1THE PROVERBS (truths obscurely expressed, maxims, and parables) of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

2That people may know skillful {and} godly Wisdom and instruction, discern {and} comprehend the words of understanding {and} insight,

3Receive instruction in wise dealing {and} the discipline of wise thoughtfulness, righteousness, justice, and integrity,

4That prudence may be given to the simple, and knowledge, discretion, {and} discernment to the youth--

5The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skill {and} attain to sound counsel [so that he may be able to steer his course rightly]--

6That people may understand a proverb and a figure of speech {or} an enigma with its interpretation, and the words of the wise and their dark sayings {or} riddles.

7The reverent {and} worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning {and} the principal {and} choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful {and} godly Wisdom, instruction, {and} discipline.

8My son, hear the instruction of your father; reject not {nor} forsake the teaching of your mother.

9For they are a [victor's] chaplet (garland) of grace upon your head and chains {and} pendants [of gold worn by kings] for your neck.

10My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

11If they say, Come with us; let us lie in wait [to shed] blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause [and show that his piety is in vain];

12Let us swallow them up alive as does Sheol (the place of the dead), and whole, as those who go down into the pit [of the dead];

13We shall find {and} take all kinds of precious goods [when our victims are put out of the way], we shall fill our houses with plunder;

14Throw in your lot with us [they insist] {and} be a sworn brother {and} comrade; let us all have one purse in common--

15My son, do not walk in the way with them; restrain your foot from their path;

16For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.

17For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird!

18But [when these men set a trap for others] they are lying in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.

19So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain; such [greed for plunder] takes away the lives of its possessors.

20Wisdom cries aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the markets;

21She cries at the head of the noisy intersections [in the chief gathering places]; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:

22How long, O simple ones [open to evil], will you love being simple? And the scoffers delight in scoffing and [self-confident] fools hate knowledge?

23If you will turn (repent) {and} give heed to my reproof, behold, I [Wisdom] will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you.

24Because I have called and you have refused [to answer], have stretched out my hand and no man has heeded it,

25And you treated as nothing all my counsel and would accept none of my reproof,

26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when the thing comes that shall cause you terror {and} panic--

27When your panic comes as a storm {and} desolation and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.

28Then will they call upon me [Wisdom] but I will not answer; they will seek me early {and} diligently but they will not find me.

29Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the reverent {and} worshipful fear of the Lord,

30Would accept none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof,

31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated with their own devices.

32For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the careless ease of [self-confident] fools shall destroy them.

33But whoso hearkens to me [Wisdom] shall dwell securely {and} in confident trust and shall be quiet, without fear {or} dread of evil.
