Deliver me from my enemies – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q04pSCT5f40

PROV 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: PROV 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.  PROV 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: PROV 1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. PROV 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? PROV 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.   PROV 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; PROV 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: PROV 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
PROV 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. PROV 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
PROV 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
PROV 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
PROV 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. PROV 1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. PROV 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.   

                                             

2:1  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2:2  So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 2:3  Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 2:5  Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 2:7  He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 2:8  He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 2:9  Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 2:10  When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 2:12  To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 2:21  For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. 2:22  But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

PROV 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: PROV 3:2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. PROV 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: PROV 3:4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. PROV 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. PROV 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. PROV 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD,
and depart from evil. PROV 3:8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow
to thy bones. PROV 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the
firstfruits of all thine increase: PROV 3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. PROV 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: PROV 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. PROV 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. PROV 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. PROV 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. PROV 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

PROV 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: PROV 5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. PROV 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: PROV 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. PROV 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. PROV 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. PROV 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee. PROV 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. PROV 5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. PROV 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? PROV 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. PROV 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. PROV 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

PROV 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: PROV 6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, PROV 6:8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. PROV 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? PROV 6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: PROV 6:11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. PROV 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: PROV 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, PROV 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, PROV 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. PROV 6:20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: PROV 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. PROV 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: PROV 6:24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. PROV 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. PROV 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? PROV 6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? PROV 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. PROV 6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 7:3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 7:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

PROV 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. PROV 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. PROV 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. PROV 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. PROV 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. PROV 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 9:11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

PROV 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. PROV 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. PROV 11:11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. PROV 11:12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. PROV 11:13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. PROV 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. PROV 11:16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. PROV 11:17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. PROV 11:24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. PROV 11:25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. PROV 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

PROV 13:1 A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. PROV 13:3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. PROV 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. PROV 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. PROV 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 14:20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. 14:29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. 14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. 14:31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

PROV 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. PROV 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. PROV 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. PROV 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. PROV 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. PROV 15:16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. PROV 15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. PROV 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. 6:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

PROV 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. PROV 17:18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. PROV 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. PROV 17:23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. PROV 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

PROV 18:8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. PROV 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. PROV 18:11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. PROV 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
PROV 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. PROV 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. PROV 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. PROV 18:23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. PROV 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

PROV 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. PROV 19:3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. PROV 19:4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. PROV 19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. PROV 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. PROV 19:16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. PROV 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. PROV 19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. PROV 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. PROV 19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

PROV 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. PROV 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. PROV 20:12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them. PROV 20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. PROV 20:17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. PROV 20:20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. PROV 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

PROV 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. PROV 21:3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. PROV 21:9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. PROV 21:17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. PROV 21:31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

PROV 22:1 A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. PROV 22:2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all. PROV 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. PROV 22:9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. PROV 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. PROV 22:26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.PROV 22:27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? PROV 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. PROV 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

PROV 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: PROV 23:2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. PROV 23:3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. PROV 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. PROV 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. PROV 23:20 Be not among wine-bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
PROV 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. PROV 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. PROV 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? PROV 23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. PROV 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. PROV 23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. PROV 23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. PROV 23:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
PROV 23:35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

PROV 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. PROV 24:2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. PROV 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: PROV 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. PROV 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.PROV 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. PROV 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: PROV 24:18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. PROV 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked: PROV 24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. PROV 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: PROV 24:34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

PROV 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to searchPROV 25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. PROV 25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. out a matter. PROV 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. PROV 25:21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: PROV 25:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. PROV 25:23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. PROV 25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. PROV 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

PROV 26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back. PROV 26:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. PROV 26:17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. PROV 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

PROV 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. PROV 27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. PROV 27:3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both. PROV 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love. PROV 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. PROV 27:7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. PROV 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. PROV 27:18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

PROV 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. PROV 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. PROV 28:19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. PROV 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

PROV 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: PROV 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. PROV 30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; PROV 30:26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; PROV 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; PROV 30:28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.

PROV 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. PROV 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. PROV 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
