1
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou
knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let
another man praise thee, and not thine own
mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A
stone is heavy, and the sand
weighty; but a fool's wrath is
heavier than them both.
4
Wrath is cruel, and anger is
outrageous; but who is able to
stand before envy?
5
Open rebuke is better than secret
love.
6
Faithful are the wounds of a
friend; but the kisses of an enemy are
deceitful.
7 The
full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the
hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As
a bird that wandereth from her nest, so
is a man that wandereth from his place.
9
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so
doth the sweetness of a man's
friend by hearty counsel.
10
Thine own friend, and thy father's friend,
forsake not; neither go into thy brother's
house in the day of thy calamity: for
better is a neighbour that is
near than a brother far off.
Prov 17:17 A friend
loveth at all times, and a brother is born
for adversity.
Ruth 1:16
Wherefore is there a price in the
hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he
hath no heart to it?
11
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
Psalms 127:5
Happy is the man that hath his
quiver full of them: they shall not be
ashamed, but they shall speak with the
enemies in the gate.
Job 5:4
His children are far from safety, and they
are crushed in the gate, neither is
there any to deliver them.
12 A
prudent man foreseeth the evil,
and hideth himself; but the
simple pass on, and are punished.
13
Take his garment that is surety for a
stranger, and take a pledge of him for a
strange woman.
14
He that blesseth his friend with a loud
voice, rising early in the morning, it shall
be counted a curse to him.
15 A
continual dropping in a very rainy day and a
contentious woman are alike.
16
Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and
the ointment of his right hand, which
bewrayeth itself.
17
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth
the countenance of his friend.
18
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the
fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his
master shall be honoured.
1 Cor 9:7 Who goeth a
warfare any time at his own charges? who
planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the
fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and
eateth not of the milk of the flock?
2 Cor 10:4 For
the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty through God to the
pulling down of strong holds;

thee, son Timothy, according to the
prophecies which went before on thee, that
thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
Duet 20:6 And what man is he that
hath planted a vineyard, and hath not
yet eaten of it? let him also
go and return unto his house, lest he die in
the battle, and another man eat of it.
John 21:15 So when they had dined,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?
He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.
1 Pet 5:2 Feed the flock of God
which is among you, taking the oversight
thereof, not by constraint, but
willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a
ready mind;
19
As in water face answereth to face,
so the heart of man to man.
20
Hell and destruction are never full; so the
eyes of man are never satisfied.
Hab 2:5 Yea also,
because he transgresseth by wine, he is
a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who
enlargeth his desire as hell, and is
as death, and cannot be satisfied, but
gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth
unto him all people:
21 As the fining pot for silver, and
the furnace for gold; so is a man
to his praise.

silver, and the furnace for gold: but the
LORD trieth the hearts.

the LORD looketh on the heart.
1 Chron 28:9
And thou, Solomon
my son, know thou the God of thy father, and
serve him with a perfect heart and with a
willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all
hearts, and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek
him, he will be found of thee; but if thou
forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Oh let
the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;
but establish the just: for the righteous
God trieth the hearts and reins.

way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.

for silver, and the furnace for gold: but

according to his work.

to every man according to his deeds:

in a mortar among wheat with a pestle,
yet will not his foolishness depart
from him.

are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou
hast stricken them, but they have not
grieved; thou hast consumed them, but
they have refused to receive correction:
they have made their faces harder than a
rock; they have refused to return.
2 Chron 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to shew himself
strong in the behalf of them whose
heart is perfect toward him. Herein
thou hast done foolishly: therefore from
henceforth thou shalt have wars.
Isaiah 1:5 Why should ye be stricken
any more? ye will revolt more and more: the
whole head is sick, and the whole heart
faint.

unto him that smiteth them, neither do they
seek the LORD of hosts.

is cut off from their mouth.

flocks, and look well to thy herds.

doth the crown endure to every
generation?

sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains
are gathered.

a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for

field.

enough for thy food, for the food of thy
household, and for the maintenance
for thy maidens.
