Proverbs 1:1-33
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding,To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice, and integrity;To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,A wise person will hear and increase in learning, And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,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.Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, And do not ignore your mother’s teaching;For they are a graceful wreath for your head And necklaces for your neck.My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.If they say,“ Come with us, Let’s lie in wait for blood, Let’s ambush the innocent without cause;Let’s swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, like those who go down to the pit;We will find all kinds of precious wealth, We will fill our houses with plunder;Throw in your lot with us; We will all have one money bag,”My son, do not walk on the way with them. Keep your feet from their path,For their feet run to evil, And they are quick to shed blood.Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird;But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.Such are the ways of everyone who makes unjust gain; It takes away the life of its possessors.Wisdom shouts in the street, She raises her voice in the public square;At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she declares her sayings:“ How long, you naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking? And how long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?Turn to my rebuke, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;And you neglected all my advice And did not want my rebuke;I will also laugh at your disaster; I will mock when your dread comes,When your dread comes like a storm And your disaster comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.Then they will call on 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.They did not accept my advice, They disdainfully rejected every rebuke from me.So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own schemes.For the faithlessness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.But whoever listens to me will live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”

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 the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.A satisfied person despises honey, But to a hungry person any bitter thing is sweet.Like a bird that wanders from its nest, So is a person who wanders from his home.Oil and perfume make the heart glad, And a person’s advice is sweet to his friend.Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend, And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, So that I may reply to one who taunts me.A prudent person sees evil and hides himself; But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.Take his garment when he becomes a guarantor for a stranger; And for a foreign woman seize a pledge from him.One who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be considered a curse to him.A constant dripping on a day of steady rain And a contentious woman are alike;He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another.One who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, And one who cares for his master will be honored.As in water a face reflects the face, So the heart of a person reflects the person.Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of a person ever satisfied.The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.Though you pound the fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, His foolishness still will not leave him.Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field,And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your attendants.The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion.Due to a wrongdoing of a land its leaders are many, But by a person of understanding and knowledge, so it endures.A poor man who oppresses the helpless Is like a driving rain which leaves no food.Those who abandon the Law praise the wicked, But those who keep the Law strive against them.Evil people do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand everything.Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity, Than a person who is crooked, though he is rich.He who keeps the Law is a discerning son, But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.One who increases his wealth by interest of any kind, Collects it for one who is gracious to the poor.One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law, Even his prayer is an abomination.One who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit, But the blameless will inherit good.The rich person is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding sees through him.When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, But when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.One who conceals his wrongdoings will not prosper, But one who confesses and abandons them will find compassion.How blessed is the person who fears always, But one who hardens his heart will fall into disaster.Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear Is a wicked ruler over a poor people.A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, But a person who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.A person who is burdened with the guilt of human blood Will be a fugitive until death; no one is to support him!One who walks blamelessly will receive help, But one who is crooked will fall all at once.One who works his land will have plenty of food, But one who follows empty pursuits will have plenty of poverty.A faithful person will abound with blessings, But one who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.A person with an evil eye hurries after wealth And does not know that poverty will come upon him.One who rebukes a person will afterward find more favor Than one who flatters with the tongue.He who robs his father or his mother And says,“ There is no wrong done,” Is the companion of a person who destroys.An arrogant person stirs up strife, But one who trusts in the Lord will prosper.One who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But one who walks wisely will flee to safety.One who gives to the poor will never lack anything, But one who shuts his eyes will have many curses.When the wicked rise, people hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.

Now in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, men from the elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,“ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them,‘ This is what the Lord God says:“ Do you yourselves come to inquire of Me? As I live,” declares the Lord God,“ I certainly will not be inquired of by you.” ’

Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom over to David, the son of Jesse.
