Proverbs 1 : 1 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 2 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 3 (LITV)

to receive instruction in prudence, justice, and judgment, and uprightness;

Proverbs 1 : 4 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 5 (LITV)

The wise hears and increases learning, and the understanding ones gets wise counsel,

Proverbs 1 : 6 (LITV)

to understand a proverb and an enigma; the words of the wise, and their acute sayings.

Proverbs 1 : 7 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 8 (LITV)

My son, hear your father's instruction, and do not forsake the law of your mother;

Proverbs 1 : 9 (LITV)

for they shall be an ornament of grace to your head, and chains for your neck.

Proverbs 1 : 10 (LITV)

My son, if sinners lure you, do not be willing.

Proverbs 1 : 11 (LITV)

If they say, Walk with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us secretly lurk for the innocent without cause,

Proverbs 1 : 12 (LITV)

let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those who go down into the Pit,

Proverbs 1 : 13 (LITV)

we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder,

Proverbs 1 : 14 (LITV)

cast in your lot among us, one purse shall be to all of us.

Proverbs 1 : 15 (LITV)

My son, do not walk in the way with them! Hold back your foot from their path;

Proverbs 1 : 16 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 17 (LITV)

For in vain the net is spread in the sight of every bird.

Proverbs 1 : 18 (LITV)

And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own souls.

Proverbs 1 : 19 (LITV)

So are the ways of everyone who gets unjust gain; it takes away its owner's soul.

Proverbs 1 : 20 (LITV)

Wisdom cries aloud outside; she gives her voice in the square;

Proverbs 1 : 21 (LITV)

she calls at the head of places of commotion; in the opening of the gates, in the city she utters her words:

Proverbs 1 : 22 (LITV)

Until when will you love to be simple, you simple ones? And will scorners desire scorn for themselves? And will fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs 1 : 23 (LITV)

Turn back at my warning; behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.

Proverbs 1 : 24 (LITV)

Because I called, and you refused; I stretch out a hand, and none inclines,

Proverbs 1 : 25 (LITV)

but you have ignored all my counsel, and you did not desire my warning.

Proverbs 1 : 26 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 27 (LITV)

when your dread comes like a storm; and your calamity arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come on you.

Proverbs 1 : 28 (LITV)

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

Proverbs 1 : 29 (LITV)

Instead they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.

Proverbs 1 : 30 (LITV)

They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof,

Proverbs 1 : 31 (LITV)

and they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own lusts.

Proverbs 1 : 32 (LITV)

For the going astray of the simple kills them, and the ease of fools destroys them.

Proverbs 1 : 33 (LITV)

But he who listens to me shall live securely and shall be at ease from the dread of evil.
