Proverbs 10:7–9

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.

¹⁸Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

²⁶Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

¹⁵He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

¹⁶He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

⁵Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

²⁵Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

¹IN the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

²For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

²³Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

²⁰He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

¹³And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

¹⁴But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
