    Psalm 144

    Audio link ;

    [url]https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Ps.144

    1
    Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
    who trains my hands for war,
    my fingers for battle.
    2
    He is my loving God and my fortress,
    my stronghold and my deliverer,
    my shield, in whom I take refuge,
    who subdues peoples under me.
    3
    Lord, what are human beings that you care for them,
    mere mortals that you think of them?
    4
    They are like a breath;
    their days are like a fleeting shadow.
    5
    Part your heavens, Lord, and come down;
    touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
    6
    Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy;
    shoot your arrows and rout them.
    7
    Reach down your hand from on high;
    deliver me and rescue me
    from the mighty waters,
    from the hands of foreigners
    8
    whose mouths are full of lies,
    whose right hands are deceitful.
    9
    I will sing a new song to you, my God;
    on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
    10
    to the One who gives victory to kings,
    who delivers his servant David.
    From the deadly sword 11 deliver me;
    rescue me from the hands of foreigners
    whose mouths are full of lies,
    whose right hands are deceitful.
    12
    Then our sons in their youth
    will be like well-nurtured plants,
    and our daughters will be like pillars
    carved to adorn a palace.
    13
    Our barns will be filled
    with every kind of provision.
    Our sheep will increase by thousands,
    by tens of thousands in our fields;
    14
    our oxen will draw heavy loads.
    There will be no breaching of walls,
    no going into captivity,
    no cry of distress in our streets.
    15
    Blessed is the people of whom this is true;
    blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.

    Psalm 145

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Ps.145

    A psalm of praise. Of David.

    1
    I will exalt you, my God the King;
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
    2
    Every day I will praise you
    and extol your name for ever and ever.

    3
    Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
    4
    One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
    5
    They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
    6
    They tell of the power of your awesome works—
    and I will proclaim your great deeds.
    7
    They celebrate your abundant goodness
    and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

    8
    The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
    slow to anger and rich in love.

    9
    The Lord is good to all;
    he has compassion on all he has made.
    10
    All your works praise you, Lord;
    your faithful people extol you.
    11
    They tell of the glory of your kingdom
    and speak of your might,
    12
    so that all people may know of your mighty acts
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
    13
    Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures through all generations.

    The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
    and faithful in all he does.
    14
    The Lord upholds all who fall
    and lifts up all who are bowed down.
    15
    The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food at the proper time.
    16
    You open your hand
    and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

    17
    The Lord is righteous in all his ways
    and faithful in all he does.
    18
    The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
    19
    He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
    he hears their cry and saves them.
    20
    The Lord watches over all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.

    21
    My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
    Let every creature praise his holy name
    for ever and ever.

    Psalm 146

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Ps.146

    Praise the Lord.

    Praise the Lord, my soul.

    2
    I will praise the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
    3
    Do not put your trust in princes,
    in human beings, who cannot save.
    4
    When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.
    5
    Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.

    6
    He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
    the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful forever.
    7
    He upholds the cause of the oppressed
    and gives food to the hungry.
    The Lord sets prisoners free,
    8
    the Lord gives sight to the blind,
    the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
    the Lord loves the righteous.
    9
    The Lord watches over the foreigner
    and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

    10
    The Lord reigns forever,
    your God, O Zion, for all generations.

    Praise the Lord.

    Psalm 147

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Ps.147

    Praise the Lord.

    How good it is to sing praises to our God,
    how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

    2
    The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
    he gathers the exiles of Israel.
    3
    He heals the brokenhearted
    and binds up their wounds.
    4
    He determines the number of the stars
    and calls them each by name.
    5
    Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
    his understanding has no limit.
    6
    The Lord sustains the humble
    but casts the wicked to the ground.

    7
    Sing to the Lord with grateful praise;
    make music to our God on the harp.

    8
    He covers the sky with clouds;
    he supplies the earth with rain
    and makes grass grow on the hills.
    9
    He provides food for the cattle
    and for the young ravens when they call.

    10
    His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
    11
    the Lord delights in those who fear him,
    who put their hope in his unfailing love.

    12
    Extol the Lord, Jerusalem;
    praise your God, Zion.

    13
    He strengthens the bars of your gates
    and blesses your people within you.
    14
    He grants peace to your borders
    and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.

