Book of Proverbs, Select Scriptures

This is the home or beginning page. I have selected some scriptures from the book of Proverbs from the King James Holy Bible to add to this site. I like Proverbs because it is practical advice for getting along in the world as a believer. I think if you read it and practice the principles of it, you will learn GOD's perspective on many topics. Read and learn the wisdom of Solomon from The King James Holy Bible!


Remember the words of Proverbs are written by Solomon, the King who was the son of David, who was the King of Israel. All the monotheistic religions recognize King David and King Solomon. Also remember that what Solomon asked GOD for after GOD told him to ask was wisdom and the words of Proverbs are the wisdom given him by GOD.

I know Solomon was a man, and King but I selected the rose bouquet background because I am a woman, and because I like roses.Also, because the red rose is a symbol of life that I often incorporate into my works. It is to remind you that women may also learn wisdom and the principles of GOD and increase their blessings also. Yes, I know the roses in this are pink! I love all roses, white, red, pink, yellow, almond colored, etc,etc,etc.

From the King James Holy Bible:

""Open thy mouth for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and the needy." Proverbs 31: 8-9 [my note: these scriptures compel me to be prolife.]

"The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, King of Israel; to know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and equity; to give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. To understand a proverb, and the interpretation, the words of the wise and their dark sayings, the fear of THE LORD {GOD} is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1: 1-7

GOD said, "because I have called and ye refused; I have stretched out MY hand and no man regarded; but ye have set at nought MY counsel, and would [have] none of MY reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh, when your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon ME but I will not answer; they shall seek ME early, but they shall not find ME. For that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of THE LORD; they would none of MY counsel; they despised all of MY reproof. Therefore shall they eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. BUT whosoever hearkeneth unto ME, shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil." Proverbs 1:24-33

"For THE LORD giveth wisdom; out of HIS mouth, cometh knowledge and understanding. HE layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous; HE is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. HE keepeth the paths of judgement, and preserveth the way of HIS saints." Proverbs 2: 6-8

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Trust in THE LORD with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge HIM and HE shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear THE LORD [GOD] and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones. Honour THE LORD {GOD} with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase; so shall thy barns be filled with plenty. . . "Proverbs 3: 5-10a

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
". . . despise not the chastening of THE LORD; neither be weary of of HIS correction; for whom THE LORD loveth, HE correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." Proverbs 3: 11-12

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
". ..keep sound wisdom and discretion; so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; yea, thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For THE LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. " Proverbs 3: 21c-26
"Envy thou not the oppressor,and choose none of his ways. For the froward is abomination to THE LORD, but HIS secret is with the righteous. The curse of THE LORD is in the house of the wicked; but HE blesseth the habitation of the just. Surely HE scorneth the scorners; but HE giveth grace unto the lowly. The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools. " Proverbs 3: 31-35

"Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it [the path of the wicked], pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away [from it]. . . but the path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble. . . attend to my words, incline thine ear unto my sayings; let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. Put away a froward mouth and perverse lips put far from thee. " Proverbs 4:14,15,18-23
