Psa 11:1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. I sought refuge in Jehovah; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to your hill.
Psa 11:2 For behold! The wicked will tread the bow; they fixed their arrow on the string, in order to shoot with it at the upright of heart in the dark.
Psa 11:3 When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Psa 11:4 Jehovah is in His holy temple; Jehovah, His throne is in the heavens; His eyes see; His eyelids will examine the sons of man.
Psa 11:5 Jehovah tries the righteous, but His soul hates the wicked and the one loving violence.
Psa 11:6 He shall rain snares on the wicked; fire and brimstone and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 For Jehovah is righteous; He loves righteous deeds; the upright look upon His face.

Pro 10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

Pro 10:4 He who works with a lazy hand becomes poor, but the hand of the hard worker makes him rich.
Pro 10:5 He who gathers in summer is a prudent son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
Pro 10:6 Blessings are on the head of the just, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Pro 10:12 Hatred stirs up fights, but love covers all transgressions.
Pro 10:13 Wisdom is found in the lips of him who has understanding, but a rod is waiting for the back of him who lacks heart.
Pro 10:14 The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
Pro 10:15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
Pro 10:16 The labor of the righteous is for life; the gain of the wicked is for sin.
Pro 10:17 He who heeds instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses reproof is going astray.
Pro 10:18 He who hides hatred with lying lips, and he who sends out a slander, he is a fool.
Pro 10:19 In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, but one restraining his lips is prudent.
Pro 10:20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is as a little.
Pro 10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of heart.
Pro 10:22 The blessing of Jehovah, it makes rich, and he adds no pain with it.
Pro 10:23 To work out evil devices is as laughter to the foolish; so wisdom is to a man of understanding.
Pro 10:24 That which the wicked fears shall come upon him, but the desire of the righteous is granted.

Pro 9:1 Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars;
Pro 9:2 she has slaughtered her slaughter; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
Pro 9:3 She has sent out her maidens; she cries on the highest places of the city;
Pro 9:4 The simple one, turn in here; and to one lacking heart, she says to him,
Pro 9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Pro 9:6 Forsake the foolish, and live, and go in the way of understanding.
Pro 9:7 He who reproves a scorner gets shame to himself; and he who rebukes a wicked man gets his own blot.
Pro 9:8 Do not reprove a scorner, that he not hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Pro 9:9 Give to a wise one, and he will be more wise; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.
Pro 9:10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Pro 9:11 For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
Pro 9:12 If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself, but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
Pro 9:13 A foolish woman is noisy; she is thoughtless, and she knows not what.
Pro 9:14 And she sits at the door of her house, in a seat in the high places of the city,
Pro 9:15 to call those who pass by, who are going straight on their ways,
Pro 9:16 The simple one, let him turn in here; and to the one lacking heart, she says to him,
Pro 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Pro 9:18 But he does not know that the departed spirits are there; her guests are in the depths of hell.

Pro 8:1 Does not wisdom call? And does not understanding speak?
Pro 8:2 She stands in the top of high places, by the wayside, in the houses of the paths,
Pro 8:3 beside the gates; at the mouth of the city, at the doors, she cries.
Pro 8:4 I call to you, O men, and my voice is to the sons of men.
Pro 8:5 Understand wisdom, simple ones; and fools, be of an understanding heart.
Pro 8:6 Hear, for I will speak of excellent things, and from the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Pro 8:7 For my mouth shall speak of truth, and wickedness is hateful to my lips.
Pro 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; nothing crooked or perverse is in them;
Pro 8:9 they are all plain to the understanding one; and right to those who find knowledge.
Pro 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge, rather than choice gold.
Pro 8:11 For wisdom is better than jewels, and all delights cannot be compared to it.
Pro 8:12 I, wisdom, dwell with sense, and I find knowledge of discretions.
Pro 8:13 The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; I hate pride and loftiness, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
Pro 8:14 Counsel and sound wisdom are mine; I am understanding; I have strength.
Pro 8:15 By me kings reign, and leaders decree righteousness.
Pro 8:16 Rulers and nobles rule by me, and all the judges of the earth.
Pro 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me early find me.
Pro 8:18 Riches and honor are with me; enduring wealth and righteousness.
Pro 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my increase is better than the best silver.
Pro 8:20 I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice;
Pro 8:21 to cause those who love me to inherit wealth, and I will fill up their treasuries.
Pro 8:22 Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of His way, from then, before His works.
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from that which was before the earth.
Pro 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no springs heavy with water.
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth;
Pro 8:26 before He had made the earth and the fields, or the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pro 8:27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there; when He set a circle on the face of the deep,
Pro 8:28 when He formed the clouds above, when He made the strong fountains of the deep,
Pro 8:29 when He gave to the sea its limit, that the waters should not pass beyond His command; when He decreed the foundations of the earth,
Pro 8:30 then I was at His side, like a master workman; and I was His delights day by day, rejoicing before Him at every time;
Pro 8:31 rejoicing in the world, His earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
Pro 8:32 And now listen to me, O sons, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and do not refuse it.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is the man listening to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pro 8:35 For whoever finds me finds life, and he shall obtain favor from Jehovah.
Pro 8:36 But he who sins against me does violence to his own soul; all who hate me love death.