    15
    He sends his command to the earth;
    his word runs swiftly.
    16
    He spreads the snow like wool
    and scatters the frost like ashes.
    17
    He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
    Who can withstand his icy blast?
    18
    He sends his word and melts them;
    he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.

    19
    He has revealed his word to Jacob,
    his laws and decrees to Israel.
    20
    He has done this for no other nation;
    they do not know his laws.

    Praise the Lord.

    Psalm 148

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Ps.148

    Praise the Lord.

    Praise the Lord from the heavens;
    praise him in the heights above.
    2
    Praise him, all his angels;
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
    3
    Praise him, sun and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
    4
    Praise him, you highest heavens
    and you waters above the skies.

    5
    Let them praise the name of the Lord,
    for at his command they were created,
    6
    and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree that will never pass away.

    7
    Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
    8
    lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,
    9
    you mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars,
    10
    wild animals and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
    11
    kings of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
    12
    young men and women,
    old men and children.

    13
    Let them praise the name of the Lord,
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
    14
    And he has raised up for his people a horn,
    the praise of all his faithful servants,
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.

    Praise the Lord.

    Psalm 149

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Ps.149

    Praise the Lord.

    Sing to the Lord a new song,
    his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

    2
    Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
    let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
    3
    Let them praise his name with dancing
    and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
    4
    For the Lord takes delight in his people;
    he crowns the humble with victory.
    5
    Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
    and sing for joy on their beds.

    6
    May the praise of God be in their mouths
    and a double-edged sword in their hands,
    7
    to inflict vengeance on the nations
    and punishment on the peoples,
    8
    to bind their kings with fetters,
    their nobles with shackles of iron,
    9
    to carry out the sentence written against them—
    this is the glory of all his faithful people.

    Praise the Lord.

    Praise the Lord.

    Proverbs 1

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.1

    The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

    2
    for gaining wisdom and instruction;
    for understanding words of insight;
    3
    for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
    doing what is right and just and fair;
    4
    for giving prudence to those who are simple,
    knowledge and discretion to the young—
    5
    let the wise listen and add to their learning,
    and let the discerning get guidance—
    6
    for understanding proverbs and parables,
    the sayings and riddles of the wise.

    7
    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
    but fools[c] despise wisdom and instruction.
    Prologue: Exhortations to Embrace Wisdom
    Warning Against the Invitation of Sinful Men

    8
    Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction
    and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
    9
    They are a garland to grace your head
    and a chain to adorn your neck.

    10
    My son, if sinful men entice you,
    do not give in to them.
    11
    If they say, “Come along with us;
    let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
    let’s ambush some harmless soul;
    12
    let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,
    and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
    13
    we will get all sorts of valuable things
    and fill our houses with plunder;
    14
    cast lots with us;
    we will all share the loot”—
    15
    my son, do not go along with them,
    do not set foot on their paths;
    16
    for their feet rush into evil,
    they are swift to shed blood.
    17
    How useless to spread a net
    where every bird can see it!
    18
    These men lie in wait for their own blood;
    they ambush only themselves!
    19
    Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
    it takes away the life of those who get it.
    Wisdom’s Rebuke

    20
    Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,
    she raises her voice in the public square;
    21
    on top of the wall she cries out,
    at the city gate she makes her speech:

    22
    “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate knowledge?
    23
    Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
    24
    But since you refuse to listen when I call
    and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
    25
    since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
    26
    I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
    I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
    27
    when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

    28
    “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
    they will look for me but will not find me,
    29
    since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.
    30
    Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,
    31
    they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
    32
    For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
    33
    but whoever listens to me will live in safety
    and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

    Proverbs 2

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.2

    My son, if you accept my words
    and store up my commands within you,
    2
    turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding—
    3
    indeed, if you call out for insight
    and cry aloud for understanding,
    4
    and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,
    5
    then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
    6
    For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
    7
    He holds success in store for the upright,
    he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
    8
    for he guards the course of the just
    and protects the way of his faithful ones.

    9
    Then you will understand what is right and just
    and fair—every good path.
    10
    For wisdom will enter your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
    11
    Discretion will protect you,
    and understanding will guard you.

