1
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
34 I
2
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
17 I
3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
33 I
4
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
19 I
5
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
42 I
6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
50 I
7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
18 I
8
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
2 I
9
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
30 I
10
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
12 I
11
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
17 I
12
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
15 I
13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
15 I
14
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
11 I
15
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
23 I
16
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
3 I
17
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
5 I
18
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
25 I
19
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
7 I
20
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
5 I
21
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
9 I
22
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
5 I
23
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
5 I
24
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
5 I
25
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
7 I
26
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
19 I
27
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
11 I
28
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
6 I
29
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
3 I
30
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
3 I
31
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
3 I
32
For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
11 I
33
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
15 I
34
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
5 I
35
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
5 I
