[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

PROV 4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

PROV 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

PROV 4:3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

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

PROV 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

PROV 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

PROV 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

PROV 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

PROV 4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

PROV 4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

PROV 4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

PROV 4:12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

PROV 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

PROV 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

PROV 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

PROV 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

PROV 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

PROV 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

PROV 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

PROV 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

PROV 4:21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

PROV 4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

PROV 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

PROV 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

PROV 4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

PROV 4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

PROV 4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
