counsel of two or three

Deuteronomy Chapter 19:15

One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Psalm Chapter 1:1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Psalm Chapter 20:4

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

Psalm Chapter 32:8

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Proverbs Chapter 1:1

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

Proverbs Chapter 1:2

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

Proverbs Chapter 1:3

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Proverbs Chapter 1:4

To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs Chapter 1:5

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Proverbs Chapter 1:6

To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Proverbs Chapter 1:7

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs Chapter 1:8

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Proverbs Chapter 1:9

For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

Proverbs Chapter 1:10

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

Proverbs Chapter 1:11

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

Proverbs Chapter 1:12

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

Proverbs Chapter 1:13

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

Proverbs Chapter 1:14

Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

Proverbs Chapter 1:15

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

Proverbs Chapter 1:16

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Proverbs Chapter 1:17

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

Proverbs Chapter 1:18

And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

Proverbs Chapter 1:19

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Proverbs Chapter 1:20

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

Proverbs Chapter 1:21

She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

Proverbs Chapter 1:22

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs Chapter 1:23

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Proverbs Chapter 1:24

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Proverbs Chapter 1:25

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Proverbs Chapter 1:26

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

Proverbs Chapter 1:27

When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Proverbs Chapter 1:28

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Proverbs Chapter 1:29

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Proverbs Chapter 1:30

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Proverbs Chapter 1:31

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Proverbs Chapter 1:32

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Proverbs Chapter 1:33

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Proverbs Chapter 2:1

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Proverbs Chapter 2:2

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

Proverbs Chapter 2:3

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

Proverbs Chapter 2:4

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

Proverbs Chapter 2:5

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs Chapter 2:6

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs Chapter 2:7

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Proverbs Chapter 2:8

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

Proverbs Chapter 2:9

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Proverbs Chapter 2:10

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

Proverbs Chapter 2:11

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Proverbs Chapter 2:12

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Proverbs Chapter 2:13

Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

Proverbs Chapter 2:14

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

Proverbs Chapter 2:15

Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

Proverbs Chapter 2:16

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

Proverbs Chapter 2:17

Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

Proverbs Chapter 2:18

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

Proverbs Chapter 2:19

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

Proverbs Chapter 2:20

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

Proverbs Chapter 2:21

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

Proverbs Chapter 2:22

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Proverbs Chapter 3:1

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Proverbs Chapter 3:2

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Proverbs Chapter 3:3

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

Proverbs Chapter 3:4

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Proverbs Chapter 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Proverbs Chapter 3:6

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs Chapter 3:7

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Proverbs Chapter 3:8

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Proverbs Chapter 3:9

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

Proverbs Chapter 3:10

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Proverbs Chapter 3:11

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

Proverbs Chapter 3:12

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Proverbs Chapter 3:13

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Proverbs Chapter 3:14

For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Proverbs Chapter 3:15

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Proverbs Chapter 3:16

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

Proverbs Chapter 3:17

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Proverbs Chapter 3:18

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Proverbs Chapter 3:19

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

Proverbs Chapter 3:20

By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

Proverbs Chapter 3:21

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Proverbs Chapter 3:22

So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

Proverbs Chapter 3:23

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

Proverbs Chapter 3:24

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Proverbs Chapter 3:25

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

Proverbs Chapter 3:26

For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Proverbs Chapter 3:27

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

Proverbs Chapter 3:28

Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

Proverbs Chapter 3:29

Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

Proverbs Chapter 3:30

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

Proverbs Chapter 3:31

Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

Proverbs Chapter 3:32

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

Proverbs Chapter 3:33

The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

Proverbs Chapter 3:34

Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Proverbs Chapter 3:35

The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Proverbs Chapter 4:1

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:2

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:3

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:4

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:5

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:6

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:7

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:8

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:9

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:10

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:11

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:12

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:13

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:14

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:15

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:16

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:17

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:18

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:19

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:20

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:21

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:22

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:23

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:24

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:25

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:26

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

Proverbs Chapter 4:27

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:

Proverbs Chapter 5:2

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:3

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:4

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:5

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:6

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:7

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:8

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:9

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:10

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:11

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:12

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:13

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:14

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:15

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:16

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:17

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:18

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:19

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.

