1
|
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: |
2
|
To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding; |
3
|
To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity; |
4
|
To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion: |
5
|
That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels: |
6
|
To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings. |
7
|
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. |
8
|
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: |
9
|
For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto 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 Sheol, 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
|
Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will 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 they make haste to shed blood. |
17
|
For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird: |
18
|
And these 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; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof. |
20
|
Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places; |
21
|
She crieth in the chief place of concourse; At the entrance of the gates, In the city, she uttereth her words: |
22
|
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge? |
23
|
Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you. |
24
|
Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded; |
25
|
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof: |
26
|
I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; |
27
|
When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you. |
28
|
Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: |
29
|
For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah: |
30
|
They would none of 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 backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them. |
33
|
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil. |
