Proverbs 1:16 (KJV) King James Version

1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
1 The proverbs H4912 of Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David, H1732 king H4428 of Israel; H3478
2 To know H3045 wisdom H2451 and instruction; H4148 to perceive H995 the words H561 of understanding; H998
3 To receive H3947 the instruction H4148 of wisdom, H7919 justice, H6664 and judgment, H4941 and equity; H4339
4 To give H5414 subtlety H6195 to the simple, H6612 to the young man H5288 knowledge H1847 and discretion. H4209
5 A wise H2450 man will hear, H8085 and will increase H3254 learning; H3948 and a man of understanding H995 shall attain H7069 unto wise counsels: H8458
6 To understand H995 a proverb, H4912 and the interpretation; H4426 the words H1697 of the wise, H2450 and their dark sayings. H2420
7 The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 is the beginning H7225 of knowledge: H1847 but fools H191 despise H936 wisdom H2451 and instruction. H4148
8 My son, H1121 hear H8085 the instruction H4148 of thy father, H1 and forsake H5203 not H408 the law H8451 of thy mother: H517
9 For H3588 they H1992 shall be an ornament H3880 of grace H2580 unto thy head, H7218 and chains H6060 about thy neck. H1621
10 My son, H1121 if H518 sinners H2400 entice H6601 thee, consent H14 thou not. H408
11 If H518 they say, H559 Come H1980 with H854 us , let us lay wait H693 for blood, H1818 let us lurk privily H6845 for the innocent H5355 without cause: H2600
12 Let us swallow them up H1104 alive H2416 as the grave; H7585 and whole, H8549 as those that go down H3381 into the pit: H953
13 We shall find H4672 all H3605 precious H3368 substance, H1952 we shall fill H4390 our houses H1004 with spoil: H7998
14 Cast in H5307 thy lot H1486 among H8432 us ; let us all H3605 have H1961 one H259 purse: H3599
15 My son, H1121 walk H1980 not H408 thou in the way H1870 with H854 them; refrain H4513 thy foot H7272 from their path H4480 H5410 :
16 For H3588 their feet H7272 run H7323 to evil, H7451 and make haste H4116 to shed H8210 blood. H1818
17 Surely H3588 in vain H2600 the net H7568 is spread H2219 in the sight H5869 of any H3605 bird H1167 H3671 .
18 And they H1992 lay wait H693 for their own blood; H1818 they lurk privily H6845 for their own lives. H5315
19 So H3651 are the ways H734 of every one H3605 that is greedy H1214 of gain; H1215 which taketh away H3947 H853 the life H5315 of the owners H1167 thereof.
20 Wisdom H2454 crieth H7442 without; H2351 she uttereth H5414 her voice H6963 in the streets: H7339
21 She crieth H7121 in the chief H7218 place of concourse, H1993 in the openings H6607 of the gates: H8179 in the city H5892 she uttereth H559 her words, H561 saying ,
22 How long H5704 H4970 , ye simple ones, H6612 will ye love H157 simplicity H6612 ? and the scorners H3887 delight H2530 in their scorning, H3944 and fools H3684 hate H8130 knowledge H1847 ?
23 Turn H7725 you at my reproof: H8433 behold, H2009 I will pour out H5042 my spirit H7307 unto you , I will make known H3045 my words H1697 unto you.
24 Because H3282 I have called, H7121 and ye refused; H3985 I have stretched out H5186 my hand, H3027 and no man H369 regarded; H7181
25 But ye have set at naught H6544 all H3605 my counsel, H6098 and would H14 none H3808 of my reproof: H8433
26 I H589 also H1571 will laugh H7832 at your calamity; H343 I will mock H3932 when your fear H6343 cometh; H935
27 When your fear H6343 cometh H935 as desolation, H7722 and your destruction H343 cometh H857 as a whirlwind; H5492 when distress H6869 and anguish H6695 cometh H935 upon H5921 you.
28 Then H227 shall they call upon H7121 me , but I will not H3808 answer; H6030 they shall seek me early, H7836 but they shall not H3808 find H4672 me:
29 For that H8478 H3588 they hated H8130 knowledge, H1847 and did not H3808 choose H977 the fear H3374 of the LORD: H3068
30 They would H14 none H3808 of my counsel: H6098 they despised H5006 all H3605 my reproof. H8433
31 Therefore shall they eat H398 of the fruit H4480 H6529 of their own way, H1870 and be filled H7646 with their own devices H4480 H4156 .
32 For H3588 the turning away H4878 of the simple H6612 shall slay H2026 them , and the prosperity H7962 of fools H3684 shall destroy H6 them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth H8085 unto me shall dwell H7931 safely, H983 and shall be quiet H7599 from fear H4480 H6343 of evil. H7451
