<p>1 &#8211; Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:<br />
2 &#8211;  She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished  her table.<br />
3 &#8211; She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest  places of the city,<br />
4 &#8211; Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: [as for]  him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,<br />
5 &#8211; Come, eat of my bread,  and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled.<br />
6 &#8211; Forsake the foolish, and  live; and go in the way of understanding.<br />
7 &#8211; He that reproveth a scorner  getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a  blot.<br />
8 &#8211; Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and  he will love thee.<br />
9 &#8211; Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be  yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.<br />
10 &#8211; The  fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy  [is] understanding.<br />
11 &#8211; For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the  years of thy life shall be increased.<br />
12 &#8211; If thou be wise, thou shalt be  wise for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear [it].<br />
13 &#8211; A  foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing.<br />
14 &#8211; For  she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,<br />
15 &#8211; To call passengers who go right on their ways:<br />
16 &#8211; Whoso [is]  simple, let him turn in hither: and [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she  saith to him,<br />
17 &#8211; Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is  pleasant.<br />
18 &#8211; But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] her  guests [are] in the depths of hell.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em; color: #333333;">Proverbs 9</p>
<p><strong>1</strong> Wisdom has built her house;<br />
she has carved its seven  columns.<br />
<strong>2</strong> She has prepared a great banquet,<br />
mixed the  wines, and set the table.<br />
<strong>3</strong> She has sent her servants to  invite everyone to come.<br />
She calls out from the heights overlooking the  city.<br />
<strong>4</strong> &#8220;Come in with me,&#8221; she urges the simple.<br />
To  those who lack good judgment, she says,<br />
<strong>5</strong> &#8220;Come, eat my  food,<br />
and drink the wine I have mixed.<br />
<strong>6</strong> Leave your  simple ways behind, and begin to live;<br />
learn to use good  judgment.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>7</strong> Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an  insult in return.<br />
Anyone who corrects the wicked will get  hurt.<br />
<strong>8</strong> So don&#8217;t bother correcting mockers;<br />
they will  only hate you.<br />
But correct the wise,<br />
and they will love  you.<br />
<strong>9</strong> Instruct the wise,<br />
and they will be even  wiser.<br />
Teach the righteous,<br />
and they will learn even  more.</p>
<p><strong>10</strong> Fear of the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> is  the foundation of wisdom.<br />
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good  judgment.</p>
<p><strong>11</strong> Wisdom will multiply your days<br />
and add  years to your life.<br />
<strong>12</strong> If you become wise, you will be the  one to benefit.<br />
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to  suffer.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em; text-transform: uppercase;">Folly  Calls for a Hearing</span><br />
<strong>13</strong> The woman named Folly  is brash.<br />
She is ignorant and doesn&#8217;t know it.<br />
<strong>14</strong> She  sits in her doorway<br />
on the heights overlooking the  city.<br />
<strong>15</strong> She calls out to men going by<br />
who are minding  their own business.<br />
<strong>16</strong> &#8220;Come in with me,&#8221; she urges the  simple.<br />
To those who lack good judgment, she  says,<br />
<strong>17</strong> &#8220;Stolen water is refreshing;<br />
food eaten in  secret tastes the best!&#8221;<br />
<strong>18</strong> But little do they know that the  dead are there.<br />
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.*</p>

<p><em>Proverb 8 is from Bible-History (first entry) and New Living Translation (second)  There are literally hundreds of translations for the words written about 2900 years ago &#8230; AND it is assumed at least several of the proverbs were *borrowed* and edited from other teachers(?) &#8230; any way &#8230; wise words are wise words no matter the source <img src='http://todayido.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' title="Proverb 8" />   We CAN all get along &#8230; when we realize this &#8230; ah man, what a wonderful world this (is) will be.</em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Proverbs 8 </strong></span></p>
<p>1 &#8211; Doth not wisdom cry? and  understanding put forth her voice?<br />
2 &#8211; She standeth in the top of high  places, by the way in the places of the paths.<br />
3 &#8211; She crieth at the gates,  at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.<br />
4 &#8211; Unto you, O  men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.<br />
5 &#8211; O ye simple,  understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.<br />
6 &#8211; Hear;  for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be]  right things.<br />
7 &#8211; For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an  abomination to my lips.<br />
8 &#8211; All the words of my mouth [are] in  righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.<br />
9 &#8211; They  [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find  knowledge.<br />
10 &#8211; Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather  than choice gold.<br />
