PRO-1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
PRO-1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of
understanding;
PRO-1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and
judgment, and equity;
PRO-1:4 To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man
knowledge and discretion.
PRO-1:5 A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and
a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
PRO-1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the
words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
PRO-1:7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge:
[but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.
PRO-1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake
not the law of thy mother:
PRO-1:9 For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head,
and chains about thy neck.
PRO-1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
PRO-1:11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood,
let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
PRO-1:12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole,
as those that go down into the pit:
PRO-1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our
houses with spoil:
PRO-1:14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
PRO-1:15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy
foot from their path:
PRO-1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed
blood.
PRO-1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any
bird.
PRO-1:18 And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk
privily for their [own] lives.
PRO-1:19 So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
[which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
PRO-1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the
streets:
PRO-1:21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the
openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words,
[saying],
PRO-1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and
the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
PRO-1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my
spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
PRO-1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched
out my hand, and no man regarded;
PRO-1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would
none of my reproof:
PRO-1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when
your fear cometh;
PRO-1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your
destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish
cometh upon you.
PRO-1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;
they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
PRO-1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the
fear of the LORD:
PRO-1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my
reproof.
PRO-1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
and be filled with their own devices.
PRO-1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and
the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
PRO-1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and
shall be quiet from fear of evil.
