Proverbs 1




dby@Proverbs:1:1 @ Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

dby@Proverbs:1:2 @ to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dby@Proverbs:1:10 @ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dby@Proverbs:1:20 @ Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dby@Proverbs:1:30 @ they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:

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

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

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