Proverbs 1
- 1 Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
- 2 For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence,
- 3 For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness,
- 4 For giving to simple ones--prudence, To a youth--knowledge and discretion.
- 5 (The wise doth hear and increaseth learning, And the intelligent doth obtain counsels.)
- 6 For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings.
-
7 Fear of Jehovah
is a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised! - 8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,
-
9 For a graceful wreath
are they to thy head, And chains to thy neck. - 10 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.
- 11 If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,
-
12 We swallow them as Sheol--alive, And whole--as those going down
to the pit, -
13 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses
with spoil, - 14 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is--to all of us.'
- 15 My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,
- 16 For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.
- 17 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird.
- 18 And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.
-
19 So
are the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh. - 20 Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice,
- 21 At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith:
- 22 `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?
- 23 Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.
- 24 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,
- 25 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.
- 26 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,
- 27 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.
- 28 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.
- 29 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.
- 30 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,
- 31 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.
- 32 For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.
-
33 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And
is quiet from fear of evil!'
