nsb@Proverbs:1:1 @ The proverbs 0f Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

nsb@Proverbs:1:2 @ To know wisdom and instruction. To discern and understand words.

nsb@Proverbs:1:3 @ To receive instruction with wisdom, justice, judgment and integrity.

nsb@Proverbs:1:4 @ To give wisdom and refinement to the simple. To the young man knowledge and discretion.

nsb@Proverbs:1:5 @ A wise man will hear and will increase learning. A man of understanding will procure wise counsel.

nsb@Proverbs:1:6 @ This will help him understand a proverb and the interpretation as well as the words of the wise and their riddles.

nsb@Proverbs:1:7 @ Respect for Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

nsb@Proverbs:1:8 @ My son, listen to the instruction of your father. Do not forsake the law of your mother.

nsb@Proverbs:1:9 @ Discipline and education are a graceful ornament on your head, and a golden chain around your neck.

nsb@Proverbs:1:10 @ My son, if sinners tempt you do not consent.

nsb@Proverbs:1:11 @ If they say: »Come with us. Let us lie in wait to kill someone. Let us ambush the innocent without cause.

nsb@Proverbs:1:12 @ »Let us swallow them alive and whole just as the grave does, and just as the dead go into the pit.

nsb@Proverbs:1:13 @ »We will find precious material possessions and we fill our houses with plunder.

nsb@Proverbs:1:14 @ »Throw in with us. Let us all have one purse.«

nsb@Proverbs:1:15 @ My son, do not walk in the way with them. Withhold your food from their path!

nsb@Proverbs:1:16 @ For their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

nsb@Proverbs:1:17 @ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

nsb@Proverbs:1:18 @ They lie in wait for their own blood. They set an ambush for their own lives.

nsb@Proverbs:1:19 @ So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust dishonest gain. Greed takes away the life of its owner.

nsb@Proverbs:1:20 @ Wisdom calls you! She raises her voice in the streets and marketplaces.

nsb@Proverbs:1:21 @ She calls in the streets, in the opening of the gates: in the city she utters her words. She says:

nsb@Proverbs:1:22 @ »How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? The scoffers delight in scoffing. Fools hate knowledge!

nsb@Proverbs:1:23 @ »Listen when I reprove you. I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make my words known to you.

nsb@Proverbs:1:24 @ »I called you! I stretched out my hand to you. You paid no attention to me.

nsb@Proverbs:1:25 @ »You have ignored all my counsel. You accept no correction.

nsb@Proverbs:1:26 @ »I also will laugh at your trouble. I will mock when your fear comes.

nsb@Proverbs:1:27 @ »Trouble and distress will surround you like a whirlwind, like a great storm.

nsb@Proverbs:1:28 @ »You will ask for my help, but I will not listen. You will search, but you will not find me.

nsb@Proverbs:1:29 @ »You have no use for knowledge and you refuse to respect Jehovah.

nsb@Proverbs:1:30 @ »You rejected my advice and paid no attention when I warned you.

nsb@Proverbs:1:31 @ »Now you will get what you deserve for what you have done. Your own advice will make you sick.

nsb@Proverbs:1:32 @ »Sin and self-satisfaction bring destruction and death to stupid fools.

nsb@Proverbs:1:33 @ »Whoever listens to me will be secure and will be free from the fear of evil.«
