Book 20 : PROVERBS - Chapter 004
004:001
For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law
004:002
For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the
sight of my mother
004:003
He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my
words: keep my commandments, and live
004:004
Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline
from the words of my mouth
004:005
Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and
she shall keep thee
004:006
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with
all thy getting get understanding
004:007
Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to
honour, when thou dost embrace her
004:008
She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of
glory shall she deliver to thee
004:009
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy
life shall be many
004:010
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in
right paths
004:011
When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when
thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble
004:012
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for
she is thy life
004:013
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way
of evil men
004:014
Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away
004:015
For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their
sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall
004:016
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of
violence
004:017
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth
more and more unto the perfect day
004:018
The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what
they stumble
004:019
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings
004:020
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of
thine heart
004:021
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all
their flesh
004:022
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the
issues of life
004:023
Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far
from thee
004:024
Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look
straight before thee
004:025
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be
established
004:026
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot
from evil
