Proverbs Commentary

When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
