Proverbs 1
1 The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel;
[the] proverbs of Solomon [the] son of David [the] king of Israel.
2 to know wisdom and instruction, and to perceive words of understanding;
To learn wisdom and discipline to teach words of understanding.
3 to receive also hard saying, and to understand true justice, and [how] to direct judgment;
To receive correction of insight righteousness and justice and uprightness.
4 that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding.
To give to naive people prudence to a youth knowledge and discretion.
5 For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and man of understanding will gain direction;
Let him listen a prudent [one] and let him increase insight and a discerning [one] wise directions let him get.
6 and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the saying of the wise also, and riddles.
To understand a proverb and an enigma [the] words of learned ones and parables their.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and [there is] good understanding to all that practise it: and piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nothing wisdom and instruction.
[the] fear of Yahweh [is the] beginning of knowledge wisdom and discipline fools they despise.
8 Hear, [my] son, the instruction of your father, and reject not the rules of your mother.
Listen to O son my [the] correction of father your and may not you reject [the] instruction of mother your.
9 For you shall receive for your head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round your neck.
For - [will be] a wreath of favor they for head your and necklaces for neck your.
10 [My] son, let not ungodly men lead you astray, neither consent you [to them].
O son my if they will entice you sinners may not you be willing.
11 If they should exhort you, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth:
If they will say come! with us let us lie in wait for blood let us lie hidden for an innocent [one] without cause.
12 and let us swallow him alive, as Hades [would], and remove the memorial of him from the earth: (Sheol h7585)
Let us engulf them like Sheol alive and complete like [those who] go down of [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
13 let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils:
All wealth prized we will find we will fill houses our plunder.
14 but do you cast in your lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch:
Lot your you will cast in midst of us a bag one it will belong to all of us.
15 go not in the way with them, but turn aside your foot from their paths:
O son my may not you walk in [the] way with them restrain foot your from pathway their.
16 [For their feet run to do evil, and are swift to shed blood. ]
For feet their to evil they run and they may make haste to shed blood.
17 for nets are not without cause spread for birds.
For in vain [is] spread out the net in [the] eyes of every owner of a wing.
18 For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.
And they for own blood their they lie in wait they lie hidden for own life their.
19 These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.
[are] thus [the] paths of Every [one who] gains unjustly unjust gain [the] life of owners its it will take.
20 Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.
Wisdom in the street it cries aloud in the open places she gives voice her.
21 And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says,
At [the] top of noisy [places] she calls out at [the] entrances of [the] gates in the city sayings her she utters.
22 So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.
Until when? - O naive people will you love naivete and mockers mockery do they delight in? themselves and fools will they hate? knowledge.
23 Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.
You will turn back to rebuke my here! I will pour out to you spirit my let me declare words my you.
24 Since I called, and you did not listen; and I spoke at length, and you gave no heed;
Because I called and you refused I offered hand my and there not [was] an attentive [one].
25 but you set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;
And you ignored all advice my and rebuke my not you yielded to.
26 therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against [you] when ruin comes upon you:
Also I at calamity your I will laugh I will mock when comes dread your.
27 yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and [your] overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
When comes (like devastation *Q(K)*) dread your and calamity your like a storm-wind it will arrive when comes on you trouble and distress.
28 For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find [me].
Then they will call to me and not I will answer they will earnestly seek me and not they will find me.
29 For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:
Because for they hated knowledge and [the] fear of Yahweh not they chose.
30 neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.
Not they yielded to advice my they spurned all rebuke my.
31 Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
So they may eat from [the] fruit of way their and from own schemes their they will be surfeited.
32 For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.
For [the] waywardness of naive people it will ruin them and [the] ease of fools it will destroy them.
33 But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil.
And [one who] listens to me he will dwell security and he will be at ease from dread of trouble.