Pro 7:1 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
Pro 7:2 Keep my commands and live, and my law as the pupil of your eye.
Pro 7:3 Tie them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Pro 7:4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call understanding your kinsman,
Pro 7:5 so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the alien with her flattering words.
Pro 7:6 For I looked through my lattice, at the window of my house,
Pro 7:7 and I saw among the simple ones, I observed among the sons a young man lacking heart,
Pro 7:8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
Pro 7:9 in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and darkness of night.
Pro 7:10 And, behold, a woman came to meet him, with a harlot’s dress, and a guarded heart;
Pro 7:11 she is loud and stubborn; her feet do not rest in her own house.
Pro 7:12 At this time she is outside, now in the streets, and she lies in wait at every corner;
Pro 7:13 and she seizes him and kisses him; she hardens her face and says to him,
Pro 7:14 Sacrifices of peace offerings are on me, today I have completed my vows;
Pro 7:15 so I came out to meet you, earnestly to seek your face, and I have found you.
Pro 7:16 I have spread my couch with coverings, with striped cloths of Egyptian linen.
Pro 7:17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Pro 7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with caresses.
Pro 7:19 For my husband is not at his house; he is going in the way, far away.
Pro 7:20 He has taken a bag of silver in his hand; at the day of the full moon he will enter his house.
Pro 7:21 With the sum of her persuasion she turned him aside; with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
Pro 7:22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter; or as one in fetters goes to the correction of a fool,
Pro 7:23 until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.
Pro 7:24 Now, then, listen to me, O sons, and attend to the words of my mouth:
Pro 7:25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not go astray in her paths.
Pro 7:26 For many are the wounded she has caused to fall; and plentiful all her slain ones.
Pro 7:27 The ways of Sheol are in her house, leading down to the rooms of death.

Pro 6:1 My son, if you are surety for your friend, if you struck your hands with an alien,
Pro 6:2 you are snared with the words of your mouth; you are captured with the words of your own mouth.
Pro 6:3 My son, do this then, and deliver yourself when you come into the hand of your friend: go lower yourself and be bold to your friend.
Pro 6:4 Do not give sleep to your eyes, or slumber to your eyelids.
Pro 6:5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand of a hunter, and as a bird from the fowler’s hand.
Pro 6:6 Go to the ant, lazy man; consider her ways and be wise;
Pro 6:7 who, having no guide, overseer or ruler,
Pro 6:8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
Pro 6:9 How long will you lie down, O lazy man? When will you arise out of your sleep?
Pro 6:10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down;
Pro 6:11 so shall your poverty come as one walking, and your need like an armed man.
Pro 6:12 A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
Pro 6:13 winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, teaching with his fingers.
Pro 6:14 Perversity is in his heart; he is plotting evil at every time, he sends out strife.
Pro 6:15 On account of this, calamity shall come suddenly; he is broken quickly and there is no healing.
Pro 6:16 These six things Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul;
Pro 6:17 a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 a heart that plots evil plans, feet hurrying to run to mischief,
Pro 6:19 a false witness who breathes lies, and he who causes strife among brothers.
Pro 6:20 My son, keep your father’s commands, and do not forsake the law of your mother.
Pro 6:21 Bind them to your heart forever; tie them around your neck.
Pro 6:22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall watch over you; and when you awaken, it will meditate with you.
Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; and reproofs of instruction are a way of life,
Pro 6:24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of the strange woman.
Pro 6:25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, and do not let her take you with her eyelids.
Pro 6:26 For on account of a woman, a harlot, a man comes to the last loaf of bread, and another man’s wife hunts for the precious soul.
Pro 6:27 Can a man take fire into his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
Pro 6:28 Or can a man walk on hot coals and his feet not be burned?
Pro 6:29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; everyone touching her shall not be innocent.
Pro 6:30 They do not despise a thief, if he steals to fill his appetite when he is hungry.
Pro 6:31 But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house.
Pro 6:32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks heart; he who does it is a destroyer of his own soul.
Pro 6:33 He shall find a wound and dishonor, and his shame shall not be wiped away.
Pro 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Pro 6:35 He will not lift up the face of every ransom, nor will he consent if you multiply the bribes.

