Thou shalt not fear for any sudden fear, neither for the destruction of thewicked, when it cometh.26For the Lord shall be for thine assurance, and shall preserve thy foot fromtaking.27Withhold not the good from the owners thereof, though there be power in thinehand to do it.28Say not unto thy neighbor, Go and come again, and tomorrow will I give thee,if thou now have it.29Intend none hurt against thy neighbor, seeing he doeth dwell without fear bythee.30Strive not with a man causeless, when he hath done thee no harm.31Be not envious for the wicked man, neither choose any of his ways.32For the froward is abomination unto the Lord: but his secret is with therighteous.33The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth thehabitation of the righteous.34With the scornful he scorneth, but he giveth grace unto the humble.
35The wise shall inherit glory: but fools dishonor, though they be exalted.
Proverbs 41Hear, O ye children, the instruction of a father, and give ear to learnunderstanding.2For I do give you a good doctrine: therefore forsake ye not my law.3For I was my father’s son, tender and dear in the sight of my mother,4When he taught me, and said unto me, Let thine heart hold fast my words:keep my commandments, and thou shalt live.5Get wisdom: get understanding: forget not, neither decline from the words ofmy mouth.6Forsake her not, and she shall keep thee: love her and she shall preserve thee.7Wisdom is the beginning: get wisdom therefore: and above all thy possessionget understanding.8Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honor, if thouembrace her.9She shall give a comely ornament unto thine head, yea, she shall give thee acrown of glory.10Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of thy life shall be many.11I have taught thee in ye way of wisdom, and led thee in the paths ofrighteousness.12When thou goest, thy gate shall not be strait, and when thou runnest, thoushalt not fall.13Take hold of instruction, and leave not: keep her, for she is thy life.14Enter not into the way of the wicked, and walk not in the way of evil men.15Avoid it, and go not by it: turn from it, and pass by.16For they cannot sleep, except they have done evil, and their sleep departethexcept they cause some to fall.17For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18But the way of the righteous shineth as the light, that shineth more and moreunto the perfect day.19The way of the wicked is as the darkness: they know not wherein they shallfall.20My son, hearken unto my words, incline thine ear unto my sayings.21Let them not depart from thine eyes, but keep them in the midst of thine heart.22For they are life unto those that find them, and health unto all their flesh.23Keep thine heart with all diligence: for there out cometh life.24Put away from thee a froward mouth, and put wicked lips far from thee.25Let thine eyes behold the right, and let thine eyelids direct thy way beforethee.26Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be ordered aright.27Turn not to the right hand, nor to the left, but remove thy foot from evil.
Proverbs 51My son, hearken unto my wisdom, and incline thine ear unto my knowledge.2That thou mayest regard counsel, and thy lips observe knowledge.3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is moresoft than oil.4But the end of her is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.5Her feet go down to death, and her steps take hold on hell.6She weigheth not the way of life: her paths are moveable: thou canst not knowthem.7Hear ye me now therefore, O children, and depart not from the words of mymouth.8Keep thy way far from her, and come not near the door of her house,9Lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years to the cruel:10Lest the stranger should be filled with thy strength, and thy labors be in thehouse of a stranger,11And thou mourn at thine end, (when thou hast consumed thy flesh and thybody)12And say, How have I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction!13And have not obeyed the voice of them that taught me, nor inclined mine earto them that instructed me!14I was almost brought into all evil in ye midst of the Congregation andassembly.15Drink the water of thy cistern, and of the rivers out of the midst of thine ownwell.16Let thy fountains flow forth, and the rivers of waters in the streets.17But let them be thine, even thine only, and not the strangers with thee.18Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe: let her breasts satisfy thee atall times, and delight in her love continually.20For why shouldest thou delight, my son, in a strange woman, or embrace thebosom of a stranger?21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all hispaths.22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden withthe cords of his own sin.23He shall die for fault of instruction, and shall go astray through his great folly.
Proverbs 61My son, if thou be surety for thy neighbor, and hast stricken hands with thestranger,2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth: thou art even taken with thewords of thine own mouth.3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself: seeing thou art come into the hand ofthy neighbor, go, and humble thyself, and solicit thy friends.4Give no sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.5Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from thehand of the fowler.6Go to the pismire, O sluggard: behold her ways, and be wise.7For she having no guide, governor, nor ruler,8Prepareth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in harvest.9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.11Therefore thy poverty cometh as one that travaileth by the way, and thynecessity like an armed man.12The unthrifty man and the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth.13He maketh a sign with his eyes: he signifieth with his feet: he instructeth withhis fingers.14Lewd things are in his heart: he imagineth evil at all times, and raiseth upcontentions.15Therefore shall his destruction come speedily: he shall be destroyed suddenlywithout recovery.16These six things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soul abhorreth seven:17The haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood,
18An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feet that be swift in running tomischief,19A false witness that speaketh lies, and him that raiseth up contentions amongbrethren.20My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not thy mother’sinstruction.21Bind them alway upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.22It shall lead thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thousleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talk with thee.23For the commandment is a lantern, and instruction a light: and corrections forinstruction are the way of life,24To keep thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flattery of ye tongue of astrange woman.25Desire not her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids.26For because of the whorish woman a man is brought to a morsel of bread, anda woman will hunt for the precious life of a man.27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burnt?28Or can a man go upon coals, and his feet not be burnt?29So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife, shall not be innocent, whosoevertoucheth her.30Men do not despise a thief, when he stealeth, to satisfy his soul, because he ishungry.31But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold, or he shall give all thesubstance of his house.32But he that commiteth adultery with a woman, he is destitute of understanding:he that doeth it, destroyeth his own soul.3334He shall find a wound and dishonor, and his reproach shall never be put away.For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day ofvengeance.
35He cannot bear the sight of any ransom: neither will he consent, though thouaugment the gifts.
Proverbs 71My son, keep my words, and hide my commandments with thee.2Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live, and mine instruction as theapple of thine eyes.3Bind them upon thy fingers, and write them upon the table of thine heart.4Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister: and call understanding thy kinswoman,5That they may keep thee from the str