Proverbs Chapter 5:20

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:21

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:22

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

Proverbs Chapter 5:23

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,

Proverbs Chapter 6:2

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:3

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.

Proverbs Chapter 6:4

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:5

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:6

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:7

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

Proverbs Chapter 6:8

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:9

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:10

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:11

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:12

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:13

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:14

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:15

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:16

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:17

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:18

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:19

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:20

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:21

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:22

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:23

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:24

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:25

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:26

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.

Proverbs Chapter 6:27

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:28

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:29

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:30

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:31

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:32

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:33

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:34

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

Proverbs Chapter 6:35

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

Proverbs Chapter 7:1

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Proverbs Chapter 7:2

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Proverbs Chapter 7:3

Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

Proverbs Chapter 7:4

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

Proverbs Chapter 7:5

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

Proverbs Chapter 7:6

For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

Proverbs Chapter 7:7

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

Proverbs Chapter 7:8

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

Proverbs Chapter 7:9

In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

Proverbs Chapter 7:10

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

Proverbs Chapter 7:11

She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

Proverbs Chapter 7:12

Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

Proverbs Chapter 7:13

So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

Proverbs Chapter 7:14

I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

Proverbs Chapter 7:15

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

Proverbs Chapter 7:16

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

Proverbs Chapter 7:17

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Proverbs Chapter 7:18

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Proverbs Chapter 7:19

For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

Proverbs Chapter 7:20

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

Proverbs Chapter 7:21

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

Proverbs Chapter 7:22

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Proverbs Chapter 7:23

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Proverbs Chapter 7:24

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Proverbs Chapter 7:25

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Proverbs Chapter 7:26

For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

Proverbs Chapter 7:27

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs Chapter 8:1

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

Proverbs Chapter 8:2

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

Proverbs Chapter 8:3

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

Proverbs Chapter 8:4

Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

Proverbs Chapter 8:5

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Proverbs Chapter 8:6

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Proverbs Chapter 8:7

For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Proverbs Chapter 8:8

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

Proverbs Chapter 8:9

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

Proverbs Chapter 8:10

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

Proverbs Chapter 8:11

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Proverbs Chapter 8:12

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Proverbs Chapter 8:13

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Proverbs Chapter 8:14

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Proverbs Chapter 8:15

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

Proverbs Chapter 8:16

By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

Proverbs Chapter 8:17

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Proverbs Chapter 8:18

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

Proverbs Chapter 8:19

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Proverbs Chapter 8:20

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

Proverbs Chapter 8:21

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

Proverbs Chapter 8:22

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

Proverbs Chapter 8:23

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Proverbs Chapter 8:24

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

Proverbs Chapter 8:25

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

Proverbs Chapter 8:26

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

Proverbs Chapter 8:27

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

Proverbs Chapter 8:28

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

Proverbs Chapter 8:29

When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Proverbs Chapter 8:30

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Proverbs Chapter 8:31

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

Proverbs Chapter 8:32

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Proverbs Chapter 8:33

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

Proverbs Chapter 8:34

Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

Proverbs Chapter 8:35

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

Proverbs Chapter 9:1

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

Proverbs Chapter 9:2

She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

Proverbs Chapter 9:3

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

Proverbs Chapter 9:4

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Proverbs Chapter 9:5

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Proverbs Chapter 9:6

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Proverbs Chapter 9:7

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Proverbs Chapter 9:8

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Proverbs Chapter 9:9

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Proverbs Chapter 9:10

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Proverbs Chapter 9:11

For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Proverbs Chapter 9:12

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Proverbs Chapter 9:13

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Proverbs Chapter 9:14

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

Proverbs Chapter 9:15

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Proverbs Chapter 9:16

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Proverbs Chapter 9:17

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Proverbs Chapter 9:18

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Proverbs Chapter 10:1

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Proverbs Chapter 10:2

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Proverbs Chapter 10:3

The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

Proverbs Chapter 10:4

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

Proverbs Chapter 10:5

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Proverbs Chapter 10:6

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs Chapter 10:7

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Proverbs Chapter 10:8

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

Proverbs Chapter 10:9

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

Proverbs Chapter 10:10

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

Proverbs Chapter 10:11

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs Chapter 10:12

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Proverbs Chapter 10:13

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

Proverbs Chapter 10:14

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

Proverbs Chapter 10:15

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
