Proverbs 1 : 9 (YLT)

For a graceful wreath *are they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.

Proverbs 1 : 10 (YLT)

My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

We swallow them as Sheol -- alive, And whole -- as those going down *to the pit,

Proverbs 1 : 13 (YLT)

Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses *with spoil,

Proverbs 1 : 14 (YLT)

Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is -- to all of us.`

My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,

For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.

Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice,

Proverbs 1 : 21 (YLT)

At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith:

Proverbs 1 : 22 (YLT)

`Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs 1 : 23 (YLT)

Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.

Proverbs 1 : 24 (YLT)

Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

Proverbs 1 : 25 (YLT)

And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.

Proverbs 1 : 26 (YLT)

I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,

Proverbs 1 : 27 (YLT)

When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.

Proverbs 1 : 28 (YLT)

Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

Proverbs 1 : 29 (YLT)

Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

Proverbs 1 : 30 (YLT)

They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,

Proverbs 1 : 31 (YLT)

And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.

Proverbs 1 : 32 (YLT)

For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.

Proverbs 1 : 33 (YLT)

And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And *is quiet from fear of evil!`
