Proverbs 31   King James Version (KJV) 31  The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 2  What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 3  Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4  It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5  Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. 6  Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7  Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. 8  Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 9  Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. 10  Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11  The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12  She

Proverbs 30   King James Version (KJV) 30  The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, 2  Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. 3  I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. 4  Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? 5  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 7  Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: 8  Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9  Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the  Lord ? or lest I be poor, and

Proverbs 29   King James Version (KJV) 29  He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2  When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 3  Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. 4  The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 5  A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. 6  In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 7  The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. 8  Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. 9  If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 10  The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. 11  A fool uttereth all

Proverbs 28   King James Version (KJV) 28  The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2  For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 3  A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 4  They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 5  Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the  Lord understand all things. 6  Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 7  Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 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. 10  Whoso causeth the righ

Proverbs 27   King James Version (KJV) 27  Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 2  Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. 3  A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. 4  Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? 5  Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6  Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 7  The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. 8  As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. 9  Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. 10  Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a
