1
|
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: |
2
|
for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; |
3
|
for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; |
4
|
for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young-- |
5
|
let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance-- |
6
|
for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. |
7
|
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. |
8
|
Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. |
9
|
They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. |
10
|
My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. |
11
|
If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul; |
12
|
let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; |
13
|
we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; |
14
|
throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse"-- |
15
|
my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; |
16
|
for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood. |
17
|
How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds! |
18
|
These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves! |
19
|
Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it. |
20
|
Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; |
21
|
at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech: |
22
|
"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? |
23
|
If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. |
24
|
But since you rejected me when I called and no-one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, |
25
|
since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, |
26
|
I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-- |
27
|
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. |
28
|
"Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. |
29
|
Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD, |
30
|
since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, |
31
|
they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. |
32
|
For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; |
33
|
but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." |
