THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Proverbs (Author Solomon)

3:1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

3:2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3:3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

3:4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

3:5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

3:6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

3:7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

3:8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

3:9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

3:10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

8:17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

8:32Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

23:15My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

23:16Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

23:24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

23:25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

29:3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
