| Proverbs 1:2 | to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; | To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason: |

| Proverbs 1:6 | to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas. | To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings. |

| Proverbs 1:10 | My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not. | My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them. |
| Proverbs 1:11 | If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; | If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause; |
| Proverbs 1:12 | let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; | Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death; |
| Proverbs 1:13 | we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: | Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth; |
| Proverbs 1:14 | cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse: | Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag: |
| Proverbs 1:15 | my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path; | My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways: |

| Proverbs 1:17 | For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings. | Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird: |

| Proverbs 1:19 | So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors. | Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners. |
| Proverbs 1:20 | Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways; | Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places; |
| Proverbs 1:21 | she calleth in the chief [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words: | Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town: |
| Proverbs 1:22 | How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge? | 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? |
| 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. | 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. |
| Proverbs 1:24 | Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded; | Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand; |
| Proverbs 1:25 | and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: | You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words: |
| Proverbs 1:26 | I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh; | So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear; |
| Proverbs 1:27 | when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you: | When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you. |
| Proverbs 1:28 | then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me. | Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me: |
| Proverbs 1:29 | Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah; | For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord: |
| Proverbs 1:30 | they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof: | They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them. |

| Proverbs 1:32 | For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish. | 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. |
| Proverbs 1:33 | But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil. | But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil. |
