Verse
Proverbs - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
- To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:
- To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:
- To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:
- (The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)
- To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
- The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
- My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:
- For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.
- My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.
- If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;
- Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death;
- Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;
- Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:
- My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
- For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.
- Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:
- And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.
- Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.
- Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;
