The Proverbs
CHAPTER 1
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2
To know wisdom and instruction; to
perceive the words of understanding;
3
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment,
and equity;
4
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5
A wise
man
will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7
The fear of the L
ORD
is
the beginning of knowledge:
but
fools 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
an ornament 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 the
grave; 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
Cast in thy lot among us; let us 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 make haste to shed blood.
17
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18
And
they 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;
which
taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21
She crieth in the chief place
of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words,
saying,
22
How long,
ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate
