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