Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Wine [is] a scorner -- strong drink [is] noisy, And any going astray in it is not wise.
2 The fear of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, He who is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul.
3 An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool intermeddleth.
4 Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in harvest, and there is nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of a man [is] deep water, And a man of understanding draweth it up.
6 A multitude of men proclaim each his kindness, And a man of stedfastness who doth find?
7 The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!
8 A king sitting on a throne of judgment, Is scattering with his eyes all evil,
9 Who saith, `I have purified my heart, I have been cleansed from my sin?'
10 A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them [are] an abomination to Jehovah.
11 Even by his actions a youth maketh himself known, Whether his work be pure or upright.
12 A hearing ear, and a seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou become poor, Open thine eyes -- be satisfied [with] bread.
14 `Bad, bad,' saith the buyer, And going his way then he boasteth himself.
15 Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, [are] lips of knowledge.
16 Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.
17 Sweet to a man [is] the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled [with] gravel.
18 Purposes by counsel thou dost establish, And with plans make thou war.
19 A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver [with] his lips make not thyself surety.
20 Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.
21 An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter end is not blessed.
22 Do not say, `I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.
23 An abomination to Jehovah [are] a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit [are] not good.
24 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, And man -- how understandeth he his way?
25 A snare to a man [is] he hath swallowed a holy thing, And after vows to make inquiry.
26 A wise king is scattering the wicked, And turneth back on them the wheel.
27 The breath of man [is] a lamp of Jehovah, Searching all the inner parts of the heart.
28 Kindness and truth keep a king, And he hath supported by kindness his throne.
29 The beauty of young men is their strength, And the honour of old men is grey hairs.
30 The bandages of a wound thou removest with the evil, Also the plagues of the inner parts of the heart!

Proverbs 21:1-31
The king’s heart in God's hand is like streams of water — God directs it anywhere He wishes.
All a person’s ways are right in his own view, but God denotes the real intentions.
To do what is right and just is more pleasing to God than offerings.
Snobbish looks, an arrogant heart — what the wicked cultivate is sin.
The plans of the conscientious lead only to abundance; but all who wait to the last minute arrive short.
A fortune gained by lying is but a vapor dispersed by those chasing death.
The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to act righteously.
A criminal’s behavior is warped, but the work of the pure is right on.
It is better to live on a roof than to share the house with a nagging wife.
The wicked is bent on doing evil; he doesn’t show pity for a neighbor.
When a contemptuous are punished, the simple become wiser; and when the wise are instructed, they apply what they learn.
The Righteous One notes the house of the wicked; He overthrows them to their ruin.
Whoever closes his ears at the pleading of the poor will himself plead, but receive no response.
A secret gift reduces anger, but an underhanded bribe instills fury.
Acting justly is enjoyable for the righteous but drives evildoers crazy.
The person who strays from common sense will come to rest among dead.
Pleasure-lovers will suffer need; he who lives for drink and indulgence won’t get rich.
The wicked serve as a payoff for the righteous, and likewise the decietful for the upright.
It is better to live in the alone in a wilderness than with a nagging, irritated wife.
In the home of the wise are fine treasures and oils, but a fool wastes it all...
He who seeks righteousness and kindness finds life, prosperity and respect.
A wise man can go enter a city of warriors and undermine the strength in which it trusts.
Whoever is reticent keeps himself out of trouble.
“Scoffer” is what you call a proud, rude person who behaves with overconfident conceit.
A lazy man’s craving will destroy him, because he refuses to work — he craves greedily all day long; but a righteous person gives without slacking.
The offering of the wicked is an abomination --- even worse when brought with fouk motives.
A lying witness makes mistakes, but the one knows the truth will testify successfully.
A wicked man puts on a show, whereas the upright makes plans.
No wisdom, discernment or counsel can outdo God.
Equipment may be prepared for the day battle, but the victory comes from God.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Rivulets of waters [is] the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.
2 Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering hearts.
3 To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.
4 Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the wicked [is] sin.
