Proverbs 26   New Living Translation (NLT) 26  Honor is no more associated with fools      than snow with summer or rain with harvest. 2  Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,      an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim. 3  Guide a horse with a whip, a donkey with a bridle,      and a fool with a rod to his back! 4  Don't answer the foolish arguments of fools,      or y...

Proverbs 25   New Living Translation (NLT) More Proverbs of Solomon 25  These are more proverbs of Solomon, collected by the advisers of King Hezekiah of Judah. 2  It is God's privilege to conceal things      and the king's privilege to discover them. 3  No one can comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of the earth,      or all that goes on in the king's mind! 4  Remove the impurities from si...

Proverbs 24   New Living Translation (NLT) 24  Don't envy evil people      or desire their company. 2  For their hearts plot violence,      and their words always stir up trouble. 3  A house is built by wisdom      and becomes strong through good sense. 4  Through knowledge its rooms are filled      with all sorts of precious riches and valuables. 5  The wise are mightier than the strong, [ a ]   ...

Proverbs 23   New Living Translation (NLT) 23  While dining with a ruler,      pay attention to what is put before you. 2  If you are a big eater,      put a knife to your throat; 3  don't desire all the delicacies,      for he might be trying to trick you. 4  Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich.      Be wise enough to know when to quit. 5  In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,      for...

Proverbs 22   New Living Translation (NLT) 22  Choose a good reputation over great riches;      being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. 2  The rich and poor have this in common:      The  Lord  made them both. 3  A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.      The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. 4  True humility and fear of the  Lord      lead...

Proverbs 21   New Living Translation (NLT) 21  The king's heart is like a stream of water directed by the  Lord ;      he guides it wherever he pleases. 2  People may be right in their own eyes,      but the  Lord  examines their heart. 3  The  Lord  is more pleased when we do what is right and just      than when we offer him sacrifices. 4  Haughty eyes, a proud heart,      and evil actions are a...

Proverbs 20   New Living Translation (NLT) 20  Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls.      Those led astray by drink cannot be wise. 2  The king's fury is like a lion's roar;      to rouse his anger is to risk your life. 3  Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;      only fools insist on quarreling. 4  Those too lazy to plow in the right season      will have no food at the harvest. 5  Thou...

Proverbs 19   New Living Translation (NLT) 19  Better to be poor and honest      than to be dishonest and a fool. 2  Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good;      haste makes mistakes. 3  People ruin their lives by their own foolishness      and then are angry at the  Lord . 4  Wealth makes many "friends";      poverty drives them all away. 5  A false witness will not go unpunished,      nor will...

Proverbs 13   New Living Translation (NLT) 13  A wise child accepts a parent's discipline; [ a ]      a mocker refuses to listen to correction. 2  Wise words will win you a good meal,      but treacherous people have an appetite for violence. 3  Those who control their tongue will have a long life;      opening your mouth can ruin everything. 4  Lazy people want much but get little,      but those...

Proverbs 12   New Living Translation (NLT) 12  To learn, you must love discipline;      it is stupid to hate correction. 2  The  Lord  approves of those who are good,      but he condemns those who plan wickedness. 3  Wickedness never brings stability,      but the godly have deep roots. 4  A worthy wife is a crown for her husband,      but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones. 5  The p...
