- The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
- 2
- To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight,
- 3
- to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
- 4
- to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth—
- 5
- Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,
- 6
- to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles.
- 7
- The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- 8
- Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching,
- 9
- for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.
- 10
- My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
- 11
- If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason;
- 12
- like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
- 13
- we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder;
- 14
- throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”—
- 15
- my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths,
- 16
- for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
- 17
- For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,
- 18
- but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.
- 19
- Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.
- 20
- Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice;
- 21
- at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
- 22
- “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?
- 23
- If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.
- 24
- Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
- 25
- because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,
- 26
- I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you,
- 27
- when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
- 28
- Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
- 29
- Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD,
- 30
- would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof,
- 31
- therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.
- 32
- For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them;
- 33
- but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.”
