King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
A graciousH2580 womanH802 retainethH8551 honourH3519: and strongH6184 men retainH8551 richesH6239.
The mercifulH2617 manH376 doeth goodH1580 to his own soulH5315: but he that is cruelH394 troublethH5916 his own fleshH7607.
The wickedH7563 workethH6213 a deceitfulH8267 workH6468: but to him that sowethH2232 righteousnessH6666 shall be a sureH571 rewardH7938.
As righteousnessH6666 tendeth to lifeH2416: so he that pursuethH7291 evilH7451 pursueth it to his own deathH4194.
They that are of a frowardH6141 heartH3820 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but such as are uprightH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522.
Though handH3027 join in handH3027, the wickedH7451 shall not be unpunishedH5352: but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.
As a jewelH5141 of goldH2091 in a swine'sH2386 snoutH639, so is a fairH3303 womanH802 which is withoutH5493 discretionH2940. {is without: Heb. departeth from}
The desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 is only goodH2896: but the expectationH8615 of the wickedH7563 is wrathH5678.
The wordsH1697 of kingH4428 LemuelH3927, the prophecyH4853 that his motherH517 taughtH3256 him.
What, my sonH1248? and what, the sonH1248 of my wombH990? and what, the sonH1248 of my vowsH5088?
GiveH5414 not thy strengthH2428 unto womenH802, nor thy waysH1870 to that which destroyethH4229 kingsH4428.
It is not for kingsH4428, O LemuelH3927, it is not for kingsH4428 to drinkH8354 wineH3196; nor forH335+H176 princesH7336 strong drinkH7941:
Lest they drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 the lawH2710, and pervertH8138 the judgmentH1779 of any of the afflictedH1121+H6040. {prevert: Heb. alter} {of any…: Heb. of all the sons of affliction}
GiveH5414 strong drinkH7941 unto him that is ready to perishH6, and wineH3196 unto those that be of heavyH4751 heartsH5315. {of…: Heb. bitter of soul}
Let him drinkH8354, and forgetH7911 his povertyH7389, and rememberH2142 his miseryH5999 no more.
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310 for the dumbH483 in the causeH1779 of all such as are appointedH1121 to destructionH2475. {such…: Heb. the sons of destruction}
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310, judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664, and pleadH1777 the cause of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
Who can findH4672 a virtuousH2428 womanH802? for her priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubiesH6443.
The heartH3820 of her husbandH1167 doth safely trustH982 in her, so that he shall have no needH2637 of spoilH7998.
She will doH1580 him goodH2896 and not evilH7451 all the daysH3117 of her lifeH2416.
She seekethH1875 woolH6785, and flaxH6593, and workethH6213 willinglyH2656 with her handsH3709.
She is like the merchants'H5503 shipsH591; she bringethH935 her foodH3899 from afarH4801.
She risethH6965 also while it is yet nightH3915, and givethH5414 meatH2964 to her householdH1004, and a portionH2706 to her maidensH5291.
She considerethH2161 a fieldH7704, and buyethH3947 it: with the fruitH6529 of her handsH3709 she plantethH5193 a vineyardH3754. {buyeth: Heb. taketh}
She girdethH2296 her loinsH4975 with strengthH5797, and strengthenethH553 her armsH2220.
She perceivethH2938 that her merchandiseH5504 is goodH2896: her candleH5216 goeth not outH3518 by nightH3915. {She…: Heb. She tasteth}
She layethH7971 her handsH3027 to the spindleH3601, and her handsH3709 holdH8551 the distaffH6418.
She stretcheth outH6566 her handH3709 to the poorH6041; yea, she reacheth forthH7971 her handsH3027 to the needyH34. {She…: Heb. She spreadeth}
She is not afraidH3372 of the snowH7950 for her householdH1004: for all her householdH1004 are clothedH3847 with scarletH8144. {scarlet: or, double garments}
She makethH6213 herself coverings of tapestryH4765; her clothingH3830 is silkH8336 and purpleH713.
Her husbandH1167 is knownH3045 in the gatesH8179, when he sittethH3427 among the eldersH2205 of the landH776.
She makethH6213 fine linenH5466, and sellethH4376 it; and deliverethH5414 girdlesH2289 unto the merchantH3669.
StrengthH5797 and honourH1926 are her clothingH3830; and she shall rejoiceH7832 in timeH3117 to comeH314.
She openethH6605 her mouthH6310 with wisdomH2451; and in her tongueH3956 is the lawH8451 of kindnessH2617.
She looketh wellH6822 to the waysH1979+H1979 of her householdH1004, and eatethH398 not the breadH3899 of idlenessH6104.
Her childrenH1121 arise upH6965, and call her blessedH833; her husbandH1167 also, and he praisethH1984 her.
ManyH7227 daughtersH1323 have doneH6213 virtuouslyH2428, but thou excellestH5927 them all. {have…: or, have gotten riches}
FavourH2580 is deceitfulH8267, and beautyH3308 is vainH1892: but a womanH802 that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, she shall be praisedH1984.
