Proverbs 1 - 9 Wisdom For Young Men &
Women. Wisdom & Righteousness Can Be Learned At Any Age.
Dangerous
Promises 1 My son, if you become [a]surety for
your friend, If
you have [b]shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
2 You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words
of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the
hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend.
4 Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And like
a bird from the hand of the [c]fowler.
The Folly of Indolence
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no [d]captain, Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her [e]supplies in the summer, And gathers her
food in the harvest.
9 How long will you [f]slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from
your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to
sleep—
11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like
an armed man.
The Wicked Man
12 A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse
mouth;
13 He winks with his eyes, He [g]shuffles his feet, He points with his
fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows
discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be
broken without remedy.
16 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an
abomination to [h]Him:
17 A[i] proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to
evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among
brethren.
Beware of Adultery
20 My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the
law of your mother.
21 Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
22 When you roam, [j]they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep
you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of
instruction are the way of life,
24 To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a
seductress.
25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you
with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And
[k]an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
27 Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her
shall not be innocent.
30 People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy
himself when he is starving.
31 Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give
up all the substance of his house.
32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who
does so destroys his own soul.
33 Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped
away.
34 For jealousy is a husband’s fury; Therefore he will not spare in the
day of vengeance.
35 He will [l]accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you
give many gifts.
