Proverbs 10:6–8

²And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

²⁰A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

¹³The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

¹¹The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

²⁵But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

¹⁶The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

¹⁷But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

¹⁸The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

⁸Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.

²⁶He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

⁴²The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

¹⁹Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

⁶Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

⁴⁸For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

⁹Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

¹³Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹⁶And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.

¹⁵Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁷His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

⁵Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

⁶O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

³⁶And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

³⁴For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

¹⁰And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.

²³Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

¹³O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

²⁴¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

²⁵And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

¹³Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

¹WHOSO loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

⁹Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

³⁴Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

¹²The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

⁵A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

³He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

⁶A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

⁷A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

¹³The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

²³In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

⁸The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