    12
    Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
    from men whose words are perverse,
    13
    who have left the straight paths
    to walk in dark ways,
    14
    who delight in doing wrong
    and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
    15
    whose paths are crooked
    and who are devious in their ways.

    16
    Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
    from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
    17
    who has left the partner of her youth
    and ignored the covenant she made before God.
    18
    Surely her house leads down to death
    and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
    19
    None who go to her return
    or attain the paths of life.

    20
    Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
    21
    For the upright will live in the land,
    and the blameless will remain in it;
    22
    but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
    and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

    Proverbs 3

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.3

    My son, do not forget my teaching,
    but keep my commands in your heart,
    2
    for they will prolong your life many years
    and bring you peace and prosperity.

    3
    Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
    4
    Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.

    5
    Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
    6
    in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

    7
    Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and shun evil.
    8
    This will bring health to your body
    and nourishment to your bones.

    9
    Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the firstfruits of all your crops;
    10
    then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
    and your vats will brim over with new wine.

    11
    My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not resent his rebuke,
    12
    because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
    as a father the son he delights in.

    13
    Blessed are those who find wisdom,
    those who gain understanding,
    14
    for she is more profitable than silver
    and yields better returns than gold.
    15
    She is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.
    16
    Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are riches and honor.
    17
    Her ways are pleasant ways,
    and all her paths are peace.
    18
    She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;
    those who hold her fast will be blessed.

    19
    By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,
    by understanding he set the heavens in place;
    20
    by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,
    and the clouds let drop the dew.

    21
    My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
    preserve sound judgment and discretion;
    22
    they will be life for you,
    an ornament to grace your neck.
    23
    Then you will go on your way in safety,
    and your foot will not stumble.
    24
    When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
    25
    Have no fear of sudden disaster
    or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
    26
    for the Lord will be at your side
    and will keep your foot from being snared.

    27
    Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    when it is in your power to act.
    28
    Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
    when you already have it with you.
    29
    Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
    who lives trustfully near you.
    30
    Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
    when they have done you no harm.

    31
    Do not envy the violent
    or choose any of their ways.

    32
    For the Lord detests the perverse
    but takes the upright into his confidence.
    33
    The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
    but he blesses the home of the righteous.
    34
    He mocks proud mockers
    but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
    35
    The wise inherit honor,
    but fools get only shame.

    Proverbs 4

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.4

    Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
    pay attention and gain understanding.
    2
    I give you sound learning,
    so do not forsake my teaching.
    3
    For I too was a son to my father,
    still tender, and cherished by my mother.
    4
    Then he taught me, and he said to me,
    “Take hold of my words with all your heart;
    keep my commands, and you will live.
    5
    Get wisdom, get understanding;
    do not forget my words or turn away from them.
    6
    Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
    love her, and she will watch over you.
    7
    The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
    Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
    8
    Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
    embrace her, and she will honor you.
    9
    She will give you a garland to grace your head
    and present you with a glorious crown.”

    10
    Listen, my son, accept what I say,
    and the years of your life will be many.
    11
    I instruct you in the way of wisdom
    and lead you along straight paths.
    12
    When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
    when you run, you will not stumble.
    13
    Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
    guard it well, for it is your life.
    14
    Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
    or walk in the way of evildoers.
    15
    Avoid it, do not travel on it;
    turn from it and go on your way.
    16
    For they cannot rest until they do evil;
    they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
    17
    They eat the bread of wickedness
    and drink the wine of violence.

    18
    The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
    shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
    19
    But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
    they do not know what makes them stumble.

    20
    My son, pay attention to what I say;
    turn your ear to my words.
    21
    Do not let them out of your sight,
    keep them within your heart;
    22
    for they are life to those who find them
    and health to one’s whole body.
    23
    Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.
    24
    Keep your mouth free of perversity;
    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
    25
    Let your eyes look straight ahead;
    fix your gaze directly before you.
    26
    Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
    and be steadfast in all your ways.
    27
    Do not turn to the right or the left;
    keep your foot from evil.

    Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
    pay attention and gain understanding.
    2
    I give you sound learning,
    so do not forsake my teaching.
    3
    For I too was a son to my father,
    still tender, and cherished by my mother.

