Proverb:1:13: We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
Proverb:1:14: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
Proverb:1:15: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
Proverb:1:16: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Proverb:1:17: Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Proverb:1:18: And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
Proverb:1:19: So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
Proverb:1:20: Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
Proverb:1:21: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
Proverb:1:22: How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Proverb:1:23: Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Proverb:1:24: Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
Proverb:1:25: But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
Proverb:1:26: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Proverb:1:27: When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Proverb:1:28: Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Proverb:1:29: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Proverb:1:30: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Proverb:1:31: Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Proverb:1:32: For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Proverb:1:33: But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Chapter 2
Proverb:2:1: My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
Proverb:2:2: So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Proverb:2:3: Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Proverb:2:4: If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Proverb:2:5: Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Proverb:2:6: For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverb:2:7: He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Proverb:2:8: He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Proverb:2:9: Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
Proverb:2:10: When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
