V.1 The Proverbs 4912 of Solomon 8010 the son 1121 of David, 1732 king 4428 of Israel; 3478

1:2 To know 3045-2 wisdom 2451 and instruction; 4148 to perceive 995-53 the words 561 of understanding; 998

1:3 To receive 3947-2 the instruction 4148 of wisdom, 7919-53 justice, 6664 and judgment, 4941 and equity; 4339

1:4 To give 5414-2 subtilty 6195 to the simple, 6612 to the young man 5288 knowledge 1847 and discretion. 4209

1:5 A wise 2450 [man] will hear, 8085-4 and will increase 3254-55 learning; 3948 and a man of understanding 995-12 shall attain 7069-4 unto wise counsels: 8458

1:6 To understand 995-53 a proverb, 4912 and the interpretation; 4426 the words 1697 of the wise, 2450 and their dark sayings. 2420

1:7 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 [is] the beginning 7225 of knowledge: 1847 [but] fools 191 despise 936-1 wisdom 2451 and instruction. 4148

1:8 My son, 1121 hear 8085-3 the instruction 4148 of thy father, 1 and forsake 5203-4 not the law 8451 of thy mother: 517

1:9 For they [shall be] an ornament 3880 of grace 2580 unto thy head, 7218 and chains 6060 about thy neck. 1621

1:10 My son, 1121 if sinners 2400 entice 6601-17 thee, consent 14-4 thou not.

1:11 If they say, 559-4 Come 3212-3 with us, let us lay wait 693-4 for blood, 1818 let us lurk privily 6845-4 for the innocent 5355 without cause: 2600

1:12 Let us swallow them up 1104-4 alive 2416 as the grave; 7585 and whole, 8549 as those that go down 3381-6 into the pit: 953

1:13 We shall find 4672-4 all precious 3368 substance, 1952 we shall fill 4390-17 our houses 1004 with spoil: 7998

1:14 Cast 5307-55 in thy lot 1486 among 8432 us; let us all have one 259 purse: 3599

1:15 My son, 1121 walk 3212-4 not thou in the way 1870 with them; refrain 4513-3 thy foot 7272 from their path: 5410

1:16 For their feet 7272 run 7323-4 to evil, 7451 and make haste 4116-17 to shed 8210-2 blood. 1818

1:17 Surely in vain 2600 the net 7568 is spread 2219-30 in the sight 5869 of any bird. 1167 3671

1:18 And they lay wait 693-4 for their [own] blood; 1818 they lurk privily 6845-4 for their [own] lives. 5315

1:19 So [are] the ways 734 of every one that is greedy 1214-6 of gain; 1215 [which] taketh away 3947-4 the life 5315 of the owners 1167 thereof.

1:20 Wisdom 2454 crieth 7442-4 without; 2351 she uttereth 5414-4 her voice 6963 in the streets: 7339

1:21 She crieth 7121-4 in the chief place 7218 of concourse, 1993-6 in the openings 6607 of the gates: 8179 in the city 5892 she uttereth 559-4 her words, 561 [saying],

1:22 How long, ye simple ones, 6612 will ye love 157-4 simplicity? 6612 and the scorners 3887-5 delight 2530-1 in their scorning, 3944 and fools 3684 hate 8130-4 knowledge? 1847

1:23 Turn 7725-4 you at my reproof: 8433 behold, I will pour out 5042-55 my spirit 7307 unto you, I will make known 3045- 55 my words 1697 unto you.

1:24 Because I have called, 7121-1 and ye refused; 3985-17 I have stretched out 5186-1 my hand, 3027 and no man regarded; 7181-56

1:25 But ye have set at nought 6544-4 all my counsel, 6098 and would 14-1 none of my reproof: 8433

1:26 I also will laugh 7832-4 at your calamity; 343 I will mock 3932-4 when your fear 6343 cometh; 935-2

1:27 When your fear 6343 cometh 935-2 as desolation, 7722|7584-k and your destruction 343 cometh 857-4 as a whirlwind; 5492 when distress 6869 and anguish 6695 cometh 935-2 upon you.

1:28 Then shall they call 7121-4 upon me, but I will not answer; 6030-4 they shall seek me early, 7836-17 but they shall not find 4672-4 me:

1:29 For that they hated 8130-1 knowledge, 1847 and did not choose 977-1 the fear 3374 of the LORD: 3068

1:30 They would 14-1 none of my counsel: 6098 they despised 5006-1 all my reproof. 8433

1:31 Therefore shall they eat 398-4 of the fruit 6529 of their own way, 1870 and be filled 7646-4 with their own devices. 4156

1:32 For the turning away 4878 of the simple 6612 shall slay 2026-4 them, and the prosperity 7962 of fools 3684 shall destroy 6-17 them.
