    Proverbs 1

    1 Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:DBY — Proverbs 1:1

    2 to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;DBY — Proverbs 1:2

    3 to receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness and judgment, and equity;DBY — Proverbs 1:3

    4 to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.DBY — Proverbs 1:4

    5 He that is wise will hear, and will increase learning; and the intelligent will gain wise counsels:DBY — Proverbs 1:5

    6 to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas.DBY — Proverbs 1:6

    7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.DBY — Proverbs 1:7

    8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;DBY — Proverbs 1:8

    9 for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.DBY — Proverbs 1:9

    10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not.DBY — Proverbs 1:10

    11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;DBY — Proverbs 1:11

    12 let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit;DBY — Proverbs 1:12

    13 we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:DBY — Proverbs 1:13

    14 cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse:DBY — Proverbs 1:14

    15 my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;DBY — Proverbs 1:15

    16 for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.DBY — Proverbs 1:16

    17 For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings.DBY — Proverbs 1:17

    18 And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.DBY — Proverbs 1:18

    19 So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors.DBY — Proverbs 1:19

    20 Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways;DBY — Proverbs 1:20

    21 she calleth in the chief [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words:DBY — Proverbs 1:21

    22 How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?DBY — Proverbs 1:22

    23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour forth my spirit unto you, I will make known to you my words.DBY — Proverbs 1:23

    24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;DBY — Proverbs 1:24

    25 and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:DBY — Proverbs 1:25

    26 I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;DBY — Proverbs 1:26

    27 when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:DBY — Proverbs 1:27

    28 then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me.DBY — Proverbs 1:28

    29 Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah;DBY — Proverbs 1:29

    30 they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:DBY — Proverbs 1:30

    31 therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices.DBY — Proverbs 1:31

    32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.DBY — Proverbs 1:32

    33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil.DBY — Proverbs 1:33