5 The purposes of the diligent [are] only to advantage, And of every hasty one, only to want.
6 The making of treasures by a lying tongue, [Is] a vanity driven away of those seeking death.
7 The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have refused to do judgment.
8 Froward [is] the way of a man who is vile, And the pure -- upright [is] his work.
9 Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions and a house of company.
10 The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in his eyes is his neighbour.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise, And in giving understanding to the wise He receiveth knowledge.
12 The Righteous One is acting wisely Towards the house of the wicked, He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness.
13 Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger, And a bribe in the bosom strong fury.
15 To do justice [is] joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.
16 A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.
17 Whoso [is] loving mirth [is] a poor man, Whoso is loving wine and oil maketh no wealth.
18 The wicked [is] an atonement for the righteous, And for the upright the treacherous dealer.
19 Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than [with] a woman of contentions and anger.
20 A treasure to be desired, and oil, [Is] in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21 Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22 A city of the mighty hath the wise gone up, And bringeth down the strength of its confidence.
23 Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from adversities his soul.
24 Proud, haughty, scorner [is] his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.
25 The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have refused to work.
26 All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination, Much more when in wickedness he bringeth it.
28 A false witness doth perish, And an attentive man for ever speaketh.
29 A wicked man hath hardened by his face, And the upright -- he prepareth his way.
30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.
31 A horse is prepared for a day of battle, And the deliverance [is] of Jehovah!

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 22:1-29
Rather than wealth, choose a good reputation, esteem refinement over silver and gold.
Rich and poor have this in common --- God Created both.
The clever see trouble on the way and hide; the simple go on and suffer the consequences.
The reward for humility is a regard of God, along with wealth, honor and life.
Thorns and snares surround the way of the stubborn; he who values his life keeps such at bay.
Instruct a child regarding the attributes that he should nurture; and, even when old, he will still regard it.
The rich manipulate the poor, and the borrower is enslaved to the lender.
He who plants injustice reaps unrest, and the whip of his anger will be insufficient.
He who is generous is blessed, because he shares his provisions with the poor.
Throw the mocker out, and arguments end also; strife and insults cease.
He who appreciates the pure in heart and is polite in speech will have leaders as friends.
The eyes of God protect those with knowledge, but He ruins the plans of a traitor.
A lazy man says, “It's dangerous out there. I’ll get killed if I go out!”
The mouth of an adulteress is a deep trap; the man with whom God is angry will be so entrapped.
Doing what is wrong is firmly connected with childhood, but the rod of discipline will nip it in the bud.
Both abusing the poor to reward oneself and bribing the rich yield only loss.
Pay attention, and listen to wise instruction ---- apply your heart to what I know; for it is nice to keep this handy; have all of them ready to apply.
Trust in God --- this is what Is being expressed here.
I have written you important things full of good counsel and knowledge, so you will realize that these sayings are true.
Don’t exploit the helpless, because they are helpless, and don’t ruin the poor in court, for God will plead their case for them and ruin the life of who would treat them fraudulently.
Don’t associate with an angry hot-tempered man nor hang around such.
If you do, you may learn his ways
and find yourself caught in a trap.
Don’t be one of those who give pledges, guaranteeing loans made to others; for if you don’t have the ability to pay, they will take your creature comforts right out from under you.
Don’t move long held markers set up by your ancestors.
Do you see a highly skilled individual work? He will serve the well known, not obscure individuals.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold -- good grace.
2 Rich and poor have met together, The Maker of them all [is] Jehovah.
3 The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.
4 The end of humility [is] the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and honour, and life.
5 Thorns -- snares [are] in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.
6 Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.
7 The rich over the poor ruleth, And a servant [is] the borrower to the lender.
8 Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.
9 The good of eye -- he is blessed, For he hath given of his bread to the poor.
10 Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.
11 Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace [are] his lips, a king [is] his friend.
12 The eyes of Jehovah have kept knowledge, And He overthroweth the words of the treacherous.
13 The slothful hath said, `A lion [is] without, In the midst of the broad places I am slain.'
14 A deep pit [is] the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of chastisement putteth it far from him.
16 He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich -- only to want.
17 Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy heart set to my knowledge,
18 For they are pleasant when thou dost keep them in thy heart, They are prepared together for thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, even thou.
