Pro 22:17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

Pro 22:18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

Pro 22:19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

Pro 22:20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

Pro 22:21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

Pro 22:22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

Pro 22:23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

Pro 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

Pro 22:25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

Pro 22:26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

Pro 22:27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Pro 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Pro 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Pro 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

Pro 23:2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

Pro 23:3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

Pro 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Pro 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Pro 23:6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Pro 23:8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

Pro 23:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Pro 23:10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

Pro 23:11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

Pro 23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Pro 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Pro 23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

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

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

Pro 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

Pro 23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Pro 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

Pro 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

Pro 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Pro 23:22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

Pro 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

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

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

Pro 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Pro 23:27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

Pro 23:28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

Pro 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

Pro 23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Pro 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

Pro 23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

Pro 23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

Pro 23:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

Pro 23:35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Pro 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Pro 24:2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

Pro 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

Pro 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Pro 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Pro 24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Pro 24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

Pro 24:8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

Pro 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

Pro 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

Pro 24:11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

Pro 24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Pro 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

Pro 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Pro 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

Pro 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Pro 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Pro 24:18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Pro 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

Pro 24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Pro 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

Pro 24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

Pro 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

Pro 24:24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

Pro 24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

Pro 24:26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

Pro 24:27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

Pro 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

Pro 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Pro 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

Pro 24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Pro 24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

Pro 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

Pro 24:34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
