1 The proverbs H4912 CMP of Solomon H8010 MMS the son H1121 CMS of David H1732 MMS , king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 LMS ;
2 To know H3045 L-VQFC wisdom H2451 NFS and instruction H4148 W-NMS ; to perceive H995 L-VHFC the words H561 CMP of understanding H998 NFS ;
3 To receive H3947 L-VQFC the instruction H4148 CMS of wisdom H7919 VHFA , justice H6664 NMS , and judgment H4941 W-NMS , and equity H4339 W-NMP ;
4 To give H5414 L-VQFC subtlety H6195 NFS to the simple H6612 L-NMP , to the young man H5288 L-NMS knowledge H1847 NFS and discretion H4209 W-NFS .
5 A wise H2450 AMS man will hear H8085 VQY3MS , and will increase H3254 W-VHI3MS learning H3948 NMS ; and a man of understanding H995 W-VNPMS shall attain H7069 VQY3MS unto wise counsels H8458 NFP :
6 To understand H995 L-VHFC a proverb H4912 NMS , and the interpretation H4426 W-NFS ; the words H1697 CMP of the wise H2450 AMP , and their dark sayings H2420 W-CFS-3MP .
7 The fear H3374 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS is the beginning H7225 CFS of knowledge H1847 NFS : but fools H191 NMP despise H936 VQQ3MP wisdom H2451 NFS and instruction H4148 W-NMS .
8 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , hear H8085 VQI2MS the instruction H4148 CMS of thy father H1 NMS , and forsake H5203 VQY2MS not H408 W-NPAR the law H8451 CFS of thy mother H517 CFS-2MS :
9 For H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP shall be an ornament H3880 CFS of grace H2580 NMS unto thy head H7218 L-CMS-2MS , and chains H6060 W-NMP about thy neck H1621 L-CFP-2MS .
10 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , if H518 PART sinners H2400 AMP entice H6601 VPY3MP-2MS thee , consent H14 thou not H408 NPAR .
11 If H518 PART they say H559 VQY3MP , Come H1980 VQI2MS-3FS with H854 PREP-1MP us , let us lay wait H693 VQI1MP for blood H1818 L-NMS , let us lurk privily H6845 VQY1MP for the innocent H5355 L-AMS without cause H2600 ADV :
12 Let us swallow them up H1104 VQI1MP-3MP alive H2416 NMP as the grave H7585 K-NMS ; and whole H8549 W-AMP , as those that go down H3381 K-VQCMP into the pit H953 NMS :
13 We shall find H4672 VNQ3MS all H3605 NMS precious H3368 AMS substance H1952 NMS , we shall fill H4390 VPI2MS our houses H1004 CMP-1MP with spoil H7998 NMS :
14 Cast in H5307 VHY2MS thy lot H1486 CMS-2MS among H8432 B-CMS-1MP us ; let us all H3605 L-CMS-1MP have H1961 VQY3MS one H259 MMS purse H3599 NMS :
15 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , walk H1980 VQY2MS not H408 NPAR thou in the way H1870 B-NMS with H854 PREP-3MP them ; refrain H4513 VQI2MS thy foot H7272 CFS-2MS from their path H5410 M-CFS-3MP :
16 For H3588 CONJ their feet H7272 CFD-3MP run H7323 VQY3MP to evil H7451 LD-AMS , and make haste H4116 W-VPY3MP to shed H8210 L-VQFC blood H1818 NMS .
17 Surely H3588 CONJ in vain H2600 ADV the net H7568 D-NFS is spread H2219 VUPFS in the sight H5869 B-CMP of any H3605 CMS bird H1167 CMS .
18 And they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP lay wait H693 VQY3MP for their own blood H1818 L-CMS-3MP ; they lurk privily H6845 VQY3MP for their own lives H5315 L-CFP-3MP .
19 So H3651 ADV are the ways H734 CFP of every one H3605 NMS that is greedy H1214 NMS of gain H1215 NMS ; which taketh away H3947 VQY3MS the life H5315 GFS of the owners H1167 CMP-3MS thereof .
20 Wisdom H2454 NFP crieth H7442 VQY3FP without H2351 BD-NMS ; she uttereth H5414 VQY2MS her voice H6963 CMS-3FS in the streets H7339 BD-NFP :
21 She crieth H7121 VQI2MS in the chief H7218 B-NMS place of concourse H1993 VQPFP , in the openings H6607 B-CMP of the gates H8179 NMP : in the city H5892 BD-NFS she uttereth H559 VQY3FS her words H561 CMP-3FS , saying ,
22 How long H5704 PREP , ye simple ones H6612 NMP , will ye love H157 VQY2MP simplicity H6612 NMS ? and the scorners H3887 W-VQPMP delight H2530 VQQ3MP in their scorning H3944 NMS , and fools H3684 W-NMP hate H8130 VQY3MP knowledge H1847 NFS ?
23 Turn H7725 VQY2MP you at my reproof H8433 L-CFS-1MS : behold H2009 IJEC , I will pour out H5042 VHI1MS my spirit H7307 CFS-1MS unto you , I will make known H3045 VHI1MS my words H1697 CMP-1MS unto you .
24 Because H3282 ADV I have called H7121 VQQ1CS , and ye refused H3985 W-VPY2MP ; I have stretched out H5186 VQQ1MS my hand H3027 CFS-1MS , and no man H369 W-NPAR regarded H7181 VHPMS ;
25 But ye have set at naught H6544 W-VQY2MP all H3605 CMS my counsel H6098 CFS-1MS , and would H14 VQQ2MP none H3808 NADV of my reproof H8433 W-CFS-1MS :
26 I H589 PPRO-1MS also H1571 CONJ will laugh H7832 VQY1MS at your calamity H343 B-CMS-2MP ; I will mock H3932 VQY1MS when your fear H6343 CMS-2MP cometh H935 B-VQFC ;
27 When your fear H6343 CMS-2MP cometh H935 B-VQFC as desolation H7722 , and your destruction H343 W-CMS-3MP cometh H857 VQY3MS as a whirlwind H5492 K-VQFC ; when distress H6869 NFS and anguish H6695 W-NFS cometh H935 B-VQFC upon H5921 PREP-2MP you .
28 Then H227 ADV shall they call upon H7121 VQY3MP-3FP-1MS me , but I will not H3808 W-NPAR answer H6030 VQY1MS ; they shall seek me early H7836 VPY3MP-3FP-1MS , but they shall not H3808 W-NPAR find H4672 VQY3MP-3FP-1MS me :
29 For that NMS they hated H8130 VQQ3MP knowledge H1847 NFS , and did not H3808 NADV choose H977 VQQ3MP the fear H3374 W-CFS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS :
30 They would H14 VQQ3MP none H3808 NADV of my counsel H6098 L-CFS-1MS : they despised H5006 VQQ3MP all H3605 NMS my reproof H8433 CFS-1MS .
31 Therefore shall they eat H398 W-VQY3MP of the fruit H6529 M-CMS of their own way H1870 CMS-3MP , and be filled H7646 VQY3MP with their own devices H4156 WM-CFP-3MP .
32 For H3588 CONJ the turning away H4878 CFS of the simple H6612 NMP shall slay H2026 VQY3FS-3MP them , and the prosperity H7962 W-CFS of fools H3684 NMP shall destroy H6 VPY3FS-3MP them .
33 But whoso hearkeneth H8085 W-VQPMS unto me shall dwell H7931 VQY3MS safely H983 NMS , and shall be quiet H7599 W-VPQ3MS from fear H6343 M-CMS of evil H7451 AFS .
