      20:003:023 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

      20:003:024 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

      20:003:025 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

      20:003:026 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

      20:003:027 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

      20:003:028 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

      20:003:029 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

      20:003:030 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

      20:003:032 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

      20:003:033 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

      20:003:034 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

      20:003:035 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

      20:004:001 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

      20:004:003 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

      20:004:004 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

      20:004:005 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

      20:004:006 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

      20:004:007 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

      20:004:008 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

      20:004:009 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

      20:004:010 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

      20:004:011 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

      20:004:012 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

      20:004:013 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

      20:004:014 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

      20:004:016 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

      20:004:017 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

      20:004:018 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

      20:004:019 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

      20:004:021 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

      20:004:022 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

      20:004:023 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

      20:004:024 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

      20:004:025 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

      20:004:026 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

      20:004:027 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

      20:005:001 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

      20:005:002 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

      20:005:003 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

      20:005:006 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

      20:005:007 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

      20:005:008 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

      20:005:009 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

      20:005:010 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

      20:005:011 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

      20:005:012 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

      20:005:013 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

      20:005:014 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

      20:005:015 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

      20:005:016 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

      20:005:020 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

      20:005:021 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

      20:005:022 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

      20:005:023 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

      20:006:001 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

      20:006:002 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
