Proverbs 12:1-28
Those loving direction, love knowledge, And those hating a reprimand are ignorant.
The good bring favor from the Lord, And the man of wicked devices He condemns.
A man is not established through wickedness. And the foundation of the righteous is not moved.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, And a shameful wife is like bone cancer to her husband.
The ideas of the righteous are honest, The counsel of the wicked -- deceit.
The words of the wicked spill blood,' And the mouth of the upright delivers them.
Depose the wicked, and they scatter. And the house of the righteous remains.
In accordance with his wisdom is a man praised. The perverted of heart is soon despised.
Better to be average and having a servant, than the prideful who lacks food.
The righteous understands his animals, but the wicked attempting to be merciful are cruel.
Those tilling the ground are satisfied with produce, but those pursuing vanities lack heart,
The wicked desires what evil captures. The root of righteousness is generosity.
The slip of the tongue is a snare of the wicked, but the righteous move on from distress.
By kind words is one satisfied, and the deeds of man's hands return to him.
The behavior of a fool is ok in his own eyes, but those who listen to counsel are wise.
The fool -- in a day is his anger is exposed, but the prudent conceals shame.
Those who are faithfulness promote righteousness, but a false witness spreads deceit.
A reckless speaker is like multiple stab wounds. The tongue of the wise is healing.
Truth is established for ever, but falsehood quickly passes.
Deceit is in the heart of those scheming. And in those counseling with peace is joy.
Iniquity is not desired by the righteous. And the wicked are filled with evil.
The liar is an abomination to the Lord. And the devoted the Lord find delightful.
A prudent man conceals some knowledge. The heart of fools proclaim their folly.
The diligent rule, while the slothful pay tribute.
Sorrow causes a man to be downcast. And a good word brings him happiness.
The righteous seeks companionship. The behavior of the wicked cause them to make mistakes .
The lazy waste what they hunted for. And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.
The path of righteousness is life, And there is no death in that path!
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

11 Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
12 The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.

14 From the fruit of the mouth [is] one satisfied [with] good, And the deed of man's hands returneth to him.

Not really. The point of the verse has nothing to do with what the husband took or didn't take. The point is that she is his wife ---- whether he is out of town and took his bag of gold or his credit cards.
I know the intent of the verse. But a translation isn't a translation if you get to insert your own words willy-nilly.
What I type is how I see the intent of the passage and that is what I'm sharing.
Wait, . . . you're not copying-and-pasting from some translation somewhere, you're providing your very own "translation?"
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

I'm basically considering what the Bible says to me. I must admit that I have been both Sunday schooled and attended a Fundamentalist Bible believing college. I've read various translations of the Bible and ponder with the help of the Holy Spirit what God has revealed. However, while presenting YOUNG's LITERAL TRANSLATION. I have been attempting to evaluate what the Bible states. If anyone disagrees with my paraphrasing, anyone is free to interject, as I have stated various times during this process.
It is my intension to reveal that the Bible is very explicit and not at all corrupted or distorted as some have proposed or believe it to be. AND it is a very good thing for everyone to read the Bible, no matter how long that process may take... Those that disagree with the Bible, may find that what they heard is not substantiated by what it actually says.