20 Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and knowledge?
21 To cause thee to know the certainty of sayings of truth, To return sayings of truth to those sending thee.
22 Rob not the poor because he [is] poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.
23 For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.
24 Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,
25 Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.
26 Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties [for] burdens.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from under thee?
28 Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have made.
29 Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 23:1-35
When you sit down to dine with leaders, think carefully about who you're with.
If you are a glutton, stifle the urge to over indulge.
Don’t be greedy for his treats, for they are enticements.
Don’t worry yourself in pursuit of wealth --- be smart enough to refrain.
Chase after wealth, you'll find it obscure and fleeting!
Don’t listen to a stingy man; don’t be desirous of his ways...
For he is like someone keeps track of everything — “Enjoy” he says to you, but he doesn’t really mean it.
The little you eat will make you sick, and your compliments will be a waste.
Don’t talk to a fool, for he will only despise any commonsense.
Don’t push aside the ancient boundary stone or take the inheritance of orphans; for their Savior is strong --- He fight against you on their behalf.
Be disciplined and glean knowledge.
Don’t withhold discipline from a child — if you spank him with a switch, he won’t die!
If you spank him you will redirect him from Sh’ol.
My child, if you're is wise, then my own heart is glad.
I rejoice when you say what is right.
Don’t envy sinners, but follow the example of those who always consider God...
Then you will have a future and what you wish will not be lost.
Child: listen, be wise, and set yourself on doing what is right.
Don’t be one of those who guzzle wine or who eats to excess, for both drunkard and glutton will become poor in some way.
Listen to your father, who procreated you; and don’t detest your mom when she gets old.
Acquire truth, wisdom, discipline and discernment. Don’t waste them. A righteous person’s dad will be happy ---- whose son is wise.
So let your father and mother be happy and rejoice.
My child, listen to me; let your eyes observe my example.
A prostitute is a deep pit, and a forbidden woman like a narrow crevice (entrapping).
She lies in wait to entrap her prey adding to the number of cheating men.
Who experiences pain, regret, fights and complains all the time? Who gets hurt for no reason? Who has bloodshot eyes?
It is those who are lushes, and always trying out mixed drinks.
Don’t dwell on the red wine as it looks so inviting. It may glide down smoothly now; but later, it bites like a serpent — strikes like a poisonous snake.
Your eyes will perceive odd things, you'll utter incomprehensible nonsense.
You'll feel unsteady and all topsy-turvy
“They hit me, but I didn’t feel it! They beat me up, and I don't realize it! When will I wake up I want more.”
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,
2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.
3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.
4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,
7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so [is] he, `Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart [is] not with thee.
8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that [are] sweet.
9 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
10 Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,
11 For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.
12 Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.
13 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
14 Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.
15 My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,
16 And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.
17 Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
18 For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
20 Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
21 For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.
22 Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.
23 Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,
24 The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.
25 Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.
26 Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.
27 For a harlot [is] a deep ditch, And a strange woman [is] a strait pit.
28 She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.
29 Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?
30 Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.
31 See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.
32 Its latter end -- as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.
33 Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.
34 And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.
35 `They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake -- I seek it yet again!'
When you sit down to dine with leaders, think carefully about who you're with.
If you are a glutton, stifle the urge to over indulge.
Don’t be greedy for his treats, for they are enticements.
Don’t worry yourself in pursuit of wealth --- be smart enough to refrain.
Chase after wealth, you'll find it obscure and fleeting!
Don’t listen to a stingy man; don’t be desirous of his ways...
For he is like someone keeps track of everything — “Enjoy” he says to you, but he doesn’t really mean it.
The little you eat will make you sick, and your compliments will be a waste.
Don’t talk to a fool, for he will only despise any commonsense.
Don’t push aside the ancient boundary stone or take the inheritance of orphans; for their Savior is strong --- He fight against you on their behalf.
