Pro 1:1 The Proverb of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
\nPro 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
\nPro 1:3 to receive instruction in prudence, justice, and judgment, and uprightness;
\nPro 1:4 to give sense to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man.
\nPro 1:5 The wise hears and increases learning, and the understanding ones gets wise counsel,
\nPro 1:6 to understand a proverb and an enigma; the words of the wise, and their acute sayings.
\nPro 1:7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
\nPro 1:8 My son, hear your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the law of your mother;
\nPro 1:9 for they shall be an ornament of grace to your head, and chains for your neck.
\nPro 1:10 My son, if sinners lure you, do not be willing.
\nPro 1:11 If they say, Walk with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us secretly lurk for the innocent without cause,
\nPro 1:12 let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those who go down into the Pit,
\nPro 1:13 we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder,
\nPro 1:14 cast in your lot among us, one purse shall be to all of us.
\nPro 1:15 My son, do not walk in the way with them! Hold back your foot from their path;
\nPro 1:16 for their feet run to evil and they haste to shed blood.
\nPro 1:17 For in vain the net is spread in the sight of every bird.
\nPro 1:18 And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own souls.
\nPro 1:19 So are the ways of everyone who gets unjust gain; it takes away its owner’s soul.
\nPro 1:20 Wisdom cries aloud outside; she gives her voice in the square;
\nPro 1:21 she calls at the head of places of commotion; in the opening of the gates, in the city she utters her words:
\nPro 1:22 Until when will you love to be simple, you simple ones? And will scorners desire scorn for themselves? And will fools hate knowledge?
\nPro 1:23 Turn back at my warning; behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.
\nPro 1:24 Because I called, and you refused; I stretch out a hand, and none inclines,
\nPro 1:25 but you have ignored all my counsel, and you did not desire my warning.
\nPro 1:26 I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your dread comes;
\nPro 1:27 when your dread comes like a storm; and your calamity arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come on you.
\nPro 1:28 Then they shall call on me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.
\nPro 1:29 Instead they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.
\nPro 1:30 They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof,
\nPro 1:31 and they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own lusts.
\nPro 1:32 For the going astray of the simple kills them, and the ease of fools destroys them.
\nPro 1:33 But he who listens to me shall live securely and shall be at ease from the dread of evil. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
