| The Book of Proverbs 1 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Darby Online Bible (DBY) | ||||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:1 | Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:2 | to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:3 | to receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness and judgment, and equity; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:4 | to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:5 | He that is wise will hear, and will increase learning; and the intelligent will gain wise counsels: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:6 | to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:7 | The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:8 | Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:9 | for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:10 | My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:11 | If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:12 | let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:13 | we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:14 | cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:15 | my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:16 | for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:17 | For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:18 | And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:19 | So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:20 | Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:21 | she calleth in the chief [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:22 | How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:24 | Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:25 | and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:26 | I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:27 | when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:29 | Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:30 | they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:31 | therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:32 | For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 1:33 | But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil. | |||||||||||||||
