1:2
ad sciendam sapientiam et disciplinam

1:3
ad intellegenda verba prudentiae et suscipiendam eruditionemdoctrinae iustitiam et iudicium et aequitatem

1:4
ut detur parvulis astutia adulescenti scientia etintellectus

1:5
audiens sapiens sapientior erit et intellegens gubernaculapossidebit

1:6
animadvertet parabolam et interpretationem verba sapientiumet enigmata eorum

1:7

1:8
audi fili mi disciplinam patris tui et ne dimittas legemmatris tuae

1:9
ut addatur gratia capiti tuo et torques collo tuo

1:10
fili mi si te lactaverint peccatores ne adquiescas

1:11
si dixerint veni nobiscum insidiemur sanguini abscondamustendiculas contra insontem frustra

1:12
degluttiamus eum sicut infernus viventem et integrum quasidescendentem in lacum

1:13
omnem pretiosam substantiam repperiemus implebimus domosnostras spoliis

1:14

1:15
fili mi ne ambules cum eis prohibe pedem tuum a semitiseorum

1:16
pedes enim illorum ad malum currunt et festinant uteffundant sanguinem

1:17
frustra autem iacitur rete ante oculos pinnatorum

1:18
ipsique contra sanguinem suum insidiantur et moliunturfraudes contra animas suas

1:19

1:26
ego quoque in interitu vestro ridebo et subsannabo cumvobis quod timebatis advenerit

1:27
cum inruerit repentina calamitas et interitus quasitempestas ingruerit quando venerit super vos tribulatio etangustia

1:28
tunc invocabunt me et non exaudiam mane consurgent et noninvenient me

1:29
eo quod exosam habuerint disciplinam et timorem Domini nonsusceperint

1:30
nec adquieverint consilio meo et detraxerint universaecorreptioni meae

1:31
comedent igitur fructus viae suae suisque consiliissaturabuntur

1:32
aversio parvulorum interficiet eos et prosperitas stultorumperdet illos

1:33
qui autem me audierit absque terrore requiescet etabundantia perfruetur malorum timore sublato

001:001
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

001:002
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

001:003
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

001:004
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

001:005
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

001:006
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

001:007
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

001:008
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

001:009
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

001:010
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

001:011
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

001:012
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

001:013
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

001:014
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

001:015
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

001:016
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

001:017
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

001:018
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

001:019
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

001:020
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

001:021
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

001:022
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

001:023
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

001:024
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

001:025
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

001:026
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

001:027
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

001:028
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

001:029
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

001:030
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

001:031
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

001:032
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

001:033
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