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 14:1-35
Wise women contribute to establishing a home, while foolish women disrupt theirs through their own power.
Those who walk in righteousness show regard for God --- but to live in sin is to despise Him.
A rebel’s foolish talk assaults those listening --- but the wise man’s words are respected.
An empty stable stays clean—but there is more income with oxen..
A truthful witness doesn't lie; a false witness lives to lie.
A mocker doesn't find the wisdom he claims to be seeking, yet it comes easily to the man with smarts.
When seeking advice, stay away from fools or you will not hear what's right.
The wise man considers the future. The fool wraps himself in lies.
The common bond of rebels is a lack of remorse. The common bond of godly people is a desire for soul searching.
Only the doer can comprehend his own bitterness or joy—no one else can totally fathom it.
The palace of the wicked will perish; while the modest home of the godly will thrive.
Before every man there lies a direction that appears OK but eventually brings death.
Laughter cannot mask an injured soul. When the guffaw ends --- sorrow remains.
The backslider bores himself; the godly man’s life is full.
Only a simpleton believes everything! A prudent man comprehends a need for proof.
A wise man is cautious and avoids danger; a fool makes mistakes with great confidence.
A short fuse makes a fool. One with evil plans is not liked.
The simpleton is crowned with folly, but the wise man --- knowledge.
Evil men shall bow before the godly, and the wicked before the righteous
Even neighbors shun the poor, while the rich have many “friends.” But to despise the poor is sin. Blessed are those who offer assistance.
Those who plot evil are wrong, but those who plan good shall be granted mercy and enlightenment.
Work brings profit; endless discussion poverty!
Wise men are exulted for their wisdom; fools are ignored for their folly.
A witness who tells the truth saves good men from being sentenced, but a false witness is a waste.
Consideration for God provides a man with inner strength; his children have a place of refuge and safety.
Consideration of the Lord is a fountain of life; its waters keep a man from destruction.
A thriving population makes a king content; a dwindling nation is his undoing.
A wise man holds his temper. He knows that anger causes errors.
A relaxed attitude lengthens a man’s life; jealousy rots it away.
Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God his Creator. To help the poor brings honor to God.
The godly will see safety when they die, but the wicked are consumed by their sins.
Wisdom is worships in the hearts of men of common sense, but it must shout loudly before fools will pay attention.
Godliness exalts a nation, and goodness is a sin offering
A king is happy with servants who know what they are doing; he is angry with those who cause aggravation.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down.
2 Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And the perverted [in] his ways is despising Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool [is] a rod of pride, And the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 Without oxen a stall [is] clean, And great [is] the increase by the power of the ox.

13 Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction.
14 From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man -- from his fruits.
15 The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.
16 The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.
17 Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned [with] knowledge.
19 The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving the rich [are] many.
21 Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.
22 Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth [are] to those devising good,
23 In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips [is] only to want.
24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools [is] folly.

26 In the fear of Jehovah [is] strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge.
27 The fear of Jehovah [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.

2 The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 17:1-28
Better stale crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, and aggravation.
A prudent servant will lord over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance as a family member.
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord refines the heart.
A wicked person listens to lying lips; a liar pays attention to a destructive advice.
Whoever make light of the poor shows hatred towards their Maker; whoever gloats about disaster will not go unscathed.
Grandkids are a crown to the aged, and dads are the pride of their sons.
Eloquent lips are unlikely with a godless fool— much worse are lying lips to a ruler!
A bribe is seen as a charm by the one providing it; they think success will be the result.
Whoever would foster love keeps a mistake secret, but whoever repeats the matter ruins friendships.
Correction impresses a discerning person more than a hundred lashes impresses fool.
Evildoers instigate rebellion against God; the angel of death will be sent against such.
Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool intent on mischief.
Evil will never exit the house of one who repays evil for good.
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the issue before a dispute errupts.
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord considers both an obscenity.
Why should fools have money in hand to gain wisdom, when they are not able to comprehend it?
A friend always loves, and a brother is born for trying times.
One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge, but puts up security with a friend present.
Whoever loves a quarrel enjoys sin; whoever builds a high gate makes entrance easier during an attack.
One whose heart is corrupt does not mature; one whose tongue is perverse gets into trouble.
To have a fool for a child brings heartache; there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit make one old.
The wicked accept bribes in secret to subvert the course of justice.
A discerning person keeps wisdom in focus, but a fool’s eyes wander everywhere.
A foolish son brings grief to his dad and bitterness to the one who bore him.
If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good, surely to flog honest officials is not right.
The one who has knowledge is reticent, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Even fools are thought to be smart if they keep their mouths shut, and understanding if they just listen.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Better [is] a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.
2 A wise servant ruleth over a son causing shame, And in the midst of brethren He apportioneth an inheritance.
3 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts [is] Jehovah.
4 An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker, Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.
6 Sons' sons [are] the crown of old men, And the glory of sons [are] their fathers.
7 Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for a noble a lip of falsehood.
8 A stone of grace [is] the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.
10 Rebuke cometh down on the intelligent More than a hundred stripes on a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.
12 The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And -- not a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso is returning evil for good, Evil moveth not from his house.
14 The beginning of contention [is] a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.
15 Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these [are] an abomination to Jehovah.
16 Why [is] this -- a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?
17 At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.
18 A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.
19 Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is making high his entrance is seeking destruction.
20 The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
21 Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.
22 A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.
23 A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
24 The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool -- at the end of the earth.
25 A provocation to his father [is] a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.
27 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding.
28 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 18:1-24
A antagonist pursues selfish ends and against all logic incites quarrels.
Fools find no pleasure in comprehending but love to hear themselves talk.
Along with wickedness comes contempt, and with sin comes disappointment.
The words of the mouth extend deep into a man's heart, but the fountain of wisdom flows freely.
It is not good to favor the wicked and so deprive the innocent victim of justice.
The lips of fools bring them conflict, and their mouths invite punishment.
The mouths of fools are their overthrow, and their lips are a trap to their very lives.
The words of a gossip are like select delicacies; they penetrate to the inmost parts.
One who is lazy is akin to one who destroys.
The name of the Lord is a protective sanctuary; the righteous run to it and are saved.
The wealth of the rich is their security; they imagine it a wall too high to breach.
Before a downfall the heart is conceited, but humility comes ahead of distinction.
To answer before listening— lacks sense and brings shame.
The human spirit can handle sickness, but a crushed spirit who can survive?
The heart of the discerning gathers knowledge, for the ears of the wise are attuned .
A present opens the door and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.
In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until the cross-examination.
Casting the dice settles disputes and keeps strong opponents away from each other
A brother wronged is more tenacious than a secured city; disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
From the produce of his mouth a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
The tongue has the power of both life and death, and those who take care of it will eat its fruit.
The man who finds a wife finds what is correct and receives the Lord's approval.
The poor beg for mercy, but the rich are harsh.
One who has fair weather friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a real friend who hangs closer than a sibling.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