GiveH5414 her of the fruitH6529 of her handsH3027; and let her own worksH4639 praiseH1984 her in the gatesH8179.
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
The preparationsH4633 of the heartH3820 in manH120, and the answerH4617 of the tongueH3956, is from the LORDH3068. {preparations: or, disposings}
All the waysH1870 of a manH376 are cleanH2134 in his own eyesH5869; but the LORDH3068 weighethH8505 the spiritsH7307.
CommitH1556 thy worksH4639 unto the LORDH3068, and thy thoughtsH4284 shall be establishedH3559. {Commit: Heb. Roll}
The LORDH3068 hath madeH6466 all things for himselfH4617: yea, even the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.
Every one that is proudH1362 in heartH3820 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: though handH3027 join in handH3027, he shall not be unpunishedH5352. {unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
By mercyH2617 and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is purgedH3722: and by the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 men departH5493 from evilH7451.
When a man'sH376 waysH1870 pleaseH7521 the LORDH3068, he maketh even his enemiesH341 to be at peaceH7999 with him.
BetterH2896 is a littleH4592 with righteousnessH6666 than greatH7230 revenuesH8393 without rightH4941.
A man'sH120 heartH3820 devisethH2803 his wayH1870: but the LORDH3068 directethH3559 his stepsH6806.
A divine sentenceH7081 is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 transgressethH4603 not in judgmentH4941. {A divine…: Heb. Divination}
A justH4941 weightH6425 and balanceH3976 are the LORD'SH3068: all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639. {the weights: Heb. the stones}
It is an abominationH8441 to kingsH4428 to commitH6213 wickednessH7562: for the throneH3678 is establishedH3559 by righteousnessH6666.
RighteousH6664 lipsH8193 are the delightH7522 of kingsH4428; and they loveH157 him that speakethH1696 rightH3477.
The wrathH2534 of a kingH4428 is as messengersH4397 of deathH4194: but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacifyH3722 it.
In the lightH216 of the king'sH4428 countenanceH6440 is lifeH2416; and his favourH7522 is as a cloudH5645 of the latter rainH4456.
How much betterH2896 is it to getH7069 wisdomH2451 than goldH2742! and to getH7069 understandingH998 rather to be chosenH977 than silverH3701!
The highwayH4546 of the uprightH3477 is to departH5493 from evilH7451: he that keepethH5341 his wayH1870 preservethH8104 his soulH5315.
PrideH1347 goeth beforeH6440 destructionH7667, and an haughtyH1363 spiritH7307 beforeH6440 a fallH3783.
BetterH2896 it is to be of an humbleH8217 spiritH7307 with the lowlyH6035+H6041, than to divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the proudH1343.
He that handleth a matterH1697 wiselyH7919 shall findH4672 goodH2896: and whoso trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, happyH835 is he. {handleth…: or, understandeth a matter}
The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 shall be calledH7121 prudentH995: and the sweetnessH4986 of the lipsH8193 increasethH3254 learningH3948.
UnderstandingH7922 is a wellspringH4726 of lifeH2416 unto him that hathH1167 it: but the instructionH4148 of foolsH191 is follyH200.
The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 teachethH7919 his mouthH6310, and addethH3254 learningH3948 to his lipsH8193. {teacheth: Heb. maketh wise}
PleasantH5278 wordsH561 are as an honeycombH6688+H1706, sweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and healthH4832 to the bonesH6106.
There isH3426 a wayH1870 that seemeth rightH3477 untoH6440 a manH376, but the endH319 thereof are the waysH1870 of deathH4194.
HeH5315 that labourethH6001 labourethH5998 for himself; for his mouthH6310 cravethH404 it of him. {He…: Heb. The soul of him that} {craveth…: Heb. boweth unto him}
An ungodlyH1100 manH376 diggeth upH3738 evilH7451: and in his lipsH8193 there is as a burningH6867 fireH784. {An…: Heb. A man of Belial}
A frowardH8419 manH376 sowethH7971 strifeH4066: and a whispererH5372 separatethH6504 chief friendsH441. {soweth: Heb. sendeth forth}
A violentH2555 manH376 enticethH6601 his neighbourH7453, and leadethH3212 him into the wayH1870 that is not goodH2896.
He shuttethH6095 his eyesH5869 to deviseH2803 froward thingsH8419: movingH7169 his lipsH8193 he bringethH3615 evilH7451 to passH3615.
The hoary headH7872 is a crownH5850 of gloryH8597, if it be foundH4672 in the wayH1870 of righteousnessH6666.
He that is slowH750 to angerH639 is betterH2896 than the mightyH1368; and he that rulethH4910 his spiritH7307 than he that takethH3920 a cityH5892.
The lotH1486 is castH2904 into the lapH2436; but the whole disposingH4941 thereof is of the LORDH3068.