Be disciplined and glean knowledge.
Don’t withhold discipline from a child — if you spank him with a switch, he won’t die!
If you spank him you will redirect him from Sh’ol.
My child, if you're is wise, then my own heart is glad.
I rejoice when you say what is right.
Don’t envy sinners, but follow the example of those who always consider God...
Then you will have a future and what you wish will not be lost.
Child: listen, be wise, and set yourself on doing what is right.
Don’t be one of those who guzzle wine or who eats to excess, for both drunkard and glutton will become poor in some way.
Listen to your father, who procreated you; and don’t detest your mom when she gets old.
Acquire truth, wisdom, discipline and discernment. Don’t waste them. A righteous person’s dad will be happy ---- whose son is wise.
So let your father and mother be happy and rejoice.
My child, listen to me; let your eyes observe my example.
A prostitute is a deep pit, and a forbidden woman like a narrow crevice (entrapping).
She lies in wait to entrap her prey adding to the number of cheating men.
Who experiences pain, regret, fights and complains all the time? Who gets hurt for no reason? Who has bloodshot eyes?
It is those who are lushes, and always trying out mixed drinks.
Don’t dwell on the red wine as it looks so inviting. It may glide down smoothly now; but later, it bites like a serpent — strikes like a poisonous snake.
Your eyes will perceive odd things, you'll utter incomprehensible nonsense.
You'll feel unsteady and all topsy-turvy
“They hit me, but I didn’t feel it! They beat me up, and I don't realize it! When will I wake up I want more.”
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which [is] before thee,
2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.
3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.
4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.
5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,
7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so [is] he, `Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart [is] not with thee.
8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that [are] sweet.
9 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
10 Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,
11 For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.
12 Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.
13 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.
14 Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou deliverest.
15 My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,
16 And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.
17 Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
18 For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way thy heart,
20 Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones of flesh,
21 For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness clotheth with rags.
22 Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.
23 Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,
24 The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.
25 Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.
26 Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.
27 For a harlot [is] a deep ditch, And a strange woman [is] a strait pit.
28 She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.
29 Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?
30 Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out mixed wine.
31 See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.
32 Its latter end -- as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.
33 Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.
34 And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.
35 `They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake -- I seek it yet again!'

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 24:1-34
Don’t envy evil people, and don’t desire hang around them.
For their thoughts are occupied with violence, and they speak of causing mischief.
By wisdom a house is constructed, by understanding it is secured, and by knowledge its rooms are filled with all kinds of costly and lovely possessions.
A wise man is strong and with knowledge grows stronger.
For with decisive strategy wage war, and victory comes from having many advisers.
Wisdom is far above a fool; he keeps silent at the city gate.
He who plans evil people call a schemer.
The evil plans of the foolish are sin, and people hate a scorner.
If you're a slacker on a day of trouble, you're a weenie.
Yes, rescue those being dragged away to their death — won’t you save those about to be killed?
If you say, “We heard nothing concerning it,” won’t GOD know? Yes, He who protects you will know and repay each one as is deserved.
My son, eat honey, for it is good; honeycomb drippings are sweet to the taste.
Know that wisdom is similarly sweet to the soul; if you discover it, you will then have a future, what you hope for will not vaporize.
Don’t lurk like an outlaw near the home of the righteous, don’t raid the place where he lives.
For though he falls multiple times, he will preserver; it’s the wicked who cave under pressure.
Don’t rejoice when your enemy fails; don’t be merry when he stumbles.
For God will see it, and such would displease Him; He might withdraw His anger away from your enemy.
Don’t get upset because of evildoers; don’t envy the wicked.
For the evil person has no future — the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
My child, don’t get involved with revolutionaries, but fear God and king.
For disaster from them will happen suddenly, and who knows what ruin either can cause?
These also are wise says:
Showing partiality in judgment is wrong.
He who tells the guilty that they are innocent,” will be cursed by citizens ---- hated by nations; however, among those who condemn him, things will be well, and a good blessing will come to them.
Giving an honest answer is like a kiss.
