1. The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel.
2. To know wisdom and discipline, to understand sayings of insight.
3. to receive instruction in prudence, righteousness, justice, and equity;
4. To give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth.
5. The wise hears and increases learning, and the discerning acquires guidance.
6. to understand a proverb and an enigma, the sayings of the wise and their riddles.
7. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8. My son, hear your father's discipline, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
9. For they will be a graceful garland for your head and chains for your neck.
10. My son, if sinners allure you, do not yield.
11. If they say, "Come with us, let’s lie in ambush for blood; let’s hide for the innocent without reason."
12. Let us devour them alive like Sheol, and whole, like those descending into the pit.
13. We will find all precious riches and fill our houses with plunder.
14. Cast your lot among us; one purse will be for all of us.
15. My son, do not walk their way with them; withhold your foot from their path.
16. For their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed blood.
17. For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird.
18. Yet they lie in wait for their own blood; they hide secretly for their own lives.
19. Such are the ways of everyone greedy for gain; it takes the life of its owners.
20. Wisdom cries out abroad; she gives her voice in the streets.
21. She calls at the head of clamorous places, at the entrances of the city gates she speaks her words.
22. How long, simple ones, will you love simplicity, while scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?
23. Turn back to my correction. See, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make my words known to you.
24. Because I called, and you refused; I held out my hand, and no one heeded.
25. but you ignored all my counsel and had no desire for my reproof.
26. I too will laugh at your calamity and mock when your dread arrives.
27. when your terror comes like desolation and devastation, and your disaster like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you.
28. Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will seek me early, but they will not find me.
29. because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of Yahweh.
30. They refused my counsel and despised all my reproof.
31. They will eat the fruit of their way and be filled with their own counsels.
32. For the backsliding of the simple kills them, and the complacency of fools destroys them.
33. Whoever listens to me will dwell securely and be at ease, free from dread of calamity.