11 &#8211; For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the  things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.<br />
12 &#8211; I wisdom dwell  with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.<br />
13 &#8211; The fear of  the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the  froward mouth, do I hate.<br />
14 &#8211; Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am]  understanding; I have strength.<br />
15 &#8211; By me kings reign, and princes decree  justice.<br />
16 &#8211; By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the  earth.<br />
17 &#8211; I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall  find me.<br />
18 &#8211; Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and  righteousness.<br />
19 &#8211; My fruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and  my revenue than choice silver.<br />
20 &#8211; I lead in the way of righteousness, in  the midst of the paths of judgment:<br />
21 &#8211; That I may cause those that love me  to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.<br />
22 &#8211; The LORD  possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.<br />
23 &#8211; I  was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.<br />
24 &#8211;  When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains  abounding with water.<br />
25 &#8211; Before the mountains were settled, before the  hills was I brought forth:<br />
26 &#8211; While as yet he had not made the earth, nor  the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.<br />
27 &#8211; When he  prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the  depth:<br />
28 &#8211; When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the  fountains of the deep:<br />
29 &#8211; When he gave to the sea his decree, that the  waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the  earth:<br />
30 &#8211; Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was  daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;<br />
31 &#8211; Rejoicing in the  habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.<br />
32  &#8211; Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep  my ways.<br />
33 &#8211; Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.<br />
34 &#8211;  Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the  posts of my doors.<br />
35 &#8211; For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain  favour of the LORD.<br />
36 &#8211; But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own  soul: all they that hate me love death.</p>

<p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em; color: #333333;">Proverbs 8</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em; text-transform: uppercase;">Wisdom  Calls for a Hearing</span><br />
<strong>1</strong> Listen as Wisdom calls  out!<br />
Hear as understanding raises her voice!<br />
<strong>2</strong> On the  hilltop along the road,<br />
she takes her stand at the  crossroads.<br />
<strong>3</strong> By the gates at the entrance to the  town,<br />
on the road leading in, she cries aloud,<br />
<strong>4</strong> &#8220;I  call to you, to all of you!<br />
I raise my voice to all  people.<br />
<strong>5</strong> You simple people, use good judgment.<br />
You  foolish people, show some understanding.<br />
<strong>6</strong> Listen to me! For  I have important things to tell you.<br />
Everything I say is  right,<br />
<strong>7</strong> for I speak the truth<br />
and detest every kind of  deception.<br />
<strong>8</strong> My advice is wholesome.<br />
There is nothing  devious or crooked in it.<br />
<strong>9</strong> My words are plain to anyone  with understanding,<br />
clear to those with  knowledge.<br />
<strong>10</strong> Choose my instruction rather than  silver,<br />
and knowledge rather than pure gold.<br />
<strong>11</strong> For  wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.<br />
Nothing you desire can compare  with it.</p>
<p><strong>12</strong> &#8220;I, Wisdom, live together with good  judgment.<br />
I know where to discover knowledge and  discernment.<br />
<strong>13</strong> All who fear the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> will hate evil.<br />
Therefore, I hate pride and  arrogance,<br />
corruption and perverse speech.<br />
<strong>14</strong> Common  sense and success belong to me.<br />
Insight and strength are  mine.<br />
<strong>15</strong> Because of me, kings reign,<br />
and rulers make  just decrees.<br />
<strong>16</strong> Rulers lead with my help,<br />
and nobles  make righteous judgments.*</p>
<p><strong>17</strong> &#8220;I love all who love  me.<br />
Those who search will surely find me.<br />
<strong>18</strong> I have  riches and honor,<br />
as well as enduring wealth and  justice.<br />
<strong>19</strong> My gifts are better than gold, even the purest  gold,<br />
my wages better than sterling silver!<br />
<strong>20</strong> I walk  in righteousness,<br />
in paths of justice.<br />
<strong>21</strong> Those who  love me inherit wealth.<br />
I will fill their  treasuries.</p>
<p><strong>22</strong> &#8220;The L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> formed me from the beginning,<br />
before he created anything  else.<br />
<strong>23</strong> I was appointed in ages past,<br />
at the very  first, before the earth began.<br />
<strong>24</strong> I was born before the  oceans were created,<br />
before the springs bubbled forth their  waters.<br />
<strong>25</strong> Before the mountains were formed,<br />
before the  hills, I was born—<br />
<strong>26</strong> before he had made the earth and  fields<br />
and the first handfuls of soil.<br />
<strong>27</strong> I was there  when he established the heavens,<br />
when he drew the horizon on the  oceans.<br />
<strong>28</strong> I was there when he set the clouds  above,<br />
when he established springs deep in the  earth.<br />
<strong>29</strong> I was there when he set the limits of the  seas,<br />
