- The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
- 2
- To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
- 3
- To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
- 4
- To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
- 5
- A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:
- 6
- To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
- 7
- The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- 8
- My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
- 9
- For they shalt be an ornament of grace to thy head, and chains about thy neck.
- 10
- My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
- 11
- If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
- 12
- Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
- 13
- We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
- 14
- Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
- 15
- My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
- 16
- For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
- 17
- Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
- 18
- And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
- 19
- So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; who taketh away the life of its owners.
- 20
- Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
- 21
- She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
- 22
- How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
- 23
- Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit to you, I will make known to you my words.
- 24
- Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
- 25
- But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and rejected my reproof:
- 26
- I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
- 27
- When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
- 28
- Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
- 29
- For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
- 30
- They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
- 31
- Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
- 32
- For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
- 33
- But whoever hearkeneth to me shall dwell in safety, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
