Proverbs - Book of Wisdom ( II )

Book of Proverbs 6

16 These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to HIM :

17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,

18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,

19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

Book of Proverbs 30
15 The leech has two daughters - Give and Give !
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, "Enough !"

16 The grave, the barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water -
And the fire never says, "Enough !"

18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Yes, four which I do not understand :

19 The way of an eagle in the air,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin.(NKJV)


19 The way of an eagle in the sky,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship on the high seas,
And the way of a man with a maiden. (Revised Standard Version)

21 For three things the earth is perturbed,
Yes, for four it cannot bear up :

22 For a servant when he reigns,
A fool when he is filled with food,

23 A hateful woman when she is married,
And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.

24 There are four things which are little on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:

25 The ants are a people not strong,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

26 The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags;

27 The locusts have no king,
Yet they all advance in ranks;

28 The spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings' palaces. (NKJV)

28 The lizard you can take in your hands,
Yet it is in kings' palaces. (Revised Standard Version)


29 There are three things which are majestic in pace,
Yes, four which are stately in walk:

30 A lion which is mighty among beasts and does not turn away from any;
A greyhound,
A male goat also,
And a king whose troops are with him.
