  • 1 The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
  • 2 to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
  • 3 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
  • 4 to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man:
  • 5 that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
  • 6 to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.
  • 7 The fear of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
  • 8 My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:
  • 9 for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.
  • 10 My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.
  • 11 If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lay in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
  • 12 Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, Sheol is the place of the dead. and whole, like those who go down into the pit.
  • 13 We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
  • 14 You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse.”
  • 15 My son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,
  • 16 for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
  • 17 For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:
  • 18 but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
  • 19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
  • 20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
  • 21 She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
  • 22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
  • 23 Turn at my reproof. Behold, “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.
  • 24 Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
  • 25 but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
  • 26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;
  • 27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.
  • 28 Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
  • 29 because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.
  • 30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
  • 31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.
  • 32 For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
  • 33 But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
