Proverbs Commentary

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
