1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling brawling woman in a wide house.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
