Ps.19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

 

Ps.116:6               The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

 

Ps.119:130          The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

 

Pr.1:2    To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

Pr.1:3    To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Pr.1:4    To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

 

Pr.1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

 

Pr.1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

 

Pr.7:6    For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

Pr.7:7    And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

Pr.7:8    Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

Pr.7:9    In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

Pr.7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

Pr.7:11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

Pr.7:12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

Pr.7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

Pr.7:14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

Pr.7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

Pr.7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

Pr.7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Pr.7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Pr.7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

Pr.7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

Pr.7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

Pr.7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Pr.7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

 

Pr.8:4    Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

Pr.8:5    O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

 

Pr.9:1    Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

Pr.9:2    She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

Pr.9:3    She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

Pr.9:4    Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Pr.9:5    Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Pr.9:6    Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Pr.9:7    He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Pr.9:8    Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Pr.9:9    Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Pr.9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Pr.9:11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Pr.9:12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Pr.9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Pr.9:14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

Pr.9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Pr.9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Pr.9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Pr.9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

 

Pr.14:15               The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Pr.14:16               A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Pr.14:17               He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

Pr.14:18               The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

 

Pr.19:25               Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

 

Pr.21:11               When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

 

Pr.22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

 

Pr.27:12               A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

 

Rom.16:17          Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Rom.16:18          For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Rom.16:19          For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
