Bible Reading for June 08

Proverbs 25
[1] These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah
copied out.
[2] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to
search out a matter.
[3] The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is
unsearchable.
[4] Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel
for the finer.
[5] Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be
established in righteousness.
[6] Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the
place of great men:
[7] For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou
shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
[8] Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end
thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. [9] Debate thy cause with
thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
[10] Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
[11] A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. [12] As
an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an
obedient ear.
[13] As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to
them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. [14] Whoso
boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
[15] By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the
bone.
[16] Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be
filled therewith, and vomit it.
[17] Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee,
and so hate thee.
[18] A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a
sword, and a sharp arrow.
[19] Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth,
and a foot out of joint.
[20] As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon
nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart. [21] If thine enemy be
hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
[22] For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward
thee.
[23] The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a
backbiting tongue.
[24] It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling
woman and in a wide house. [25] As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good
news from a far country. [26] A righteous man falling down before the wicked is
as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
[27] It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is
not glory.
[28] He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken
down, and without walls.

Proverbs 26
[1] As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a
fool.
[2] As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless
shall not come.
[3] A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
[4] Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
[5] Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
[6] He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and
drinketh damage.
[7] The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
[8] As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a
fool.
[9] As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the
mouth of fools.
[10] The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and
rewardeth transgressors.
[11] As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. [12]
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of
him.
[13] The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the
streets.
[14] As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
[15] The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it
again to his mouth.
[16] The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a
reason.
[17] He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like
one that taketh a dog by the ears. [18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands,
arrows, and death, [19] So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith,
Am not I in sport?
[20] Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no
talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
[21] As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man
to kindle strife.
[22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the
innermost parts of the belly.
[23] Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver
dross.
[24] He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
[25] When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations
in his heart.
[26] Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before
the whole congregation.
[27] Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it
will return upon him.
[28] A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering
mouth worketh ruin.

Proverbs 27
[1] Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring
forth.
[2] Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not
thine own lips.
[3] A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than
them both.
[4] Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before
envy?
[5] Open rebuke is better than secret love. [6] Faithful are the wounds of a
friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
[7] The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter
thing is sweet.
[8] As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his
place.
[9] Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's
friend by hearty counsel.
[10] Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into
thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that
is near than a brother far off. [11] My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
[12] A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass
on, and are punished.
[13] Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him
for a strange woman.
[14] He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the
morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. [15] A continual dropping in a
very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
[16] Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand,
which bewrayeth itself.
[17] Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
[18] Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth
on his master shall be honoured. [19] As in water face answereth to face, so
the heart of man to man. [20] Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes
of man are never satisfied.
[21] As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his
praise.
[22] Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle,
yet will not his foolishness depart from him. [23] Be thou diligent to know the
state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
[24] For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every
generation?
[25] The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the
mountains are gathered.
[26] The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
[27] And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy
household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Proverbs 28
[1] The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
[2] For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man
of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. [3] A poor
man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
[4] They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law
contend with them.
[5] Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand
all things.
[6] Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is
perverse in his ways, though he be rich. [7] Whoso keepeth the law is a wise
son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
[8] He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather
it for him that will pity the poor. [9] He that turneth away his ear from
hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
[10] Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall
himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
[11] The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath
understanding searcheth him out.
[12] When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked
rise, a man is hidden.
[13] He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and
forsaketh them shall have mercy.
[14] Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall
fall into mischief.
[15] As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor
people.
[16] The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he
that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. [17] A man that doeth violence
to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
[18] Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his
ways shall fall at once.
[19] He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth
after vain persons shall have poverty enough. [20] A faithful man shall abound
with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
[21] To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man
will transgress.
[22] He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that
poverty shall come upon him.
[23] He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that
flattereth with the tongue.
[24] Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression;
the same is the companion of a destroyer. [25] He that is of a proud heart
stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made
fat. [26] He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh
wisely, he shall be delivered.
[27] He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes
shall have many a curse.
[28] When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the
righteous increase.
