1. 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.
