In that nightH3915 did GodH430 appearH7200 unto SolomonH8010, and saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto GodH430, Thou hast shewedH6213 greatH1419 mercyH2617 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hast made me to reignH4427 in his stead.
Now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, let thy promiseH1697 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539: for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitudeH7227. {like…: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
GiveH5414 me now wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may go outH3318 and come inH935 beforeH6440 this peopleH5971: for who can judgeH8199 this thy peopleH5971, that is so greatH1419?
And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this was in thine heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honourH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH8130, neither yet hast askedH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427:
WisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 is grantedH5414 unto thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH5233, and honourH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have been beforeH6440 thee, neither shall there any afterH310 thee have the like.
My servantsH5650 shall bring them downH3381 from LebanonH3844 unto the seaH3220: and I will conveyH7760 them by seaH3220 in floatsH1702 unto the placeH4725 that thou shalt appointH7971 me, and will cause them to be dischargedH5310 there, and thou shalt receiveH5375 them: and thou shalt accomplishH6213 my desireH2656, in givingH5414 foodH3899 for my householdH1004. {appoint: Heb. send}
And the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 wisdomH2451, as he promisedH1696 him: and there was peaceH7965 between HiramH2438 and SolomonH8010; and they twoH8147 madeH3772 a leagueH1285 togetherH8147.
Bow downH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450, and applyH7896 thine heartH3820 unto my knowledgeH1847.
And SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of wheatH2406 for foodH4361 to his householdH1004, and twentyH6242 measuresH3734 of pureH3795 oilH8081: thus gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 to HiramH2438 yearH8141 by yearH8141. {measures: Heb. cors}
These are also proverbsH4912 of SolomonH8010, which the menH582 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 copied outH6275.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of knowledgeH1847: but foolsH191 despiseH936 wisdomH2451 and instructionH4148. {the beginning: or, the principal part}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451: and the knowledgeH1847 of the holyH6918 is understandingH998.
Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869: fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451.
To knowH3045 wisdomH2451 and instructionH4148; to perceiveH995 the wordsH561 of understandingH998;
To receiveH3947 the instructionH4148 of wisdomH7919, justiceH6664, and judgmentH4941, and equityH4339; {equity: Heb. equities}
To giveH5414 subtiltyH6195 to the simpleH6612, to the young manH5288 knowledgeH1847 and discretionH4209. {discretion: or, advisement}
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
The sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096.
InG1722 himG846 wasG2258 lifeG2222; andG2532 the lifeG2222 wasG2258 the lightG5457 of menG444.
AndG2532 the lightG5457 shinethG5316 inG1722 darknessG4653; andG2532 the darknessG4653 comprehendedG2638 itG846 notG3756. {comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive}
There wasG1096 a manG444 sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was JohnG2491.
The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100.
He wasG2258 notG3756 thatG1565 LightG5457, butG235 was sent toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 that LightG5457.
That wasG2258 the trueG228 LightG5457, whichG3739 lightethG5461 every manG3956+G444 that comethG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
He wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 the worldG2889 was madeG1096 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 the worldG2889 knewG1097 himG846 notG3756.
He cameG2064 untoG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 his ownG2398 receivedG3880 himG846 notG3756.
ButG1161 as many asG3745 receivedG2983 himG846, to themG846 gave heG1325 powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3686: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
AndG2532 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
The sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316.
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096.
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
HathG2980 inG1909 theseG5130 lastG2078 daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto usG2254 byG1722 his SonG5207, whomG3739 he hath appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, byG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worldsG165;
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
AndG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772, which saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207; inG1722 theeG4671 I am well pleasedG2106.
CounselH6098 is mine, and sound wisdomH8454: I am understandingH998; I have strengthH1369.
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
If thou seekestH1245 her as silverH3701, and searchestH2664 for her as for hid treasuresH4301;
InG1722 whomG3739 areG1526 hidG614 allG3956 the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108. {In whom: or, Wherein}
O ye simpleH6612, understandH995 wisdomH6195: and, ye foolsH3684, be ye of an understandingH995 heartH3820.
InG1722 thatG846 hourG5610 JesusG2424 rejoiced inG21 spiritG4151, andG2532 saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, thatG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516: even soG3483, FatherG3962; forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096 goodG2107 inG1715 thyG4675 sightG1715.
But whoso hearkenethH8085 unto me shall dwellH7931 safelyH983, and shall be quietH7599 from fearH6343 of evilH7451.
ComeG1205 untoG4314 meG3165, allG3956 ye that labourG2872 andG2532 are heavy ladenG5412, and IG2504 will giveG373 youG5209 restG373.
For whoso findethH4672 me findethH4672+H4672 lifeH2416, and shall obtainH6329 favourH7522 of the LORDH3068. {obtain: Heb. bring forth}
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ComeH3212, eatH3898 of my breadH3899, and drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 which I have mingledH4537.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, IG1473 amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222: he that comethG2064 toG4314 meG3165 shall neverG3364 hungerG3983; andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 shallG1372 neverG3364+G4455 thirstG1372.
UnderstandingH7922 is a wellspringH4726 of lifeH2416 unto him that hathH1167 it: but the instructionH4148 of foolsH191 is follyH200.
