~*ADVICE*~
Proverbs 1:10-19
Son, when sinners tempt you, don't give in. Suppose they say, "Come on; let's find someone to kill! Let's attack some innocent people for the fun of it! The may be alright and well when we find them, but they'll be dead when we're through with them! We'll find all kinds of riches and fill our houses with loot! Come and join us, and we'll all share what we steal."

Son, don't go with people like that. Stay away from them. They can't wait to do somethings bad. They're always ready to kill. It does no good to spread a net when the bird you want to catch is watching, but men like that are setting a trap for themselves, a trap in which they will die. Robbery always claims the life of the robber - this is what happens to anyone who lives by violence.



~*WISDOM*~

Proverbs 2:2-8

Listen to what is wise and try to understand it. Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight. Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure. If you do, you will know what it means to fear the LORD and you will succeed in learning about God. It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from Him come knowledge and understanding. He provides help and protection for righteous, honest men. he protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him.

Proverbs 2:11-22
Your insight and understanding will protect you and prevent you from form doing the wrong thing. They will keep you away from people who stir up trouble by what they say - men who have abandoned a righteous life to live in the darkness of sin, men who find pleasure in doing wrong and who enjoy senseless evil, unreliable men who cannot be trusted.

You will be able to resist any immoral woman who tries to seduce you with her smooth talk, who is faithless to her husband and forgets her sacred vows. If you go to her house, you are traveling the road to death. To go there is to approach the world of the dead. No one who visits her ever comes back. He never returns to the road of life. So you must follow the example of good men and live a righteous life. Righteous men - men of integrity - will live in this land of ours. But God will snatch wicked men from the land and pull sinners out of it like plants from the ground.

Proverbs 3:3-8
Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; write them on your heart. If you do this, both God and man will be pleased with you.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the LORD and refuse to do wrong. If you do, it will be like good medicine, healing your wounds and easing your pains.

Proverbs 3:11-18
Son, when the LORD corrects you, pay close attention and take it as a warning. The LORD corrects those he loves, as a father corrects a son of whom he is proud. Happy is the man who becomes wise - who comes to have understanding. There is more profit in it than there is in silver; it is worth more than to you than gold. Wisdom is more valuable than jewels; nothing you could want can compare with it. Wisdom offers you long life, as well as welath and honor. Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it. Thos who become wise are happy; wisdom will give them life.

Proverbs 3:27-32
Whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it. Never tell your neighbour to wait until tomorrow if you can help him now. Don't plan anything that will hurt your neighbour, he lives beside you, trusting you. Don't argue with someone for no reason when he has never done you any harm. Don't be jealous of violent people or decide to act as they do, because the LORD hates people who do evil, but he takes righteous men into his confidence.

Proverbs 4:8-9
Love wisdom and she will make you great. Embrace her and she will bring you honor. She will be your crowning glory.



~*WARNINGS AGAINST ADULTERY*~
Proverbs 5:3-8
The lips of another man's wife may be as sweet as honey and her kisses as smooth as olive oil, but when it is all over, she leaves you nothing but bitterness and pain. She will take you down to the world of the dead; the road she walks is the road to death. She does not stay on the road to life; but wanders off, and does not realize what is happening.

Now listen to me, sons, and never forget what I am saying. Keep away from such a woman! Don't ever go near her door!

Proverbs 5:15
Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone.

Proverbs 5:18-23
So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the girl you married - pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love. Son, why should you give your love to another woman? Why should you prefer the charms of another man's wife? The LORD sees everything you do. Wherever you go, he is watching. The sins of a wicked man are a trap. He gets caught in the net of his own sin. He dies because he has no selfcontrol. His utter stupidity will send him to his grave.
