The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:

To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;

Proverbs 1:3 (WEB)
To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness, justice, and equity;

Proverbs 1:4 (WEB)
To give prudence to the simple, Knowledge and discretion to the young man:

Proverbs 1:5 (WEB)
That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; That the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

Proverbs 1:6 (WEB)
To understand a proverb, and parables, The words and riddles of the wise.

Proverbs 1:7 (WEB)
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:8 (WEB)
My son, listen to your father's instruction, And don't forsake your mother's teaching:

Proverbs 1:9 (WEB)
For they will be a garland to grace your head, And chains around your neck.

Proverbs 1:10 (WEB)
My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.

Proverbs 1:11 (WEB)
If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; Let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

Proverbs 1:12 (WEB)
Let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down into the pit.

Proverbs 1:13 (WEB)
We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with spoil.

Proverbs 1:14 (WEB)
You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse."

Proverbs 1:15 (WEB)
My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,

Proverbs 1:16 (WEB)
For their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

Proverbs 1:17 (WEB)
For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:

Proverbs 1:18 (WEB)
But these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.

Proverbs 1:19 (WEB)
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.

Proverbs 1:20 (WEB)
Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.

Proverbs 1:21 (WEB)
She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

Proverbs 1:22 (WEB)
"How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, And fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs 1:23 (WEB)
Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.

Proverbs 1:24 (WEB)
Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

Proverbs 1:25 (WEB)
But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof;

Proverbs 1:26 (WEB)
I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;

Proverbs 1:27 (WEB)
When calamity overtakes you like a storm, When your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come on you.

Proverbs 1:28 (WEB)
Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

Proverbs 1:29 (WEB)
Because they hated knowledge, And didn't choose the fear of Yahweh.

Proverbs 1:30 (WEB)
They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

Proverbs 1:31 (WEB)
Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own schemes.

Proverbs 1:32 (WEB)
For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.

Proverbs 1:33 (WEB)
But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, And will be at ease, without fear of harm."