    5
    My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
    turn your ear to my words of insight,
    2
    that you may maintain discretion
    and your lips may preserve knowledge.
    3
    For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
    and her speech is smoother than oil;
    4
    but in the end she is bitter as gall,
    sharp as a double-edged sword.
    5
    Her feet go down to death;
    her steps lead straight to the grave.
    6
    She gives no thought to the way of life;
    her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
    7
    Now then, my sons, listen to me;
    do not turn aside from what I say.
    8
    Keep to a path far from her,
    do not go near the door of her house,
    9
    lest you lose your honor to others
    and your dignity to one who is cruel,
    10
    lest strangers feast on your wealth
    and your toil enrich the house of another.
    11
    At the end of your life you will groan,
    when your flesh and body are spent.
    12
    You will say, “How I hated discipline!
    How my heart spurned correction!
    13
    I would not obey my teachers
    or turn my ear to my instructors.
    14
    And I was soon in serious trouble
    in the assembly of God’s people.”
    15
    Drink water from your own cistern,
    running water from your own well.
    16
    Should your springs overflow in the streets,
    your streams of water in the public squares?
    17
    Let them be yours alone,
    never to be shared with strangers.
    18
    May your fountain be blessed,
    and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
    19
    A loving doe, a graceful deer—
    may her breasts satisfy you always,
    may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
    20
    Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
    Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
    21
    For your ways are in full view of the Lord,
    and he examines all your paths.
    22
    The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;
    the cords of their sins hold them fast.
    23
    For lack of discipline they will die,
    led astray by their own great folly.

    Proverbs 6

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.6


    My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
    if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
    2
    you have been trapped by what you said,
    ensnared by the words of your mouth.
    3
    So do this, my son, to free yourself,
    since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
    Go—to the point of exhaustion—
    and give your neighbor no rest!
    4
    Allow no sleep to your eyes,
    no slumber to your eyelids.
    5
    Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
    like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
    6
    Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
    7
    It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
    8
    yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.
    9
    How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
    When will you get up from your sleep?
    10
    A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest—
    11
    and poverty will come on you like a thief
    and scarcity like an armed man.
    12
    A troublemaker and a villain,
    who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
    13
    who winks maliciously with his eye,
    signals with his feet
    and motions with his fingers,
    14
    who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
    he always stirs up conflict.
    15
    Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
    he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
    16
    There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:
    17
    haughty eyes,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that shed innocent blood,
    18
    a heart that devises wicked schemes,
    feet that are quick to rush into evil,
    19
    a false witness who pours out lies
    and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
    Warning Against Adultery
    20
    My son, keep your father’s command
    and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
    21
    Bind them always on your heart;
    fasten them around your neck.
    22
    When you walk, they will guide you;
    when you sleep, they will watch over you;
    when you awake, they will speak to you.
    23
    For this command is a lamp,
    this teaching is a light,
    and correction and instruction
    are the way to life,
    24
    keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
    from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
    25
    Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
    or let her captivate you with her eyes.
    26
    For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
    but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
    27
    Can a man scoop fire into his lap
    without his clothes being burned?
    28
    Can a man walk on hot coals
    without his feet being scorched?
    29
    So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
    no one who touches her will go unpunished.
    30
    People do not despise a thief if he steals
    to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
    31
    Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
    though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
    32
    But a man who commits adultery has no sense;
    whoever does so destroys himself.
    33
    Blows and disgrace are his lot,
    and his shame will never be wiped away.
    34
    For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury,
    and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
    35
    He will not accept any compensation;
    he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.

    Proverbs 7

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.7

    My son, keep my words
    and store up my commands within you.
    2
    Keep my commands and you will live;
    guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
    3
    Bind them on your fingers;
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
    4
    Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
    and to insight, “You are my relative.”
    5
    They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
    from the wayward woman with her seductive words.

    6
    At the window of my house
    I looked down through the lattice.
    7
    I saw among the simple,
    I noticed among the young men,
    a youth who had no sense.
    8
    He was going down the street near her corner,
    walking along in the direction of her house
    9
    at twilight, as the day was fading,
    as the dark of night set in.

