Proverbs 1
[Christian Standard Bible]
The Purpose of Proverbs
¹The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
² For learning wisdom and discipline;
for understanding insightful sayings;
³ for receiving prudent instruction
in righteousness, justice, and integrity;
⁴ for teaching shrewdness to the inexperienced,
knowledge and discretion to a young man—
⁵ let a wise person listen and increase learning,
and let a discerning person obtain guidance—
⁶ for understanding a proverb or a parable,
the words of the wise, and their riddles.
⁷ The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Avoid the Path of the Violent
⁸ Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
and don’t reject your mother’s teaching,
⁹ for they will be a garland of favor on your head
and pendants around your neck.
¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you,
don’t be persuaded.
¹¹ If they say—“Come with us!
Let’s set an ambush and kill someone.
Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!
¹² Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol,
whole, like those who go down to the Pit.
¹³ We’ll find all kinds of valuable property
and fill our houses with plunder.
¹⁴ Throw in your lot with us,
and we’ll all share the loot”—
¹⁵ my son, don’t travel that road with them
or set foot on their path,
¹⁶ because their feet run toward evil
and they hurry to shed blood.
¹⁷ It is useless to spread a net
where any bird can see it,
¹⁸ but they set an ambush to kill themselves;
they attack their own lives.
¹⁹ Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly;
it takes the lives of those who receive it.
Wisdom’s Plea
²⁰ Wisdom calls out in the street;
she makes her voice heard in the public squares.
²¹ She cries out above the commotion;
she speaks at the entrance of the city gates:
²² “How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?
²³ If you respond to my warning,
then I will pour out my spirit on you
and teach you my words.
²⁴ Since I called out and you refused,
extended my hand and no one paid attention,
²⁵ since you neglected all my counsel
and did not accept my correction,
²⁶ I, in turn, will laugh at your calamity.
I will mock when terror strikes you,
²⁷ when terror strikes you like a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when trouble and stress overcome you.
²⁸ Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;
they will search for me, but won’t find me.
²⁹ Because they hated knowledge,
didn’t choose to fear the Lord,
³⁰ were not interested in my counsel,
and rejected all my correction,
³¹ they will eat the fruit of their way
and be glutted with their own schemes.
³² For the apostasy of the inexperienced will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
³³ But whoever listens to me will live securely
and be undisturbed by the dread of danger.”Proverbs of the Day There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs, one for each day of the month. Start today.

(Proverbs 27)
1. Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2. Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.
3. A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.
4. Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,
But who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7. A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8. Like a bird that wanders from its nest
Is a man who wanders from his place.
9. Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel.
10. Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
That I may answer him who reproaches me.
12A prudent man
foresees evil and hides himself;.
The simple pass on and are punished.
13. Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.
14. He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It will be counted a curse to him.
15. A continual dripping on a very rainy day
And a contentious woman are alike;
16. Whoever restrains her restrains the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand.
17. As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18. Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;
So he who waits on his master will be honored.
19. As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.
20. Hell and Destruction are never full;
So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.
22. Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23. Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,
And attend to your herds;
24. For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
25. When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26. The lambs will provide your clothing,
And the goats the price of a field;
27. You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And the nourishment of your maidservants.
