Proverbs
1-4
Pro
1:1 The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
Pro
1:2 to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of
understanding;
Pro
1:3 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness,
justice, and equity;
Pro
1:4 to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the
young man:
Pro
1:5 that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the
man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
Pro
1:6 to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of
the wise.
Pro
1:7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the
foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
Pro
1:8 My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake
your mother's teaching:
Pro
1:9 for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around
your neck.
Pro
1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.
Pro
1:11 If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood;
let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
Pro
1:12 let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those
who go down into the pit.
Pro
1:13 We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with
spoil.
Pro
1:14 You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse."
Pro
1:15 My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from
their path,
Pro
1:16 for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
Pro
1:17 For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:
Pro
1:18 but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for
their own lives.
Pro
1:19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes
away the life of its owners.
Pro
1:20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the
public squares.
Pro
1:21 She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the
city gates, she utters her words:
Pro
1:22 "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How
long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate
knowledge?
Pro
1:23 Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I
will make known my words to you.
Pro
1:24 Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched
out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
Pro
1:25 but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my
reproof;
Pro
1:26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity
overtakes you;
Pro
1:27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster
comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.
Pro
1:28 Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will
seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
Pro
1:29 because they hated knowledge, and didn't choose the fear of
Yahweh.
Pro
1:30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
Pro
1:31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be
filled with their own schemes.
Pro
1:32 For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless
ease of fools will destroy them.
Pro
1:33 But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at
ease, without fear of harm."
Pro
2:1 My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my
commandments within you;
Pro
2:2 So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to
understanding;
Pro
2:3 Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for
understanding;
Pro
2:4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden
treasures:
Pro
2:5 then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the
knowledge of God.
Pro
2:6 For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and
understanding.
Pro
2:7 He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those
who walk in integrity;
Pro
2:8 that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of
his saints.
Pro
2:9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and
every good path.
Pro
2:10 For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be
pleasant to your soul.
Pro
2:11 Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
Pro
2:12 to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak
perverse things;
Pro
2:13 who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of
darkness;
Pro
2:14 who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of
evil;
Pro
2:15 who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths:
Pro
2:16 To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner
who flatters with her words;
Pro
2:17 who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant
of her God:
Pro
2:18 for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead.
Pro
2:19 None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the
paths of life:
Pro
2:20 that you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of
the righteous.
Pro
2:21 For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain
in it.
Pro
2:22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous
will be rooted out of it.
Pro
3:1 My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my
commandments:
Pro
3:2 for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add
to you.
Pro
3:3 Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your
neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Pro
3:4 So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of
God and man.
Pro
3:5 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own
understanding.
Pro
3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths
straight.
Pro
3:7 Don't be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from
evil.
Pro
3:8 It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
Pro
3:9 Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all
your increase:
Pro
3:10 so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will
overflow with new wine.
Pro
3:11 My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, neither be weary of
his reproof:
Pro
3:12 for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves
the son in whom he delights.
Pro
3:13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets
understanding.
Pro
3:14 For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her
return is better than fine gold.
Pro
3:15 She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can
desire are to be compared to her.
Pro
3:16 Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are
riches and honor.
Pro
3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
Pro
3:18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is
everyone who retains her.
Pro
3:19 By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he
established the heavens.
Pro
3:20 By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop
down the dew.
Pro
3:21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom
and discretion:
Pro
3:22 so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
Pro
3:23 Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won't
stumble.
Pro
3:24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie
down, and your sleep will be sweet.
Pro
3:25 Don't be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of
the wicked, when it comes:
Pro
3:26 for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot
from being taken.
Pro
3:27 Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in
the power of your hand to do it.
Pro
3:28 Don't say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again; tomorrow
I will give it to you," when you have it by you.
Pro
3:29 Don't devise evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells
securely by you.
Pro
3:30 Don't strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no
harm.
Pro
3:31 Don't envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
Pro
3:32 For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his
friendship is with the upright.
Pro
3:33 Yahweh's curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses
the habitation of the righteous.
Pro
3:34 Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
Pro
3:35 The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of
fools.
Pro
4:1 Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know
understanding;
Pro
4:2 for I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law.
Pro
4:3 For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the
sight of my mother.
Pro
4:4 He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my
words. Keep my commandments, and live.
Pro
4:5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, neither swerve from
the words of my mouth.
Pro
4:6 Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she
will keep you.
Pro
4:7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your
possessions, get understanding.
Pro
4:8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor,
when you embrace her.
Pro
4:9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver
a crown of splendor to you."
Pro
4:10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life
will be many.
Pro
4:11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in
straight paths.
Pro
4:12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you
will not stumble.
Pro
4:13 Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for
she is your life.
Pro
4:14 Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way
of evil men.
Pro
4:15 Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.
Pro
4:16 For they don't sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken
away, unless they make someone fall.
Pro
4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of
violence.
Pro
4:18 But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that
shines more and more until the perfect day.
Pro
4:19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what
they stumble over.
Pro
4:20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.
Pro
4:21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of
your heart.
Pro
4:22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their
whole body.
Pro
4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the
wellspring of life.
Pro
4:24 Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far
from you.
Pro
4:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly
before you.
Pro
4:26 Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be
established.
Pro
4:27 Don't turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot
from evil.

Ephesians
1
Eph 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the
saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Eph 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ;
Eph 1:4
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that
we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
Eph 1:5
having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ
to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Eph 1:6
to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed
favor on us in the Beloved,
Eph 1:7
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of
our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Eph 1:8
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Eph 1:9
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good
pleasure which he purposed in him
Eph 1:10
to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all
things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the
earth, in him;
Eph 1:11
in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been
foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things
after the counsel of his will;
Eph 1:12
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had
before hoped in Christ:
Eph 1:13
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News
of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed
with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own
possession, to the praise of his glory.
Eph 1:15
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus
which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the
saints,
Eph 1:16
don't cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
prayers,
Eph 1:17
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Eph 1:18
having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is
the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who
believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
Eph 1:20
which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made
him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21
far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is
to come.
Eph 1:22
He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be
head over all things for the assembly,
Eph 1:23
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
