To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Proverbs 1 : 4 (AKJV)

To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs 1 : 5 (AKJV)

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:

Proverbs 1 : 10 (AKJV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 11 (AKJV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 12 (AKJV)

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

Proverbs 1 : 13 (AKJV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 14 (AKJV)

Cast in your lot among us; let us all have one purse:

Proverbs 1 : 15 (AKJV)

My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:

Proverbs 1 : 16 (AKJV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 17 (AKJV)

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

Proverbs 1 : 19 (AKJV)

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which takes away the life of the owners thereof.

Proverbs 1 : 20 (AKJV)

Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:

Proverbs 1 : 21 (AKJV)

She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,

Proverbs 1 : 22 (AKJV)

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs 1 : 23 (AKJV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 24 (AKJV)

Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Proverbs 1 : 25 (AKJV)

But you have set at nothing all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Proverbs 1 : 26 (AKJV)

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;

Proverbs 1 : 27 (AKJV)

When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes on you.

Proverbs 1 : 28 (AKJV)

Then shall they call on me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Proverbs 1 : 29 (AKJV)

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Proverbs 1 : 30 (AKJV)

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Proverbs 1 : 31 (AKJV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 32 (AKJV)

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Proverbs 1 : 33 (AKJV)

But whoever listens to me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
