52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Proverbs 2

1

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,

2

making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;

3

yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,

4

if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures;

5

then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

6

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

8

guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.

9

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;

10

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

11

discretion will watch over you; understanding will guard you;

12

delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,

13

who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

14

who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil;

15

men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

16

You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words,

17

who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;

18

for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the shades;

19

none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life.

20

So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21

For the upright will inhabit the land, and men of integrity will remain in it;

22

but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

Proverbs 3

1

My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

2

for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you.

3

Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

4

So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man.

5

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.

6

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

7

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.

8

It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

9

Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;

10

then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

11

My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof,

12

for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

13

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding,

14

for the gain from it is better than gain from silver and its profit better than gold.

15

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

16

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

17

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

18

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.

19

The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;

20

by his knowledge the deeps broke forth, and the clouds drop down the dew.

21

My son, keep sound wisdom and discretion; let them not escape from your sight,

22

and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.

23

Then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not stumble.

24

If you sit down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

25

Do not be afraid of sudden panic, or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes;

26

for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

27

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.

28

Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it" --when you have it with you.

29

Do not plan evil against your neighbor who dwells trustingly beside you.

30

Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm.

31

Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways;

32

for the perverse man is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence.

33

The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the abode of the righteous.

34

Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he shows favor.

35

The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace.
