(Excerpts)

Proverbs 7

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

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

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

Proverbs 8

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

32 Now therefore hearken unto ME, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep MY ways.

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

34 Blessed is the man that heareth ME, watching daily at MY gates, waiting at the posts of MY doors.

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

36 But he that sinneth against ME wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate ME love death.

Proverbs 9

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

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

Proverbs 10

19  In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