so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.<br />
And when he  marked off the earth&#8217;s foundations,<br />
<strong>30</strong> I was the architect  at his side.<br />
I was his constant delight,<br />
rejoicing always in his  presence.<br />
<strong>31</strong> And how happy I was with the world he  created;<br />
how I rejoiced with the human  family!</p>
<p><strong>32</strong> &#8220;And so, my children,* listen to me,<br />
for  all who follow my ways are joyful.<br />
<strong>33</strong> Listen to my  instruction and be wise.<br />
Don&#8217;t ignore it.<br />
<strong>34</strong> Joyful are  those who listen to me,<br />
watching for me daily at my gates,<br />
waiting for  me outside my home!<br />
<strong>35</strong> For whoever finds me finds  life<br />
and receives favor from the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span>.<br />
<strong>36</strong> But those who miss me injure  themselves.<br />
All who hate me love death.&#8221;</td>

35 &#8211; For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain  favour of the LORD.<br />
36 &#8211; But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own  soul: all they that hate me love death.</p>

<p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em; color: #333333;">Proverbs 8</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em; text-transform: uppercase;">Wisdom  Calls for a Hearing</span><br />
<strong>1</strong> Listen as Wisdom calls  out!<br />
Hear as understanding raises her voice!<br />
<strong>2</strong> On the  hilltop along the road,<br />
she takes her stand at the  crossroads.<br />
<strong>3</strong> By the gates at the entrance to the  town,<br />
on the road leading in, she cries aloud,<br />
<strong>4</strong> &#8220;I  call to you, to all of you!<br />
I raise my voice to all  people.<br />
<strong>5</strong> You simple people, use good judgment.<br />
You  foolish people, show some understanding.<br />
<strong>6</strong> Listen to me! For  I have important things to tell you.<br />
Everything I say is  right,<br />
<strong>7</strong> for I speak the truth<br />
and detest every kind of  deception.<br />
<strong>8</strong> My advice is wholesome.<br />
There is nothing  devious or crooked in it.<br />
<strong>9</strong> My words are plain to anyone  with understanding,<br />
clear to those with  knowledge.<br />
<strong>10</strong> Choose my instruction rather than  silver,<br />
and knowledge rather than pure gold.<br />
<strong>11</strong> For  wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.<br />
Nothing you desire can compare  with it.</p>
<p><strong>12</strong> &#8220;I, Wisdom, live together with good  judgment.<br />
I know where to discover knowledge and  discernment.<br />
<strong>13</strong> All who fear the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> will hate evil.<br />
Therefore, I hate pride and  arrogance,<br />
corruption and perverse speech.<br />
<strong>14</strong> Common  sense and success belong to me.<br />
Insight and strength are  mine.<br />
<strong>15</strong> Because of me, kings reign,<br />
and rulers make  just decrees.<br />
<strong>16</strong> Rulers lead with my help,<br />
and nobles  make righteous judgments.*</p>
<p><strong>17</strong> &#8220;I love all who love  me.<br />
Those who search will surely find me.<br />
<strong>18</strong> I have  riches and honor,<br />
as well as enduring wealth and  justice.<br />
<strong>19</strong> My gifts are better than gold, even the purest  gold,<br />
my wages better than sterling silver!<br />
<strong>20</strong> I walk  in righteousness,<br />
in paths of justice.<br />
<strong>21</strong> Those who  love me inherit wealth.<br />
I will fill their  treasuries.</p>
<p><strong>22</strong> &#8220;The L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> formed me from the beginning,<br />
before he created anything  else.<br />
<strong>23</strong> I was appointed in ages past,<br />
at the very  first, before the earth began.<br />
<strong>24</strong> I was born before the  oceans were created,<br />
before the springs bubbled forth their  waters.<br />
<strong>25</strong> Before the mountains were formed,<br />
before the  hills, I was born—<br />
<strong>26</strong> before he had made the earth and  fields<br />
and the first handfuls of soil.<br />
<strong>27</strong> I was there  when he established the heavens,<br />
when he drew the horizon on the  oceans.<br />
<strong>28</strong> I was there when he set the clouds  above,<br />
when he established springs deep in the  earth.<br />
<strong>29</strong> I was there when he set the limits of the  seas,<br />
so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.<br />
And when he  marked off the earth&#8217;s foundations,<br />
<strong>30</strong> I was the architect  at his side.<br />
I was his constant delight,<br />
rejoicing always in his  presence.<br />
<strong>31</strong> And how happy I was with the world he  created;<br />
how I rejoiced with the human  family!</p>
<p><strong>32</strong> &#8220;And so, my children,* listen to me,<br />
for  all who follow my ways are joyful.<br />
<strong>33</strong> Listen to my  instruction and be wise.<br />
Don&#8217;t ignore it.<br />
<strong>34</strong> Joyful are  those who listen to me,<br />
watching for me daily at my gates,<br />
waiting for  me outside my home!<br />
<strong>35</strong> For whoever finds me finds  life<br />
and receives favor from the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span>.<br />
<strong>36</strong> But those who miss me injure  themselves.<br />
All who hate me love death.&#8221;</td>

<p>1 &#8211; My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.<br />
2 &#8211; Keep my  commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.<br />
3 &#8211; Bind them  upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.<br />
