1 Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: 2 For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence, 3 For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness, 4 For giving to simple ones—prudence, To a youth—knowledge and discretion. 5 (The wise doth hear and increaseth learning, And the intelligent doth obtain counsels.) 6 For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings. 7 Fear of Jehovah [is] a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised! 8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother, 9 For a graceful wreath [are] they to thy head, And chains to thy neck. 10 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing. 11 If they say, ‘Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause, 12 We swallow them as Sheol—alive, And whole—as those going down [to] the pit, 13 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with] spoil, 14 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is—to all of us.’ 15 My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path, 16 For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood. 17 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird. 18 And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives. 19 So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh. |