Prepare your field, and get things ready the land for planting; after that, build your home.
Don’t witness against your neighbor for no good cause — don't deceive.
Don’t say, “I’ll do to him what he did to me, I’ll get even.”
The field of the lazy man and the vineyard of the fool were overgrown with thistles; the ground was covered with weeds, and its wall was broken down.
I watched, considered, and observed ----------- and learned this lesson:
If I just lie around a bit, rest longer, and fold my hands while I sleep more — poverty will come marching, and scarcity will arrive like a marauding bandit.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Be not envious of evil men, And desire not to be with them.
2 For destruction doth their heart meditate, And perverseness do their lips speak.
3 By wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding it establisheth itself.
4 And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, [With] all precious and pleasant wealth.
5 Mighty [is] the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge is strengthening power,
6 For by plans thou makest for thyself war, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.
7 Wisdom [is] high for a fool, In the gate he openeth not his mouth.
8 Whoso is devising to do evil, Him they call a master of wicked thoughts.
9 The thought of folly [is] sin, And an abomination to man [is] a scorner.
10 Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,
11 If [from] delivering those taken to death, And those slipping to the slaughter -- thou keepest back.
12 When thou sayest, `Lo, we knew not this.' Is not the Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to his work.
13 Eat my son, honey that [is] good, And the honeycomb -- sweet to thy palate.
14 So [is] the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul, If thou hast found that there is a posterity And thy hope is not cut off.
15 Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.
16 For seven [times] doth the righteous fall and rise, And the wicked stumble in evil.
17 In the falling of thine enemy rejoice not, And in his stumbling let not thy heart be joyful,
18 Lest Jehovah see, and [it be] evil in His eyes, And He hath turned from off him His anger.
19 Fret not thyself at evil doers, Be not envious at the wicked,
20 For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
21 Fear Jehovah, my son, and the king, With changers mix not up thyself,
22 For suddenly doth their calamity rise, And the ruin of them both -- who knoweth!
23 These also are for the wise: -- To discern faces in judgment is not good.
24 Whoso is saying to the wicked, `Thou [art] righteous,' Peoples execrate him -- nations abhor him.
25 And to those reproving it is pleasant, And on them cometh a good blessing.
26 Lips he kisseth who is returning straightforward words.
27 Prepare in an out-place thy work, And make it ready in the field -- go afterwards, Then thou hast built thy house.
28 Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou hast enticed with thy lips.
29 Say not, `As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to each according to his work.'
30 Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the vineyard of a man lacking heart.
31 And lo, it hath gone up -- all of it -- thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down.
32 And I see -- I -- I do set my heart, I have seen -- I have received instruction,
33 A little sleep -- a little slumber -- A little folding of the hands to lie down.
34 And thy poverty hath come [as] a traveller, And thy want as an armed man!

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 25:1-28 These too are proverbs of Solomon that the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.
God gains glory by hiding things; kings get glory from investigation.
To the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so is the heart of kings — unfathomable.
Remove impurities from the silver, and the smith gains something to make a vessel.
Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be on a firm foundation of righteousness.
Don’t seek to place yourself among kings; don’t be seated among the great.
For it is better to be told, “Come on up,” than be degraded in the presence of the noble.
What you have witnessed something, don’t rush to stir up trouble. For what will you do later on, if your neighbor says your wrong?
Discuss your dispute with your neighbor, but don’t spread gossip.
If you do, and he hears of it, he will disgrace you, and a bad reputation will stick.
Like apples of gold on trays of silver is a word appropriately spoken.
Like a gold earring or a fine gold necklace is a wise gentle disapproval to a receptive ear.
Like the coldness of snow during sweating work is a faithful messenger to the one who sends him; he delights his master’s spirit.
Like clouds and wind that bring no rain is he who boasts of gifts he never brings.
With patience a ruler may be influenced, and a gentle tongue can break barriers.
If you find honey, eat only what is needed; for if you eat too much of it, you may vomit; so don’t visit your neighbor too much, or he may get his fill of you and dread your visits.