4 &#8211; Say unto  wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman:<br />
5 &#8211;  That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which]  flattereth with her words.<br />
6 &#8211; For at the window of my house I looked  through my casement,<br />
7 &#8211; And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among  the youths, a young man void of understanding,<br />
8 &#8211; Passing through the  street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,<br />
9 &#8211; In the  twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:<br />
10 &#8211; And, behold,  there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.<br />
11 &#8211; (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:<br />
12 &#8211;  Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)<br />
13 &#8211; So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said  unto him,<br />
14 &#8211; [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my  vows.<br />
15 &#8211; Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face,  and I have found thee.<br />
16 &#8211; I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,  with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.<br />
17 &#8211; I have perfumed my bed  with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.<br />
18 &#8211; Come, let us take our fill of love  until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.<br />
19 &#8211; For the goodman  [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey:<br />
20 &#8211; He hath taken a bag of  money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed.<br />
21 &#8211; With her  much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she  forced him.<br />
22 &#8211; He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the  slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;<br />
23 &#8211; Till a dart  strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that  it [is] for his life.<br />
24 &#8211; Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and  attend to the words of my mouth.<br />
25 &#8211; Let not thine heart decline to her  ways, go not astray in her paths.<br />
26 &#8211; For she hath cast down many wounded:  yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her.<br />
27 &#8211; Her house [is] the way  to hell, going down to the chambers of death.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em; color: #333333;">Proverbs 7</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em; text-transform: uppercase;">Another  Warning about Immoral Women</span><br />
<strong>1</strong> Follow my  advice, my son;<br />
always treasure my commands.<br />
<strong>2</strong> Obey my  commands and live!<br />
Guard my instructions as you guard your own  eyes.*<br />
<strong>3</strong> Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.<br />
Write  them deep within your heart.</p>
<p><strong>4</strong> Love wisdom like a  sister;<br />
make insight a beloved member of your  family.<br />
<strong>5</strong> Let them protect you from an affair with an  immoral woman,<br />
from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous  woman.</p>
<p><strong>6</strong> While I was at the window of my  house,<br />
looking through the curtain,<br />
<strong>7</strong> I saw some naive  young men,<br />
and one in particular who lacked common  sense.<br />
<strong>8</strong> He was crossing the street near the house of an  immoral woman,<br />
strolling down the path by her  house.<br />
<strong>9</strong> It was at twilight, in the evening,<br />
as deep  darkness fell.<br />
<strong>10</strong> The woman approached him,<br />
seductively  dressed and sly of heart.<br />
<strong>11</strong> She was the brash, rebellious  type,<br />
never content to stay at home.<br />
<strong>12</strong> She is often in  the streets and markets,<br />
soliciting at every  corner.<br />
<strong>13</strong> She threw her arms around him and kissed  him,<br />
and with a brazen look she said,<br />
<strong>14</strong> &#8220;I&#8217;ve just  made my peace offerings<br />
and fulfilled my  vows.<br />
<strong>15</strong> You&#8217;re the one I was looking for!<br />
I came out  to find you, and here you are!<br />
<strong>16</strong> My bed is spread with  beautiful blankets,<br />
with colored sheets of Egyptian  linen.<br />
<strong>17</strong> I&#8217;ve perfumed my bed<br />
with myrrh, aloes, and  cinnamon.<br />
<strong>18</strong> Come, let&#8217;s drink our fill of love until  morning.<br />
Let&#8217;s enjoy each other&#8217;s caresses,<br />
<strong>19</strong> for my  husband is not home.<br />
He&#8217;s away on a long trip.<br />
<strong>20</strong> He  has taken a wallet full of money with him<br />
and won&#8217;t return until later this  month.*&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>21</strong> So she seduced him with her pretty  speech<br />
and enticed him with her flattery.<br />
<strong>22</strong> He  followed her at once,<br />
like an ox going to the slaughter.<br />
He was like a  stag caught in a trap,<br />
<strong>23</strong> awaiting the arrow that would  pierce its heart.<br />
He was like a bird flying into a snare,<br />
little knowing  it would cost him his life.</p>
<p><strong>24</strong> So listen to me, my  sons,<br />
and pay attention to my words.<br />
<strong>25</strong> Don&#8217;t let your  hearts stray away toward her.<br />
Don&#8217;t wander down her wayward  path.<br />
<strong>26</strong> For she has been the ruin of many;<br />
many men  have been her victims.<br />
<strong>27</strong> Her house is the road to the  grave.*<br />
Her bedroom is the den of death.</p>

<strong>1</strong> My child, if you have put up security for a friend&#8217;s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—<br />
<strong>2</strong> if you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said—<br />
<strong>3</strong> follow my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend&#8217;s mercy.<br />
Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased.<br />
<strong>4</strong> Don&#8217;t put it off; do it now! Don&#8217;t rest until you do.<br />
<strong>5</strong> Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>6 &#8211; Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:<br />
7 &#8211; Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,<br />
8 &#8211; Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.<br />
9 &#8211; How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?<br />
10 &#8211; [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:<br />
11 &#8211; So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>6</strong> Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!<br />
<strong>7</strong> Though they have no prince  or governor or ruler to make them work,<br />
<strong>8</strong> they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.<br />
<strong>9</strong> But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up?<br />
<strong>10</strong> A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—<br />
<strong>11</strong> then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>12 &#8211; A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.<br />
13 &#8211; He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;<br />
14 &#8211; Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.<br />
15 &#8211; Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>12</strong> What are worthless and wicked people like? They are constant liars,<br />
<strong>13</strong> signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye, a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.<br />
<strong>14</strong> Their perverted hearts plot evil,  and they constantly stir up trouble.<br />
<strong>15</strong> But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>16 &#8211; These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:<br />
17 &#8211; A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,<br />
18 &#8211; An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,<br />
19 &#8211; A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>16</strong> There are six things the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> hates—no, seven things he detests:<br />
<strong>17</strong> haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,<br />
<strong>18</strong> a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,<br />
<strong>19</strong> a false witness who pours out lies,  a person who sows discord in a family.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>20 &#8211; My son, keep thy father&#8217;s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:<br />
21 &#8211; Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.<br />
22 &#8211; When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.<br />
23 &#8211; For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:<br />
24 &#8211; To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.<br />
25 &#8211; Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.<br />
26 &#8211; For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.<br />
27 &#8211; Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?<br />
28 &#8211; Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?<br />
29 &#8211; So he that goeth in to his neighbour&#8217;s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>20</strong> My son, obey your father&#8217;s commands, and don&#8217;t neglect your mother&#8217;s instruction.<br />
<strong>21</strong> Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck.<br />
<strong>22</strong> When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.<br />
<strong>23</strong> For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.<br />
<strong>24</strong> It will keep you from the immoral woman,  from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.<br />
<strong>25</strong> Don&#8217;t lust for her beauty.  Don&#8217;t let her coy glances seduce you.<br />
<strong>26</strong> For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,*  but sleeping with another man&#8217;s wife will cost you your life.<br />
<strong>27</strong> Can a man scoop a flame into his lap  and not have his clothes catch on fire?<br />
<strong>28</strong> Can he walk on hot coals  and not blister his feet?<br />
<strong>29</strong> So it is with the man who sleeps with another man&#8217;s wife.  He who embraces her will not go unpunished.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>30 &#8211; [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;<br />
31 &#8211; But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.<br />
32 &#8211; [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.<br />
33 &#8211; A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.<br />
34 &#8211; For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.<br />
35 &#8211; He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>30</strong> Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving.<br />
<strong>31</strong> But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.<br />
<strong>32</strong> But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.<br />
<strong>33</strong> He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased.<br />
<strong>34</strong> For the woman&#8217;s jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.<br />
<strong>35</strong> He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.</p>

<strong>1</strong> My child, if you have put up security for a friend&#8217;s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—<br />
<strong>2</strong> if you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said—<br />
<strong>3</strong> follow my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend&#8217;s mercy.<br />
Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased.<br />
<strong>4</strong> Don&#8217;t put it off; do it now! Don&#8217;t rest until you do.<br />
