Proverbs 09 01-18 ABV – Wisdom
Wisdom has built her house, she has carved out her 7 pillars;
she has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table;
she has sent out her maidens, she calls from the tops of the heights of the city:
Whoever is simple, let him turn in here! To him who lacks understanding she says,
come, eat of my food and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Forsake foolishness and live, and proceed in the way of understanding.

He who reprove a mocker gets dishonor for himself, and he who reproves a wicked man gets insults.
Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you, reprove a wise man and he will love you.
Give to a wise man and he will be yet wiser, teach a righteous man and he will increase learning.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you mock, you alone will bear it.

A foolish woman is loud, she is simple and knows nothing.
She sits at the doorway of her house, on a seat by the high places of the city,
calling to those who pass by, who go right on their paths:
Whoever is simple, let him turn in here, and to him who lacks understanding she says,
Stolen water is sweet; and bread in secret is pleasant.
yet he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

Proverbs 08 01-36 ABV – Excellence
Does not wisdom call, and understanding lift up her voice?
She takes her stand, on top of the heights beside the way, where the paths meet;
beside the gates, at the opening to the city, at the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
To you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
O simple ones, understand prudence; and, O fools, understand wisdom!
Listen, for I will speak noble things; and the opening of my lips teach right things.
For my mouth will speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips!
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing deceptive or perverted in them.
They are all straightforward to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.
Receive my instruction and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than jewels; and all desirable things are not to be compared with it.

I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverted mouth, I hate.
Counsel and sound wisdom is mine; I am understanding, power is mine.
By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.
By me princes rule, and nobles, all who judge righteously.
I love those who love me; and those who seek me early will find me.
Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold, and my revenue better than choice silver.
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice,
giving wealth as an inheritance to those who love me, and filling their treasuries.

The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His older works.
I was established from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth began.
I was brought forth when there were no depths, when there were no springs abounding with water;
before the mountains were settled, before the hills I was brought forth;
while He had not yet made the earth and the fields, nor the first dust of the world.
When He established the heavens, I was there, when He inscribed a circle on the face of the depth;
when He placed the skies above, when He strengthened the springs of the deep,
when He set for the sea its boundary so that the water would not pass His command, when He laid out the foundations of the earth;
then I was beside Him, as a skilled workman; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him;
rejoicing in His habitable part of his earth, and having my delight in the sons of men.

Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, for blessed are they who keep my ways!
Hear instruction and be wise, and do not avoid it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting by the posts of my doors.
For he who finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord,
yet he who sins against me harms himself; all those who hate me love death.

Proverbs 07 01-27 ABV – Adultery
My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you.
Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call understanding your intimate friend;
That they may keep you from an adulteress, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.

For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice,
and I saw among the simple ones, and discerned among the youths, a young man lacking sense,
passing through the street near her corner; and he takes the way to her house,
in the twilight, in the evening, in the dark of the night.
And behold, a woman comes to meet him, dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.
She is loud and stubborn, her feet do not remain at home;
she is now in the streets, now in the squares, and lurks by every corner.
So she seizes him and kisses him and with a brazen face she says to him:
I was due to offer peace offerings; today I have paid my vows.
Therefore I come out to meet you, to earnestly seek your face, and I have found you.
I have spread my couch with coverings, with colored linens of Egypt.
I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; let us delight ourselves with caresses!
For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey;
he has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the full moon.
With her many persuasions she entices him; with her flattering lips she seduces him.
Suddenly he follows her as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool in a trap for the restraint,
until an arrow pierces through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, and does not know that it will cost his life.

Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth.
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths.
For she has cast down many victims, and many have been slain by her.
Her house is the way to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 06 01-35 ABV – Foolishness
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given a pledge for a stranger,
if you have been snared with the words of your mouth, have been caught with the words of your mouth,
do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise,
which, having no guide, overseer or ruler,
prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest.
How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest.
Your poverty will come in like a robber, and your need like an armed man.

A worthless person, a wicked man, is the one who walks with a perverse mouth;
who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who points with his fingers;
who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, who spreads strife.
Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; he will be broken instantly and without remedy.

There are 6 things which the Lord hates, yes, 7 which are an abomination to Him:
arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil,
a false witness who utters lies, and one who stirs up strife among brothers.

My son, observe the commandment of your father and do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
bind them continually on your heart; tie them around your neck.
When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will talk to you.
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; and reproofs for discipline are the way of life;
to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery tongue of the adulteress.
Do not desire her beauty in your heart, nor let her captivate you with her eyelids.
For on account of a whore, one is reduced to a loaf of bread, yet an adulteress hunts for the precious life.
Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
Or can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whoever touches her will not go unpunished.
A thief is not despised when he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;
yet when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; he must give all the substance of his house.
The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who does it would destroy himself;
he will find wounds and disgrace, and his reproach will not be wiped out.
For jealousy enrages a man, and he will not show mercy in the day of vengeance;
he will not accept any ransom, nor will he be persuaded though you give many gifts.
