bbe@Proverbs:1:1 @The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

bbe@Proverbs:1:2 @To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:

bbe@Proverbs:1:3 @To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:

bbe@Proverbs:1:4 @To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

bbe@Proverbs:1:5 @(The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)

bbe@Proverbs:1:6 @To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.

bbe@Proverbs:1:7 @The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.

bbe@Proverbs:1:8 @My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

bbe@Proverbs:1:9 @For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.

bbe@Proverbs:1:10 @My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

bbe@Proverbs:1:11 @If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;

bbe@Proverbs:1:12 @Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death;

bbe@Proverbs:1:13 @Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;

bbe@Proverbs:1:14 @Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:

bbe@Proverbs:1:15 @My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:

bbe@Proverbs:1:16 @For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.

bbe@Proverbs:1:17 @Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:

bbe@Proverbs:1:18 @And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.

bbe@Proverbs:1:19 @Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.

bbe@Proverbs:1:20 @Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;

bbe@Proverbs:1:21 @Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:

bbe@Proverbs:1:22 @How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

bbe@Proverbs:1:23 @Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

bbe@Proverbs:1:24 @Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;

bbe@Proverbs:1:25 @You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:

bbe@Proverbs:1:26 @So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;

bbe@Proverbs:1:27 @When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.

bbe@Proverbs:1:28 @Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:

bbe@Proverbs:1:29 @For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:

bbe@Proverbs:1:30 @They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them.

bbe@Proverbs:1:31 @So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.

bbe@Proverbs:1:32 @For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction.

bbe@Proverbs:1:33 @But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.