Like a weapon is a person who gives false testimony against a neighbor.
Relying on an untrustworthy person in a time of trouble is like depending a broken tooth or a bum leg.
Like removing clothes on a chilly day or like vinegar on soda is someone who sings trite songs to a heavy heart.
If someone who hates you needs nourishment, give him food to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
For you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head, and God will reward you.
The north wind brings rain and a backbiting tongue, disgusted looks.
It is better to live on the edge of the roof than to share the house with a nagging wife.
Like refreshing water to a person dying of thirst is good news from far away.
Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who bows to the wicked.
It isn’t good to eat too much honey or to seek honor after honor.
Like a city without walls is invaded, is a person who lacks self-control.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
2 The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings -- [are] unsearchable.
4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
7 For better [that] he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than [that] he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken at its fit times.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee.
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, [Is] the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
20 Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, [Is as] vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
21 If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.
22 For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.
23 A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue -- indignant faces.
24 Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions, and a house of company.
25 [As] cold waters for a weary soul, So [is] a good report from a far country.
26 A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, [Is] the righteous falling before the wicked.
27 The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one's own honour -- honour.
28 A city broken down without walls, [Is] a man without restraint over his spirit!

Re: Bible verse by verse
Sleepy yawn... stretching my arms out.
Honestly, everyone here has their own copy of the the Bible. Do yourself (and the rest of us) a favor and give it a break. God will forgive you.
Posting the entire Bible here will not get you into Heaven any quicker. I suggest that you spend your excess time helping the poor and needy instead of wasting it on this board. I'm sure that God will give you extra credit for that.

This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 25:1-28 These too are proverbs of Solomon that the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.
God gains glory by hiding things; kings get glory from investigation.
To the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so is the heart of kings — unfathomable.
Remove impurities from the silver, and the smith gains something to make a vessel.
Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be on a firm foundation of righteousness.
Don’t seek to place yourself among kings; don’t be seated among the great.
For it is better to be told, “Come on up,” than be degraded in the presence of the noble.
What you have witnessed something, don’t rush to stir up trouble. For what will you do later on, if your neighbor says your wrong?
Discuss your dispute with your neighbor, but don’t spread gossip.
If you do, and he hears of it, he will disgrace you, and a bad reputation will stick.
Like apples of gold on trays of silver is a word appropriately spoken.
Like a gold earring or a fine gold necklace is a wise gentle disapproval to a receptive ear.
Like the coldness of snow during sweating work is a faithful messenger to the one who sends him; he delights his master’s spirit.
Like clouds and wind that bring no rain is he who boasts of gifts he never brings.
With patience a ruler may be influenced, and a gentle tongue can break barriers.
If you find honey, eat only what is needed; for if you eat too much of it, you may vomit; so don’t visit your neighbor too much, or he may get his fill of you and dread your visits.
Like a weapon is a person who gives false testimony against a neighbor.
Relying on an untrustworthy person in a time of trouble is like depending a broken tooth or a bum leg.
Like removing clothes on a chilly day or like vinegar on soda is someone who sings trite songs to a heavy heart.
If someone who hates you needs nourishment, give him food to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
For you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head, and God will reward you.
The north wind brings rain and a backbiting tongue, disgusted looks.
It is better to live on the edge of the roof than to share the house with a nagging wife.
Like refreshing water to a person dying of thirst is good news from far away.
Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who bows to the wicked.
It isn’t good to eat too much honey or to seek honor after honor.
Like a city without walls is invaded, is a person who lacks self-control.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
2 The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings -- [are] unsearchable.
4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
7 For better [that] he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than [that] he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken at its fit times.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee.
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, [Is] the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
20 Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, [Is as] vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.
21 If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.
22 For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.
23 A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue -- indignant faces.
24 Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than [with] a woman of contentions, and a house of company.
25 [As] cold waters for a weary soul, So [is] a good report from a far country.
26 A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, [Is] the righteous falling before the wicked.
27 The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one's own honour -- honour.
28 A city broken down without walls, [Is] a man without restraint over his spirit!
