1The proverbs^H4912 of Solomon^H8010 the son^H1121 of David^H1732, king^H4428 of Israel^H3478: 2To know^H3045 wisdom^H2451 and instruction^H4148; To discern^H995 the words^H561 of understanding^H998; 3To receive^H3947 instruction^H4148 in wise^H7919 dealing, In righteousness^H6664 and justice^H6664 and equity^H4339; 4To give^H5414 prudence^H6195 to the simple^H6612, To the young man^H5288 knowledge^H1847 and discretion^H4209: 5That the wise^H2450 man may hear^H8085, and increase^H3254 in learning^H3948; And that the man of understanding^H995 may attain^H7069 unto sound counsels^H8458: 6To understand^H995 a proverb^H4912, and a figure^H4426, The words^H1697 of the wise^H2450, and their dark sayings^H2420. 7The fear^H3374 of Jehovah^H3068 is the beginning^H7225 of knowledge^H1847; But the foolish^H191 despise^H936 wisdom^H2451 and instruction^H4148. 8My son^H1121, hear^H8085 the instruction^H4148 of thy father^H1, And forsake^H5203 not the law^H8451 of thy mother^H517: 9For they shall be a chaplet^H3880 of grace^H2580 unto thy head^H7218, And chains^H6060 about thy neck^H1621. 10My son^H1121, if sinners^H2400 entice^H6601 thee, Consent^H14 thou not. 11If they say^H559, Come^H3212 with us, Let us lay wait^H693 for blood^H1818; Let us lurk^H6845 privily for the innocent^H5355 without cause^H2600; 12Let us swallow them up^H1104 alive^H2416 as Sheol^H7585, And whole^H8549, as those that go down^H3381 into the pit^H953; 13We shall find^H4672 all precious^H3368 substance^H1952; We shall fill^H4390 our houses^H1004 with spoil^H7998; 14Thou shalt cast^H5307 thy lot^H1486 among^H8432 us; We will all have one^H259 purse^H3599: 15My son^H1121, walk^H3212 not thou in the way^H1870 with them; Refrain^H4513 thy foot^H7272 from their path^H5410: 16For their feet^H7272 run^H7323 to evil^H7451, And they make haste^H4116 to shed^H8210 blood^H1818. 17For in vain^H2600 is the net^H7568 spread^H2219 In the sight^H5869 of any bird^H1167: 18And these lay wait^H693 for their own blood^H1818; They lurk privily^H6845 for their own lives^H5315. 19So are the ways^H734 of every one that is greedy^H1214 of gain^H1215; It taketh away^H3947 the life^H5315 of the owners^H1167 thereof. 20Wisdom^H2454 crieth^H7442 aloud in the street^H2351; She uttereth^H5414 her voice^H6963 in the broad^H7339 places; 21She crieth^H7121 in the chief place^H7218 of concourse^H1993; At the entrance^H6607 of the gates^H8179, In the city^H5892, she uttereth^H559 her words^H561: 22How long, ye simple ones^H6612, will ye love^H157 simplicity^H6612? And scoffers^H3887 delight^H2530 them in scoffing^H3944, And fools^H3684 hate^H8130 knowledge^H1847? 23Turn^H7725 you at my reproof^H8433: Behold, I will pour out^H5042 my spirit^H7307 upon you; I will make known^H3045 my words^H1697 unto you. 24Because I have called^H7121, and ye have refused^H3985; I have stretched out^H5186 my hand^H3027, and no man hath regarded^H7181; 25But ye have set at nought^H6544 all my counsel^H6098, And would^H14 none of my reproof^H8433: 26I also will laugh^H7832 in the day of your calamity^H343; I will mock^H3932 when your fear^H6343 cometh^H935; 27When your fear^H6343 cometh^H935 as a storm^H5492, And your calamity^H343 cometh^H857 on as a whirlwind^H5492; When distress^H6869 and anguish^H6695 come^H935 upon you. 28Then will they call^H7121 upon me, but I will not answer^H6030; They will seek me diligently^H7836, but they shall not find^H4672 me: 29For that they hated^H8130 knowledge^H1847, And did not choose^H977 the fear^H3374 of Jehovah^H3068: 30They would^H14 none of my counsel^H6098; They despised^H5006 all my reproof^H8433. 31Therefore shall they eat^H398 of the fruit^H6529 of their own way^H1870, And be filled^H7646 with their own devices^H4156. 32For the backsliding^H4878 of the simple^H6612 shall slay^H2026 them, And the careless ease^H7962 of fools^H3684 shall destroy^H6 them. 33But whoso hearkeneth^H8085 unto me shall dwell^H7931 securely^H983, And shall be quiet^H7599 without fear^H6343 of evil^H7451.