Pro 5:1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; stretch your ear to my understanding;
Pro 5:2 so that you may keep judgment, and your lips may keep knowledge.
Pro 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate is sweeter than oil,
Pro 5:4 but afterwards, she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a sword of mouths;
Pro 5:5 her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell,
Pro 5:6 lest you should meditate on the path of life, her tracks are movable, you cannot know them.
Pro 5:7 Then hear me now, O sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Pro 5:8 Remove your ways far from her, and do not come near to the door of her house,
Pro 5:9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel;
Pro 5:10 that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your labors be in the house of an alien,
Pro 5:11 and you moan when your end comes, when your flesh and muscle are eaten away;
Pro 5:12 and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;
Pro 5:13 and I have not heard the voice of my teachers, nor stretched my ear to those instructing me.
Pro 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Pro 5:15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
Pro 5:16 Should your overflowing springs be scattered outside, like rivers of waters in the streets?
Pro 5:17 Let them be only your own, and not to strangers with you;
Pro 5:18 let your fountains be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth;
Pro 5:19 she is a loving deer, a graceful doe; let her breasts satisfy you every time, and always be ravished in her love.
Pro 5:20 And my son, why will you be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace a foreigner’s bosom?
Pro 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and He ponders all his tracks.
Pro 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
Pro 5:23 He shall die without instruction, and in the greatness of his foolishness he shall go astray.

Jon 4:1 But it was a great calamity in Jonah’s sight, and it kindled anger in him.
Jon 4:2 And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, Please, O Jehovah, was this not my word while I was on my own land? On account of this, I fled to Tarshish before, for I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and One who repents over calamity.
Jon 4:3 And now, O Jehovah, please take my life from me. For better is my death than my life.
Jon 4:4 And Jehovah said, Is anger rightly kindled in you?
Jon 4:5 And Jonah went out from the city and sat on the east of the city. And he made there a booth for himself and sat under it in the shade until he should see what would happen in the city.
Jon 4:6 And Jehovah God appointed a plant, and it came up over Jonah to be shade over his head, in order to deliver him from his misery. And Jonah rejoiced over the plant with great joy.
Jon 4:7 But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it withered.
Jon 4:8 And it happened when the sun shone, God had appointed a scorching east wind; and the sun struck Jonah’s head, so that he fainted; and he asked for his life to die. And he said, Better is my death than my life.
Jon 4:9 And God said to Jonah, Is your anger rightly kindled over the plant? And he said, My anger is rightly kindled, even to death.
Jon 4:10 And Jehovah said, You have had pity on the plant for which you had not labored, nor made it grow, which was the son of a night and perished the son of a night,
Jon 4:11 and should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand of mankind who do not know between the right and the left hand, and many cattle?

Jon 3:1 And the Word of Jehovah was to Jonah the second time, saying,
Jon 3:2 Rise up, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry out to it the proclamation that I am declaring to you.
Jon 3:3 And Jonah rose up and went to Nineveh according to the Word of Jehovah. And Nineveh was a great city to God, of three days’ journey.
Jon 3:4 And Jonah began to enter a day’s journey into the city. And he cried out and said, Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overturned!
Jon 3:5 And the men of Nineveh believed in God, and they called a fast and put on sackclothes, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jon 3:6 And the word touched even to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he took his robe from him and covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.
Jon 3:7 And he cried and said in Nineveh by the decree of the king and of his great ones, saying, Do not let man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them feed nor let them drink water.
Jon 3:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. And let them call with strength to God. And let them each one turn from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Jon 3:9 Who knows? He may turn, and God may have pity and turn away from the glow of His anger, that we do not perish.
Jon 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. And God was compassionate over the evil that He had spoken to do to them, and He did not do it.

Jon 2:1 And Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the belly of the fish.
Jon 2:2 And he said, I cried out to Jehovah from my distress. And He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, and You heard my voice.
Jon 2:3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current surrounded me; all Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.
Jon 2:4 And I said, I am cast off from Your eyes; yet I will again look to Your holy temple.
Jon 2:5 Waters encompassed me, even to my soul; the depth closed around me; seaweed was clinging to my head.
Jon 2:6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever. But You brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
Jon 2:7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came to You, to Your holy temple.
Jon 2:8 Those who observe vanities of idolatry forsake their faithfulness;
Jon 2:9 but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Jehovah!
Jon 2:10 And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.
