Proverbs 1.
1 Wise sayings of Solomon ben David, Israel’s king:
2 To know wisdom and discipline. To recognize wise speech.
3 To learn how to think in terms of rightness, justice, and fairness.
4 To give cleverness to the naïve, discernment and purpose to the young.
5 The wise must listen and add to their learning, and an attentive person must get good advice.
6 To pay attention to a wise saying, satire, sages’ words, and puzzles.
7 Revering the LORD is how we begin to know wisdom.
Discipline? The stupid have no respect for it.
8 My son, hear your father’s restraint. Don’t put aside your mother’s Law.
9 For they’re a wreath of favor on your head, a necklace for your neck.
10 My son, when sinners try to convince you, don’t agree.
11 When they say, “Come with us—we’ll ambush for blood! We’ll hide out from the innocent for fun.
12 We’ll swallow their lives like the afterlife—and whole, like those who fall down a well.
13 We’ll find every kind of precious wealth. We’ll fill our houses with loot.
14 Throw in your chip with us! One purse will be divided among us all.”
15 My son, don’t walk in their direction. Keep your feet away from their path.
16 For their feet will run towards evil. They’ll quickly come to spill blood.
17 For, throwing out nets at nothing, at the sight of every leader’s wing,
18 they’ll ambush for their own blood. They’ll hide out from their own souls.
19 This is the journey of everything ripped off:
It’ll rip off your soul, and take from its leaders.
Proverbs 3.
33 The LORD curses the wicked’s house. He blesses the righteous’s home.
34 If the LORD scoffs, it’s toward scoffers. If he gives grace, it’s to the lowly.
Proverbs 6.
6 Slacker, go to an ant, see her ways, and wise up.
7 She has no ruler, supervisor, nor queen.
8 She prepares in summer. She gathers bread at harvest for her food.
9 Slacker, how long do you lie down? When do you get up from sleep?
10 Short sleep. Short breaks. Short folding-hands-to-lie-down.
11 Your poverty and need are coming to you like an armed man.
Proverbs 10.

Proverbs 20.
7 One who walks in integrity is a righteous person. After that person comes happy children.
Proverbs 22.
1 Choose a name over choosing great wealth, good favor over silver and over gold.
2 A wealthy person and poor person meet each other: The LORD made them all.
3 A clever person sees evil and hides; a dummy goes right into it, and pays for it.
4 The result of humility is respect for the LORD, wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorny traps are by the twisted path: One who watches their soul is far away from it.
6 Train a child about their path’s route. Though they grow old, they ought not turn from wisdom.
7 A rich person dominates a poor person: A slave is attached to a person through indebtedness.
Proverbs 24.
15 Don’t plan a wicked ambush at the home of a righteous person. Don’t ruin his resting place.
16 A righteous person might fall and rise seven times. A wicked person falls into evil.
Proverbs 26.
1 Snow in summer, rain during harvest:
Honor on fools isn’t right either.
4 Don’t respond to a fool’s foolishness, lest you be compared to them.
5 Respond to a fool’s foolishness, lest they become wise in their own eyes.
