know
wisdom and
instruction; to
perceive the
words of
understanding;
|
- 1:3 To
receive the
instruction of
wisdom,
justice, and
judgment, and

|
- 1:4 To
give
subtilty to the
simple, to the young
man
knowledge and
discretion.
|
- 1:5 A
wise man will
hear, and will
increase
learning; and a man of
understanding shall
attain unto wise

|

interpretation; the
words of the
wise, and their dark
sayings.
|
- 1:7 The
fear of the
LORD is the
beginning of
knowledge: but
fools
despise
wisdom and
instruction.
|
- 1:8 My
son,
hear the
instruction of thy
father, and
forsake not the
law of thy
mother:
|
- 1:9 For they shall be an
ornament of
grace unto thy
head, and
chains about thy
neck.
|
- 1:10 My
son, if
sinners
entice thee,
consent thou not.
|
- 1:11 If they
say,
Come with us, let us lay
wait for
blood, let us
lurk privily for the
innocent without
cause:
|
- 1:12 Let us swallow them
up
alive as the
grave; and
whole, as those that go
down into the
pit:
|
- 1:13 We shall
find all
precious
substance, we shall
fill our
houses with
spoil:
|
- 1:14
Cast in thy
lot
among us; let us all have
one
purse:
|
- 1:15 My
son,
walk not thou in the
way with them;
refrain thy
foot from their
path:
|
- 1:16 For their
feet
run to
evil, and make
haste to
shed
blood.
|
- 1:17 Surely in
vain the
net is
spread in the
sight of any
bird
*.
|
- 1:18 And they lay
wait for their own
blood; they lurk
privily for their own
lives.
|
- 1:19 So are the
ways of every one that is
greedy of
gain; which taketh
away the
life of the
owners thereof.
|
- 1:20
Wisdom
crieth
without; she
uttereth her
voice in the
streets:
|
- 1:21 She
crieth in the chief
place of
concourse, in the
openings of the
gates: in the
city she
uttereth her
words, saying,
|
- 1:22 How long, ye simple
ones, will ye
love
simplicity? and the
scorners
delight in their
scorning, and
fools
hate
knowledge?
|
- 1:23
Turn you at my
reproof: behold, I will pour
out my
spirit unto you, I will make
known my
words unto you.
|
- 1:24 Because I have
called, and ye
refused; I have stretched
out my
hand, and no man
regarded;
|
- 1:25 But ye have set at
nought all my
counsel, and
would none of my
reproof:
|
- 1:26 I also will
laugh at your
calamity; I will
mock when your
fear
cometh;
|
- 1:27 When your
fear
cometh as
desolation
*, and your
destruction
cometh as a
whirlwind; when
distress and
anguish
cometh upon you.
|
- 1:28 Then shall they
call upon me, but I will not
answer; they shall seek me
early, but they shall not
find me:
|
- 1:29 For that they
hated
knowledge, and did not
choose the
fear of the
LORD:
|
- 1:30 They
would none of my
counsel: they
despised all my
reproof.
|
- 1:31 Therefore shall they
eat of the
fruit of their own
way, and be
filled with their own
devices.
|
- 1:32 For the turning
away of the
simple shall
slay them, and the
prosperity of
fools shall
destroy them.
|
- 1:33 But whoso
hearkeneth unto me shall
dwell
safely, and shall be
quiet from
fear of
evil.
