Proverbs Chapter 4

 

1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

Psalms 34:11  Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Prov 1:8  My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

1 Chr 29:1  Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

1 Chr 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.

Eph 6:4  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Prov 7:2  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

Prov 2:2-3
2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

2 Thes 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Matt 13:44   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Luke  10:42  But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

1 Samuel 2:30  Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

Prov
1:9  For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
3:22  So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

Prov 3:2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

Psalm
18:36  Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
91:11
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
91:
12
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

Psalm 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

P
rov 1:10-15  10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

Psalm 36:4  He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Isaiah 57:20  But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Matt 5:14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Phil 2:15  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

2 Sam 23:4  And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

1 Sam 2:9  He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

Job 18:5-6
5
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

Prov 3:3,21
3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
21  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Prov 2:1  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Prov
3:8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
12:18  There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.


26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Duet
5:32  Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
28:14  And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Joshua 1:7  Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Isaiah 1:16  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
