The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: |
2
|
To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, |
3
|
to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; |
4
|
to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth- |
5
|
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, |
6
|
to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. |
7
|
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. |
8
|
Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, |
9
|
for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck. |
10
|
My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. |
11
|
If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason; |
12
|
like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; |
13
|
we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder; |
14
|
throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse"- |
15
|
my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, |
16
|
for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. |
17
|
For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, |
18
|
but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. |
19
|
Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. |
20
|
Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; |
21
|
at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: |
22
|
"How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? |
23
|
If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. |
24
|
Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, |
25
|
because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, |
26
|
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, |
27
|
when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. |
28
|
Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. |
29
|
Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, |
30
|
would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, |
31
|
therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. |
32
|
For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; |
33
|
but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster." |
