Chapter 37 | |
| 37:1 | Every friend saith, I am his friend also: but there is a friend, which is only a friend in name. |
| 37:2 | Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is turned to an enemy? |
| 37:3 | O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to cover the earth with deceit? |
| 37:4 | There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him. |
| 37:5 | There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the enemy. |
| 37:6 | Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches. |
| 37:7 | Every counsellor extolleth counsel; but there is some that counselleth for himself. |
| 37:8 | Beware of a counsellor, and know before what need he hath; for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee, |
| 37:9 | And say unto thee, Thy way is good: and afterward he stand on the other side, to see what shall befall thee. |
| 37:10 | Consult not with one that suspecteth thee: and hide thy counsel from such as envy thee. |
| 37:11 | Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she is jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war; nor with a merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling; nor with an envious man of thankfulness; nor with an unmerciful man touching kindness; nor with the slothful for any work; nor with an hireling for a year of finishing work; nor with an idle servant of much business: hearken not unto these in any matter of counsel. |
| 37:12 | But be continually with a godly man, whom thou knowest to keep the commandments of the Lord, whose, mind is according to thy mind, and will sorrow with thee, if thou shalt miscarry. |
| 37:13 | And let the counsel of thine own heart stand: for there is no man more faithful unto thee than it. |
| 37:14 | For a man's mind is sometime wont to tell him more than seven watchmen, that sit above in an high tower. |
| 37:15 | And above all this pray to the most High, that he will direct thy way in truth. |
| 37:16 | Let reason go before every enterprize, and counsel before every action. |
| 37:17 | The countenance is a sign of changing of the heart. |
| 37:18 | Four manner of things appear: good and evil, life and death: but the tongue ruleth over them continually. |
| 37:19 | There is one that is wise and teacheth many, and yet is unprofitable to himself. |
| 37:20 | There is one that sheweth wisdom in words, and is hated: he shall be destitute of all food. |
| 37:21 | For grace is not given, him from the Lord, because he is deprived of all wisdom. |
| 37:22 | Another is wise to himself; and the fruits of understanding are commendable in his mouth. |
| 37:23 | A wise man instructeth his people; and the fruits of his understanding fail not. |
| 37:24 | A wise man shall be filled with blessing; and all they that see him shall count him happy. |
| 37:25 | The days of the life of man may be numbered: but the days of Israel are innumerable. |
| 37:26 | A wise man shall inherit glory among his people, and his name shall be perpetual. |
| 37:27 | My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it. |
| 37:28 | For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing. |
| 37:29 | Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats: |
| 37:30 | For excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeiting will turn into choler. |
| 37:31 | By surfeiting have many perished; but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life. |
