For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;

For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.

In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.

This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.

Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:

So they will give life to you, and grace to adorn your neck.

Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

whereas thou hast now to give him. Intend no hurt unto thy neighbour, seeing he hopeth to dwell in rest by thee.

If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace.

Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.

The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.

Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

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

Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.

I have given you teaching in the way of wisdom, guiding your steps in the straight way.

My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear,

My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear,

She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.

Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you.

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

I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me!

As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.

My son, if you have become surety (guaranteed a debt or obligation) for your neighbor,
If you have given your pledge for [the debt of] a stranger or another [outside your family],

Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:

a lying witness who gives false testimony,
and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction)
And do not reject the teaching of your mother;

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.

"I have given my peace offerings, and today I fulfilled my vows.

Suddenly he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter [not knowing the outcome],
Or as one in stocks going to the correction [to be given] to a fool,

And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth.

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding give forth her voice?

Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.

I can give counsel, and be a guide: I have understanding, I have strength.

Through me kings have their power, and rulers give right decisions.

Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me.

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and what I give is better than choice silver.

That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.

From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.

When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.

Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.

O give ear unto nurture, be wise, and refuse it not.

Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.

Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.

He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind

Wealth which comes from sin is of no profit, but righteousness gives salvation from death.

He pinching the eye shall give pain: and the foolish of lips shall fall.

The work of the upright gives life: the increase of the evil-doer is a cause of sin.

He who takes note of teaching is a way of life, but he who gives up training is a cause of error.

The lips of the upright man give food to men, but the foolish come to death for need of sense.

The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.

The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.

The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short.

The hope of the upright man will give joy, but the waiting of the evil-doer will have its end in sorrow.

Where no good counsel is, there the people decay; but whereas are many that can give counsel, there is wealth.

So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.

There is one who gives yet {grows richer}, but he who withholds {what is right} only [finds] need.

A person of blessing will be enriched, and he who gives water also will be refreshed.

The unjust one desired the net of the evil: and the root of the just will give.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the reward of a man's hands shall be given to him.

The way of the foolish man seems right to him? but the wise man gives ear to suggestions.

The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.

The hand of the active shall give dominion: and of the slothful one shall be for tribute.

A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.

Only by pride contention will be given: but with those being advised, wisdom.

Good understanding gives favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.

A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.

Desire realized is sweet to the soul;
But it is detestable to fools to turn away from evil [which they have planned].

He who withholds his rod hates his child, but he who loves him {gives him} discipline.

He who goes on his way in righteousness has before him the fear of the Lord; but he whose ways are twisted gives him no honour.

In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them!

The simple man has faith in every word, but the man of good sense gives thought to his footsteps.

He who is slow to be angry has great good sense; but he whose spirit is over-quick gives support to what is foolish.

He who is hard on the poor puts shame on his Maker; but he who has mercy on those who are in need gives him honour.

Unadvised thoughts shall come to naught; but whereas are men that can give counsel, there is steadfastness.

The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.

The ear that listens to and learns from the life-giving rebuke (reprimand, censure)
Will remain among the wise.

He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.

The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.

He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.

Understanding (spiritual insight) is a [refreshing and boundless] wellspring of life to those who have it,
But to give instruction and correction to fools is foolishness.

The heart of the wise man is the teacher of his mouth, and gives increased learning to his lips.

An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips;
And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue.

A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

If anyone gives back evil for good, evil will never go away from his house.

The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.

He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord.

What helpeth it to give a fool money in his hand, whereas he hath no mind to buy wisdom?

A man lacking common sense gives a pledge
And becomes guarantor [for the debt of another] in the presence of his neighbor.

To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness.

To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.

He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.