24 A man with friends [is] to show himself friendly, And there is a lover adhering more than a brother!
A antagonist pursues selfish ends and against all logic incites quarrels.
Fools find no pleasure in comprehending but love to hear themselves talk.

Re: Bible verse by verse
Proverbs 19:1-29
Better the poor whose ways are faultless, than a fool whose words are awkward.
Desire without understanding is not good — the abrupt will miss the mark!
A person’s own stupidity leads to their ruin, yet their heart blames the Lord.
Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person ignore them.
A false witness will not be unpunished, and whoever spouts lies will not remain free.
Many desire favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of a gift giver.
The poor are forgotten by all their relatives --- so much more do their friends avoid them! When the poor seek them they hide.
The one who gains wisdom enjoys life; the one who enjoys learning will soon prosper.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever spouts lies will die.
It is not fitting for a fool to live like a king— how much worse for a servant to rule the manor!
A person’s wisdom fosters patience; it is to one’s honor to forgive an offense.
A king’s rage creates an uproar, but his favor is refreshing.
A foolish child is a father’s undoing, and a quarrelsome wife is an annoyance.
Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a sensible wife is a gift from GOD.
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the lackadaisical go hungry.
Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward such.
Discipline your children, for that brings some hope; Ignore their indiscretions and you contribute to their death.
A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will do it over and over...
Listen to advice and accept discipline, and in the end you will be counted among the wise. A person’s heart hold many plans, but the Lord’s intent prevails.
What people want is kindness; better to be poor than a liar/cheat.
The regard of the Lord promotes life; then one rests content, unworried concerning trouble.
A lazy person has no care of manners. they just feed their face.
Flog a mocker, and the simple will become cautious; scold the shrewd, and they will gain knowledge.
Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
Close your ears to instruction, my child, and you will stray from knowledge.
A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows evil.
Penalties are prepared for mockers, and whippings for the backs of fools.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse [in] his lips, who [is] a fool.
2 Also, without knowledge the soul [is] not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.
3 The folly of man perverteth his way, And against Jehovah is his heart wroth.
4 Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.
5 A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.
6 Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words -- they are not!
8 Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping understanding to find good.
9 A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.
10 Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule among princes.
11 The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory [is] to pass over transgression.
12 The wrath of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.
13 A calamity to his father [is] a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
14 House and wealth [are] the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah [is] an understanding wife.
15 Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.
16 Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.
17 Whoso is lending [to] Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.
18 Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
19 A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.
20 Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.
21 Many [are] the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.
22 The desirableness of a man [is] his kindness, And better [is] the poor than a liar.
23 The fear of Jehovah [is] to life, And satisfied he remaineth -- he is not charged with evil.
24 The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.
25 A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.
26 Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.
27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction -- To err from sayings of knowledge.
28 A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.
29 Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for the back of fools!
