And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Answer 130

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

Answer 131

A

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

Answer 134

A

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.

Answer 135

A

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

Answer 136

A

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Answer 137

A

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

Answer 138

A

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Answer 139

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Answer 140

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

A

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Answer 147

A

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

Answer 148

A

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

Answer 149

A

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

Answer 150

A

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

Answer 151

A

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

Answer 152

A

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

Answer 153

A

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

Answer 154

A

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

Answer 155

A

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

Answer 156

A

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

Answer 157

A

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

Answer 158

A

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

Answer 159

A

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

Answer 160

A

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

Answer 161

A

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

Answer 162

A

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

Answer 163

A

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

Answer 164

A

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

Answer 165

A

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

Answer 166

A

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

Answer 167

A

Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

Answer 168

A

Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

Answer 169

A

So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

Answer 170

A

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

Answer 171

A

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

Answer 172

A

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

Answer 173

A

A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

Answer 174

A

For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

Answer 175

A

He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Answer 176

A

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Answer 177

A

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Answer 178

A

Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

Answer 179

A

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

Answer 180

A

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

Answer 181

A

For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

Answer 182

A

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

Answer 183

A

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

Answer 184

A

In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

Answer 185

A

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

Answer 186

A

(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

Answer 187

A

Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

Answer 188

A

So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

Answer 189

A

I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

Answer 190

A

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

Answer 191

A

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

Answer 192

A

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Answer 193

A

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Answer 194

A

For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

Answer 195

A

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

Answer 196

A

With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

Answer 197

A

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Answer 198

A

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Answer 199

A

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Answer 200

A

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Answer 201

A

For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

Answer 202

A

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Answer 203

A

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

Answer 204

A

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

Answer 205

A

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

Answer 206

A

Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

Answer 207

A

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Answer 208

A

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Answer 209

A

For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Answer 210

A

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

Answer 211

A

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

Answer 212

A

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

Answer 213

A

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Answer 214

A

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Answer 215

A

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Answer 216

A

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

Answer 217

A

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

Answer 225

A

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Answer 226

A

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

Answer 227

A

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

Answer 228

A

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

Answer 229

A

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

Answer 230

A

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

Answer 231

A

When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Answer 232

A

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Answer 233

A

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

Answer 234

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
