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

Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding,

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

To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity;

to receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness and judgment, and equity;

To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,

to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

He that is wise will hear, and will increase learning; and the intelligent will gain wise counsels:

To understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles.

to understand a proverb and an allegory, the words of the wise and their enigmas.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Hear, my son, your father’s instruction And do not forsake your mother’s teaching;

Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck.

for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not.

If they say, “Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;

let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit;

We will find all kinds of precious wealth, We will fill our houses with spoil;

we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

Throw in your lot with us, We shall all have one purse,”

cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse:

My son, do not walk in the way with them. Keep your feet from their path,

-- my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;

For their feet run to evil And they hasten to shed blood.

for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.

Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird;

For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings.

But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.

And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.

So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence; It takes away the life of its possessors.

So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors.

Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square;

Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways;

At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:

she calleth in the chief [place] of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words:

“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?

How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?

“Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour forth my spirit unto you, I will make known to you my words.

“Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded;

And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof;

and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes,

I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;

When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:

“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,

-- then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, and shall not find me.

Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD.

Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah;

“They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof.

they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:

“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices.

therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their way, and be filled with their own devices.

“For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall cause them to perish.

“But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil.