A reproofH1606 enterethH5181 more into a wise manH995 than an hundredH3967 stripesH5221 into a foolH3684. {entereth…: or, aweth more a wise man, than to strike a fool an hundred times}
A continualH2956 droppingH1812 in a very rainyH5464 dayH3117 and a contentiousH4079+H4066 womanH802 are alikeH7737.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 prolongethH3254 daysH3117: but the yearsH8141 of the wickedH7563 shall be shortenedH7114. {prolongeth: Heb. addeth}
And CainH7014 talkedH559 withH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251: and it came to pass, when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 rose upH6965 againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slew himH2026.
SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovelyH157 and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were not dividedH6504: they were swifterH7043 than eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 than lionsH738. {pleasant: or, sweet}
When a man'sH376 waysH1870 pleaseH7521 the LORDH3068, he maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peaceH7999 with him.
AndG1161 there came thitherG1904 certain JewsG2453 fromG575 AntiochG490 andG2532 IconiumG2430, whoG2532 persuadedG3982 the peopleG3793, andG2532, having stonedG3034 PaulG3972, drewG4951 him out ofG1854 the cityG4172, supposingG3543 heG846 had been deadG2348.
So are the waysH734 of every one that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215; which taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
He that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215 troublethH5916 his own houseH1004; but he that hatethH8130 giftsH4979 shall liveH2421.
A giftH7810 is as a preciousH2580 stoneH68 in the eyesH5869 of him that hathH1167 it: whithersoever it turnethH6437, it prosperethH7919. {a precious…: Heb. a stone of grace}
EatH3898 thou not the breadH3899 of him that hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, neither desireH183 thou his dainty meatsH4303:
For as he thinkethH8176 in his heartH5315, so is he: EatH398 and drinkH8354, saithH559 he to thee; but his heartH3820 is not with thee.
The morselH6595 which thou hast eatenH398 shalt thou vomit upH6958, and loseH7843 thy sweetH5273 wordsH1697.
He that by usuryH5392 and unjust gainH8636 increasethH7235 his substanceH1952, he shall gatherH6908 it for him that will pityH2603 the poorH1800. {unjust…: Heb. by increase}
HeH376 that hastethH926 to be richH1952 hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, and considerethH3045 not that povertyH2639 shall comeH935 upon him. {hasteth…: or, hath and evil eye hasteth to be rich}
HonourH3513 the LORDH3068 with thy substanceH1952, and with the firstfruitsH7225 of all thine increaseH8393:
So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plentyH7647, and thy pressesH3342 shall burst outH6555 with new wineH8492.
The mercifulH2617 manH376 doeth goodH1580 to his own soulH5315: but he that is cruelH394 troublethH5916 his own fleshH7607.
There isH3426 that scatterethH6340, and yet increasethH3254; and there is that withholdethH2820 more than is meetH3476, but it tendeth to povertyH4270.
The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fatH1878: and he that waterethH7301 shall be wateredH3384 also himself. {liberal…: Heb. soul of blessing}
He that despisethH936 his neighbourH7453 sinnethH2398: but he that hath mercyH2603 on the poorH6035+H6041, happyH835 is he.
He that oppressethH6231 the poorH1800 reproachethH2778 his MakerH6213: but he that honourethH3513 him hath mercyH2603 on the poorH34.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the frowardH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.
The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559 for everH5703: but a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a momentH7280.
DeceitH4820 is in the heartH3820 of them that imagineH2790 evilH7451: but to the counsellorsH3289 of peaceH7965 is joyH8057.
There shall no evilH205 happenH579 to the justH6662: but the wickedH7563 shall be filledH4390 with mischiefH7451.
LyingH8267 lipsH8193 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but they that dealH6213 trulyH530 are his delightH7522.
A righteousH6662 man hatethH8130 lyingH1697+H8267: but a wickedH7563 man is loathsomeH887, and cometh to shameH2659.
A proudH7311 lookH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, {A proud…: Heb. Haughty eyes}
A proudH7311 lookH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, {A proud…: Heb. Haughty eyes}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the frowardH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.
When prideH2087 comethH935, then comethH935 shameH7036: but with the lowlyH6800 is wisdomH2451.
He that is despisedH7034, and hath a servantH5650, is betterH2896 than he that honourethH3513 himself, and lackethH2638 breadH3899.
GoH3212 to the antH5244, thou sluggardH6102; considerH7200 her waysH1870, and be wiseH2449:
Which having no guideH7101, overseerH7860, or rulerH4910,
ProvidethH3559 her meatH3899 in the summerH7019, and gatherethH103 her foodH3978 in the harvestH7105.
How long wilt thou sleepH7901, O sluggardH6102? when wilt thou ariseH6965 out of thy sleepH8142?
Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901:
So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980, and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376.
He becometh poorH7326 that dealethH6213 with a slackH7423 handH3709: but the handH3027 of the diligentH2742 maketh richH6238.
As vinegarH2558 to the teethH8127, and as smokeH6227 to the eyesH5869, so is the sluggardH6102 to them that sendH7971 him.
He that tillethH5647 his landH127 shall be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899: but he that followethH7291 vainH7386 persons is voidH2638 of understandingH3820.
The handH3027 of the diligentH2742 shall bear ruleH4910: but the slothfulH7423 shall be under tributeH4522. {slothful: or, deceitful}
The slothfulH7423 man roastethH2760 not that which he took in huntingH6718: but the substanceH1952 of a diligentH2742 manH120 is preciousH3368.