    10
    Then out came a woman to meet him,
    dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
    11
    (She is unruly and defiant,
    her feet never stay at home;
    12
    now in the street, now in the squares,
    at every corner she lurks.)
    13
    She took hold of him and kissed him
    and with a brazen face she said:

    14
    “Today I fulfilled my vows,
    and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.
    15
    So I came out to meet you;
    I looked for you and have found you!
    16
    I have covered my bed
    with colored linens from Egypt.
    17
    I have perfumed my bed
    with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
    18
    Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
    let’s enjoy ourselves with love!
    19
    My husband is not at home;
    he has gone on a long journey.
    20
    He took his purse filled with money
    and will not be home till full moon.”

    21
    With persuasive words she led him astray;
    she seduced him with her smooth talk.
    22
    All at once he followed her
    like an ox going to the slaughter,
    like a deer stepping into a noose
    23
    till an arrow pierces his liver,
    like a bird darting into a snare,
    little knowing it will cost him his life.

    24
    Now then, my sons, listen to me;
    pay attention to what I say.
    25
    Do not let your heart turn to her ways
    or stray into her paths.
    26
    Many are the victims she has brought down;
    her slain are a mighty throng.
    27
    Her house is a highway to the grave,
    leading down to the chambers of death.

    Proverbs 8

    Audio link ;

    https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/purevoice/niv/Prov.8


    Does not wisdom call out?
    Does not understanding raise her voice?
    2
    At the highest point along the way,
    where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
    3
    beside the gate leading into the city,
    at the entrance, she cries aloud:
    4
    “To you, O people, I call out;
    I raise my voice to all mankind.
    5
    You who are simple, gain prudence;
    you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
    6
    Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
    I open my lips to speak what is right.
    7
    My mouth speaks what is true,
    for my lips detest wickedness.
    8
    All the words of my mouth are just;
    none of them is crooked or perverse.
    9
    To the discerning all of them are right;
    they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
    10
    Choose my instruction instead of silver,
    knowledge rather than choice gold,
    11
    for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
    and nothing you desire can compare with her.
    12
    “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
    I possess knowledge and discretion.
    13
    To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
    I hate pride and arrogance,
    evil behavior and perverse speech.
    14
    Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
    I have insight, I have power.
    15
    By me kings reign
    and rulers issue decrees that are just;
    16
    by me princes govern,
    and nobles—all who rule on earth.
    17
    I love those who love me,
    and those who seek me find me.
    18
    With me are riches and honor,
    enduring wealth and prosperity.
    19
    My fruit is better than fine gold;
    what I yield surpasses choice silver.
    20
    I walk in the way of righteousness,
    along the paths of justice,
    21
    bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
    and making their treasuries full.
    22
    “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,
    before his deeds of old;
    23
    I was formed long ages ago,
    at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
    24
    When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
    when there were no springs overflowing with water;
    25
    before the mountains were settled in place,
    before the hills, I was given birth,
    26
    before he made the world or its fields
    or any of the dust of the earth.
    27
    I was there when he set the heavens in place,
    when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
    28
    when he established the clouds above
    and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
    29
    when he gave the sea its boundary
    so the waters would not overstep his command,
    and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
    30
    Then I was constantly at his side.
    I was filled with delight day after day,
    rejoicing always in his presence,
    31
    rejoicing in his whole world
    and delighting in mankind.
    32
    “Now then, my children, listen to me;
    blessed are those who keep my ways.
    33
    Listen to my instruction and be wise;
    do not disregard it.
    34
    Blessed are those who listen to me,
    watching daily at my doors,
    waiting at my doorway.
    35
    For those who find me find life
    and receive favor from the Lord.
    36
    But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
    all who hate me love death.”

