How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.





Proverbs 6:9-11
King James Bible

a little folding of the hands

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.






Proverbs 26:4-7
King James Bible

and drinketh damage.

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.



Proverbs 9:10-12
King James Bible

thou alone shalt bear it.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.





Proverbs 16:18-20
King James Bible

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.





Proverbs 9:1-6
King James Bible

go in the way

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.




Proverbs 2:7
Proverbs 3:21
Proverbs 8:14
King James Bible

sound wisdom

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.



Proverbs 21:9
Proverbs 21:19
Proverbs 27:15
Proverbs 17:1
Proverbs 25:24
King James Bible

in a wide house

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.





Proverbs 19:1-6
King James Bible

man doth not live by bread only,

and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.





Proverbs 6:12-25
King James Bible

And I will give children to be their princes,

and forsake not the law of thy mother

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.








Proverbs 25:2-7
King James Bible

Come up hither;

in the presence of the prince

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
