The Usefulness of Proverbs 1:01 .. The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: 1:02 .. To know wisdom and instruction, to discern the sayings of understanding, 1:03 .. To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity; 1:04 .. To give prudence to the naive, to the youth knowledge and discretion, 1:05 .. A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel, 1:06 .. To understand a proverb and a figure, the words of the wise and their riddles. 1:07 .. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. ........ The Enticement of Sinners 1:08 .. Hear, my son, your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching; 1:09 .. Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck. 1:10 .. My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. 1:11 .. If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause; 1:12 .. Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, even whole, as those who go down to the pit; 1:13 .. We will find all kinds of precious wealth, we will fill our houses with spoil; 1:14 .. Throw in your lot with us, we shall all have one purse,” 1:15 .. My son, do not walk in the way with them. keep your feet from their path, 1:16 .. For their feet run to evil and they hasten to shed blood. 1:17 .. Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net in the sight of any bird; 1:18 .. But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives. 1:19 .. So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence; it takes away the life of its possessors. ........ Wisdom Warns 1:20 .. Wisdom shouts in the street, she lifts her voice in the square; 1:21 .. At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: 1:22 .. “How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? and scoffers delight themselves in scoffing and fools hate knowledge? 1:23 .. “Turn to my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. 1:24 .. “Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention; 1:25 .. And you neglected all my counsel and did not want my reproof; 1:26 .. I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes, 1:27 .. When your dread comes like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 1:28 .. “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but they will not find me, 1:29 .. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord. 1:30 .. “They would not accept my counsel, they spurned all my reproof. 1:31 .. “So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated with their own devices. 1:32 .. “For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them. 1:33 .. “But he who listens to me shall live securely and will be at ease from the dread of evil.” ........
