Proverbs 1 (NKJV) New 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, judgment, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion --
5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother;
9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
11 If they say, "Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, We shall fill our houses with spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse" --
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path;
16 For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely, in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.
20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.
21 She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words:
22 "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.
23 Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD,
30 They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."
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 .
