Proverbs 1 (KJV) 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 subtlety 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 LORD 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 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 at your
calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; {27} When your fear cometh as
desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and
anguish cometh upon you. {28} Then shall they call upon me, but I will not
answer; they shall seek me early, 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 turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of
fools shall destroy them. {33} But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell
safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