<strong>5</strong> Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.</p>

<p>6 &#8211; Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:<br />
7 &#8211; Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,<br />
8 &#8211; Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.<br />
9 &#8211; How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?<br />
10 &#8211; [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:<br />
11 &#8211; So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>6</strong> Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!<br />
<strong>7</strong> Though they have no prince  or governor or ruler to make them work,<br />
<strong>8</strong> they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.<br />
<strong>9</strong> But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up?<br />
<strong>10</strong> A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—<br />
<strong>11</strong> then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>12 &#8211; A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.<br />
13 &#8211; He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;<br />
14 &#8211; Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.<br />
15 &#8211; Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>12</strong> What are worthless and wicked people like? They are constant liars,<br />
<strong>13</strong> signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye, a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.<br />
<strong>14</strong> Their perverted hearts plot evil,  and they constantly stir up trouble.<br />
<strong>15</strong> But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>16 &#8211; These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:<br />
17 &#8211; A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,<br />
18 &#8211; An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,<br />
19 &#8211; A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>16</strong> There are six things the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> hates—no, seven things he detests:<br />
<strong>17</strong> haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,<br />
<strong>18</strong> a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,<br />
<strong>19</strong> a false witness who pours out lies,  a person who sows discord in a family.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>20 &#8211; My son, keep thy father&#8217;s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:<br />
21 &#8211; Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.<br />
22 &#8211; When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.<br />
23 &#8211; For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:<br />
24 &#8211; To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.<br />
25 &#8211; Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.<br />
26 &#8211; For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.<br />
27 &#8211; Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?<br />
28 &#8211; Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?<br />
29 &#8211; So he that goeth in to his neighbour&#8217;s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>20</strong> My son, obey your father&#8217;s commands, and don&#8217;t neglect your mother&#8217;s instruction.<br />
<strong>21</strong> Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck.<br />
<strong>22</strong> When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.<br />
<strong>23</strong> For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.<br />
<strong>24</strong> It will keep you from the immoral woman,  from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.<br />
<strong>25</strong> Don&#8217;t lust for her beauty.  Don&#8217;t let her coy glances seduce you.<br />
<strong>26</strong> For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,*  but sleeping with another man&#8217;s wife will cost you your life.<br />
<strong>27</strong> Can a man scoop a flame into his lap  and not have his clothes catch on fire?<br />
<strong>28</strong> Can he walk on hot coals  and not blister his feet?<br />
<strong>29</strong> So it is with the man who sleeps with another man&#8217;s wife.  He who embraces her will not go unpunished.</p>
<p><strong>Bible-History</strong></p>
<p>30 &#8211; [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;<br />
31 &#8211; But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.<br />
32 &#8211; [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.<br />
33 &#8211; A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.<br />
34 &#8211; For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.<br />
35 &#8211; He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.</p>
<p><strong>New Living Translation</strong></p>
<p><strong>30</strong> Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving.<br />
<strong>31</strong> But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.<br />
<strong>32</strong> But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.<br />
<strong>33</strong> He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased.<br />
<strong>34</strong> For the woman&#8217;s jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.<br />
<strong>35</strong> He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.</p>

<p><em>Note for you before reading; what I write is hard to read because I usually write as it flows &#8211; and when I start second guessing &#8230; well, suffice it to say, this &#8230; heck &#8230; nothing would ever get written &#8230;  :-)</em></p>
<div><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Proverbs 5</span></strong></div>
<div><strong></strong></div>
<p>1 &#8211; My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:<br />
2 &#8211; That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge.<br />
3 &#8211; For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:<br />
4 &#8211; But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.<br />
5 &#8211; Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.<br />
6 &#8211; Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].<br />
7 &#8211; Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.<br />
8 &#8211; Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:<br />
9 &#8211; Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:<br />
10 &#8211; Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger;<br />
11 &#8211; And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,<br />
12 &#8211; And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;<br />
13 &#8211; And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!<br />
14 &#8211; I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.<br />
15 &#8211; Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.<br />
16 &#8211; Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets.<br />
17 &#8211; Let them be only thine own, and not strangers&#8217; with thee.<br />
18 &#8211; Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.<br />
19 &#8211; [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.<br />
20 &#8211; And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?<br />
21 &#8211; For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.<br />
22 &#8211; His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.<br />
23 &#8211; He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em; text-transform: uppercase;">Avoid Immoral Women</span><br />
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;  listen carefully to my wise counsel.<br />
2 Then you will show discernment,  and your lips will express what you&#8217;ve learned.<br />
3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,  and her mouth is smoother than oil.<br />
4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison,  as dangerous as a double-edged sword.<br />
5 Her feet go down to death;  her steps lead straight to the grave.*<br />
6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.  She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn&#8217;t realize it.</p>
<p><em>I think this may go deeper than *immoral women*  &#8230; verse 2 &#8230; your lips will express what you have learned &#8230; verse 3 &#8230; the lips of an immoral woman &#8230; (the lips stay the same &#8211; but what is the opposite of wise (moral?) man?  &#8230; an immoral woman. ) &#8230; I&#8217;m just sayin &#8230; maybe?  immoral woman = hmmm &#8230; what ever fill in the blank would be &#8211; it could really change the meanings of future proverbs to be read <img src='http://todayido.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' title="Proverbs 5" /> </em></p>
<p>7 So now, my sons, listen to me.  Never stray from what I am about to say:<br />
8 Stay away from her! Don&#8217;t go near the door of her house!<br />
9 If you do, you will lose your honor  and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.<br />
10 Strangers will consume your wealth,  and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.<br />
11 In the end you will groan in anguish  when disease consumes your body.<br />
12 You will say, &#8220;How I hated discipline!  If only I had not ignored all the warnings!<br />
13 Oh, why didn&#8217;t I listen to my teachers?  Why didn&#8217;t I pay attention to my instructors?<br />
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,  and now I must face public disgrace.&#8221;</p>
<p>15 Drink water from your own well—  share your love only with your wife.<br />
16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,  having sex with just anyone?*<br />
17 You should reserve it for yourselves.  Never share it with strangers.</p>
<p>18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.  Rejoice in the wife of your youth.<br />
19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.  Let her breasts satisfy you always.  May you always be captivated by her love.<br />
20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman,  or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?</p>
<p>21 For the L<span class="textSC">ORD</span> sees clearly what a man does,  examining every path he takes.<br />
22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.<br />
23 He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.</p>

<p><em>And with that it&#8217;s on with Proverb #4 &#8230;</em></p>
<p>1 &#8211; Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.<br />
2 &#8211; For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.<br />
3 &#8211; For I was my father&#8217;s son, tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.<br />
4 &#8211; He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.<br />
5 &#8211; Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.<br />
6 &#8211; Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><em>December 4th &#8211; another new day and another new (ok really old &#8211; but new to me <img src='http://todayido.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' title="Proverbs 4" />   ) Proverb.  Same exercise as the past three days &#8211; My comments in italics &#8230; if I am </em><strong>really making a point</strong> <em>it&#8217;s be bold.</em></p>
<p><em>And with that it&#8217;s on with Proverb #4 &#8230;</em></p>
<p>1 &#8211; Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.<br />
2 &#8211; For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.<br />
3 &#8211; For I was my father&#8217;s son, tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.<br />
4 &#8211; He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.<br />
5 &#8211; Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.<br />
6 &#8211; Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.<br />
7 &#8211; Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.</p>
<p><em>Do not seek knowledge to know something, seek knowledge to truly understand &#8230; this is wisdom.  Is &#8220;she&#8221; wisdom here?</em></p>