    Proverbs 9

    Audio link ;

    https://mobile.biblegateway.com/audi...ice/niv/Prov.9

    Wisdom has built her house;
    she has set up its seven pillars.
    2
    She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.
    3
    She has sent out her servants, and she calls
    from the highest point of the city,
    4
    “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
    To those who have no sense she says,
    5
    “Come, eat my food
    and drink the wine I have mixed.
    6
    Leave your simple ways and you will live;
    walk in the way of insight.”
    7
    Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
    whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
    8
    Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;
    rebuke the wise and they will love you.
    9
    Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
    teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
    10
    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
    11
    For through wisdom your days will be many,
    and years will be added to your life.
    12
    If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
    13
    Folly is an unruly woman;
    she is simple and knows nothing.
    14
    She sits at the door of her house,
    on a seat at the highest point of the city,
    15
    calling out to those who pass by,
    who go straight on their way,
    16
    “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
    To those who have no sense she says,
    17
    “Stolen water is sweet;
    food eaten in secret is delicious!”
    18
    But little do they know that the dead are there,
    that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
    No turning back , No turning back !

    Proverbs 10

    Audio link ;

    https://mobile.biblegateway.com/audi...ce/niv/Prov.10

    A wise son brings joy to his father,
    but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
    2
    Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
    but righteousness delivers from death.
    3
    The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
    but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
    4
    Lazy hands make for poverty,
    but diligent hands bring wealth.
    5
    He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son,
    but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
    6
    Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
    but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
    7
    The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
    but the name of the wicked will rot.
    8
    The wise in heart accept commands,
    but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
    9
    Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
    but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
    10
    Whoever winks maliciously causes grief,
    and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
    11
    The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
    12
    Hatred stirs up conflict,
    but love covers over all wrongs.
    13
    Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
    but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
    14
    The wise store up knowledge,
    but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
    15
    The wealth of the rich is their fortified city,
    but poverty is the ruin of the poor.
    16
    The wages of the righteous is life,
    but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
    17
    Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
    but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
    18
    Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips
    and spreads slander is a fool.
    19
    Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
    but the prudent hold their tongues.
    20
    The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
    but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
    21
    The lips of the righteous nourish many,
    but fools die for lack of sense.
    22
    The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
    without painful toil for it.
    23
    A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes,
    but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.
    24
    What the wicked dread will overtake them;
    what the righteous desire will be granted.
    25
    When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
    but the righteous stand firm forever.
    26
    As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
    so are sluggards to those who send them.
    27
    The fear of the Lord adds length to life,
    but the years of the wicked are cut short.
    28
    The prospect of the righteous is joy,
    but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
    29
    The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
    but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
    30
    The righteous will never be uprooted,
    but the wicked will not remain in the land.
    31
    From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom,
    but a perverse tongue will be silenced.
    32
    The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
    but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

    Proverbs 11

    Audio link ;

    https://mobile.biblegateway.com/audi...ce/niv/Prov.11

    The Lord detests dishonest scales,
    but accurate weights find favor with him.
    2
    When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
    but with humility comes wisdom.
    3
    The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
    4
    Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
    but righteousness delivers from death.
    5
    The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight,
    but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
    6
    The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
    but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
    7
    Hopes placed in mortals die with them;
    all the promise of their power comes to nothing.
    8
    The righteous person is rescued from trouble,
    and it falls on the wicked instead.
    9
    With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors,
    but through knowledge the righteous escape.
    10
    When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
    when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
    11
    Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
    but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.
    12
    Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense,
    but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.
    13
    A gossip betrays a confidence,
    but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.
    14
    For lack of guidance a nation falls,
    but victory is won through many advisers.
    15
    Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer,
    but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.
    16
    A kindhearted woman gains honor,
    but ruthless men gain only wealth.
    17
    Those who are kind benefit themselves,
    but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.
    18
    A wicked person earns deceptive wages,
    but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
    19
    Truly the righteous attain life,
    but whoever pursues evil finds death.
    20
    The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,
    but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
    21
    Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
    but those who are righteous will go free.
    22
    Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
    is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
    23
    The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
    but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
    24
    One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
    another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
    25
    A generous person will prosper;
    whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
    26
    People curse the one who hoards grain,
    but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
    27
    Whoever seeks good finds favor,
    but evil comes to one who searches for it.
    28
    Those who trust in their riches will fall,
    but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
    29
    Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
    and the fool will be servant to the wise.
    30
    The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
    and the one who is wise saves lives.
    31
    If the righteous receive their due on earth,
    how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
    No turning back , No turning back !
