Book of Proverbs - Chapter 1

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
PROVERBS 1:1
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
PROVERBS 1:2
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
PROVERBS 1:3
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
PROVERBS 1:4
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels
PROVERBS 1:5
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
PROVERBS 1:6
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
PROVERBS 1:7
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother
PROVERBS 1:8
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
PROVERBS 1:9
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
PROVERBS 1:10
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause
PROVERBS 1:11
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit
PROVERBS 1:12
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil
PROVERBS 1:13
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse
PROVERBS 1:14
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path
PROVERBS 1:15
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
PROVERBS 1:16
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
PROVERBS 1:17
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
PROVERBS 1:18
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
PROVERBS 1:19
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets
PROVERBS 1:20
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
PROVERBS 1:21
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
PROVERBS 1:22
Turn you at my reproof behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
PROVERBS 1:23
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
PROVERBS 1:24
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof
PROVERBS 1:25
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
PROVERBS 1:26
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
PROVERBS 1:27
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me
PROVERBS 1:28
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD
PROVERBS 1:29
They would none of my counsel they despised all my reproof.
PROVERBS 1:30
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
PROVERBS 1:31
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
PROVERBS 1:32
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
PROVERBS 1:33
