Proverbs 1:1-33
The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight,to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth—Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching,for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.If they say,“ Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason;like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder;throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”—my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths,for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice;at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:“ How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you,when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord,would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof,therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them;but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.”

Job 33:14-16

Proverbs 27:1-28:28
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?Better is open rebuke than hidden love.Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an adulteress.Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike;to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man.The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds,for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field.There will be enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food.Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them.Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father.Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.If one is burdened with the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death; let no one help him.Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.To show partiality is not good, but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue.Whoever robs his father or his mother and says,“ That is no transgression,” is a companion to a man who destroys.A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched.Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.

In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and sat before me.And the word of the Lord came to me:“ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God, Is it to inquire of me that you come? As I live, declares the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.

1 Chronicles 10 13-1 Chronicles 10 14
So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance.He did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
