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 judgment and equity; |
4
|
To give subtilty 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 the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: {cf15i 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 eyes 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 entering in of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words: |
22
|
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and scorners delight them in scorning, and fools hate knowledge? |
23
|
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. |
24
|
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; |
25
|
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: |
26
|
I also will laugh in {cf15i 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 shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: |
29
|
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: |
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 prosperity of fools shall destroy them. |
33
|
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil. |
