Proverbs 9

Proverbs 9- Heed The Call To Wisdom

Wisdom builds her house

Wisdom does it all

Wisdom beckons to the simple 

Pleading them to heed the call 

Scoffers don’t accept report

A smart man leaves them be

The wise delight in correction

They joy in all they see

The fear of the Lord

Is where wisdom commences

Knowledge of God

Brings man to their senses

Following God adds to your days

And years to your life

Never forsake the God of your youth

Or abandon your wonderful wife

Folly is a boisterous woman

Seductive, yet has no brain

She may taste good for a moment

But in the end you’ll be slain 

Proverbs 8- Wisdom Is Better Than Jewels

 Proverbs 8- Wisdom Is Better Than Jewels

A child cry’s out for her father

Who wraps her in his arms

So wisdom calls for man

To keep us from harm

The one who runs the straight race

Will utter what is right

Wickedness is an abomination to his lips

Everything is in plain sight

Gather instruction than silver

And it will pay bountifully

For wisdom is better than jewels

Knowledge will give you plenty 

Counsel and sound wisdom 

Give you insight and strength

By wisdom a king rules justly

And princes go the right length 

Seek Christ diligently 

Seek Him will all your might

Then your fruit will be better than gold

When God is in your target sight

Before the morning dawn

God formed your inner being

He made the seas and skies above

A delight worth seeing 

Listen to wisdom

Who stood the test of time

Whoever finds wisdom find life

And favor from our Lord divine 

Proverbs 7- Beware The Wayward Woman

Proverbs 7- Beware The Wayward Woman

My son, clutch the words I say

Treasure them deeply like a well

Keep these statues and live

In your heart will they dwell

May wisdom be your sister

Insight be your friend

They will keep your from the forbidden woman

From the start to the end

You will have friends who follow

The wayward woman to her place

She may seem enticing

With her bold and fiery embrace

But this woman seemingly fun

Will tear their life apart

Like an ox going to slaughter

Will be their ever wandering heart

Pay attention wisely

Heed these words of mine

Or pay the price of Hell

Sending shivers down your spine 

Proverbs 6- Be Prudent With Your Promises

 Proverbs 6- Be Prudent With Your Promises

Be prudent with your promises 

Be careful what hands your shake

Don’t be ensnared by the words of your mouth

For promises are hard to break

Consider diligent animals 

Who work with little rest

Arise all you sluggers

For laziness will make you stressed

God despises several things:

Haughty eyes, lying lips

Hands that hurt

Heard that sink ships

Keep your parents teaching

Hold them close to your chest

When you sleep they’ll watch over you 

When you wake, you will be blessed 

Their words will bind you tightly 

And keep you away from lust

Do not treasure the forbidden woman

Or forsake your wife’s trust

Playing with fire is deadly 

It burns to the touch

Enter a foreign woman

And you’ll pay the price as such 

Heed these words

Or you’ll destroy your life

You will get dishonor and disgrace

If you don’t love your wife 

Proverbs 5- A Letter To My Sons

 Proverbs 5- 

A Letter To My Sons

My son, sit in close

Get your ears upright

For what I tell you

Will be good in your sight

There is a forbidden woman

Her talk is smoother than oil

Her lips ooze of honey

But deep inside her, evil boils 

Her feet lead to death

Her steps point to Hell

Her ways surely wander

For she is not well

Listen to me son

With all of your heart!

Do not get close to her

From my words do not depart

If you follow her

You will be consumed

Your life will be full of groaning

You will be building a living tomb

Instead, enjoy the wife of your youth

She should have your full delight

Be intoxicated by her sweet love 

The only woman in your sight

God, I wholly plead! 

On my young sons behalf

Keep their hearts pure

You who ponders their paths

Proverbs 4- The Blessing of A Father’s Instruction

 Proverbs 4- The Blessing of A Fathers Instruction

A fathers instruction is good

Do not forsake his instruction

Hold fast to wisdom 

The commandments hold you from destruction 

When you follow the ways of wisdom

The years of your life will be long

Be led down the path of uprightness

So your life will be a song 

It all comes down to this

Get wisdom my son 

Treasure up insight

Until the day is done 

Do not enter the wicked place

Do not walk among the evil 

For they lie in wait

They live for upheaval

But righteousness, that is beautiful!

Precious like the morning dawn

Shining brighter each moment 

Sweeter than the young fawn

Keep your heart like a guarded fortress

For it flows goodness and life

Ponder the ways of your steps

Run from all the evil strife!

Proverbs 3- Adorn Yourself With Wisdom

 Proverbs 3- Adorn Yourself With Wisdom

Hold fast to the Word

Keep everything it commands

God’s instructions will lengthen your life

Peace will be in your hand

Live faithfully to the covenant

Between God and man

May love and faithfulness never depart 

Trust in God’s plan

Jesus gives us straight paths 

If we learn to follow Him

Chase Christ with all your heart

Run to God with every limb

Wisdom is more precious than gold

More sterling than silver pieces 

Long life is in wisdom’s hands 

In her pleasantness never ceases

When you sleep, Wisdom will adorn you

Discretion will be life to your soul

You will walk ever surely

They will make your life whole

Do not envy those who choose strife

The ones who scorn others

Instead look to the humble man

For he is like a brother
