The Prouerbes
The
Prouerbes
of
Solomon
the
sonne
of
Dauid,
King
of
Israel,
2
To
knowe
wisedome
and
instruction,
to
perceiue
the
words
of
vnderstanding,
3
To
receiue
the
instruction
of
wisdome,
iustice,
and
iudgement
&
equitie,
4
To
giue
subtiltie
to
the
simple,
to
the
yong
man
knowledge
and
discretion.
5
A
wise
man
wil
heare,
and
wil
increase
learning:
and
a
man
of
vnderstanding
shall
attaine
vnto
wise
counsels:
6
To
vnderstand
a
prouerbe,
and
the
interpretation;
the
wordes
of
the
wise,
and
their
darke
sayings.
7
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is
the
beginning
of
knowledge:
but
fooles
despise
wisedome
and
instruction.
8
My
sonne,
heare
the
instruction
of
thy
father,
and
forsake
not
the
law
of
thy
mother.
9
For
they
shall
be
an
ornament
of
grace
vnto
thy
head,
and
chaines
about
thy
necke.
10
My
sonne,
if
sinners
entise
thee,
consent
thou
not.
11
If
they
say,
Come
with
vs,
let
vs
lay
wait
for
blood,
let
vs
lurke
priuily
for
the
innocent
without
cause:
12
Let
vs
swallow
them
vp
aliue,
as
the
graue,
and
whole,
as
those
that
goe
downe
into
the
pit:
13
Wee
shall
finde
all
precious
substance,
wee
shall
fill
our
houses
with
spoile:
14
Cast
in
thy
lot
among
vs,
let
vs
all
haue
one
purse:
15
My
sonne,
walke
not
thou
in
the
way
with
them;
refraine
thy
foot
from
their
path:
16
For
their
feete
runne
to
euil,
and
make
haste
to
shed
blood.
17
Surely
in
vaine
the
net
is
spread
in
the
sight
of
any
bird.
18
And
they
lay
wait
for
their
owne
blood,
they
lurke
priuily
for
their
owne
liues.
19
So
are
the
waies
of
euery
one
that
is
greedie
of
gaine:
which
taketh
away
the
life
of
the
owners
thereof.
20
Wisedome
crieth
without,
she
vttereth
her
voice
in
the
streets:
21
Shee
crieth
in
the
chiefe
place
of
concourse,
in
the
openings
of
the
gates:
in
the
city
she
vttereth
her
words,
saying,
22
How
long,
ye
simple
ones,
will
ye
loue
simplicitie?
And
the
scorners
delight
in
their
scorning,
and
fooles
hate
knowledge?
23
Turne
you
at
my
reproofe:
behold,
I
will
powre
out
my
spirit
vnto
you,
I
will
make
knowen
my
wordes
vnto
you.
24
Because
I
haue
called,
and
yee
refused,
I
haue
stretched
out
my
hand,
and
no
man
regarded:
25
But
ye
haue
set
at
nought
all
my
counsell,
&
would
none
of
my
reproofe:
26
I
also
will
laugh
at
your
calamitie,
I
wil
mocke
when
your
feare
commeth.
27
When
your
feare
commeth
as
desolation,
and
your
destruction
commeth
as
a
whirlewinde;
when
distresse
and
anguish
commeth
vpon
you:
28
Then
shall
they
call
vpon
mee,
but
I
will
not
answere;
they
shall
seeke
me
early,
but
they
shall
not
finde
me:
29
For
that
they
hated
knowledge,
and
did
not
choose
the
feare
of
the
Lord.
30
They
would
none
of
my
counsel:
they
despised
all
my
reproofe.
31
Therefore
shall
they
eate
of
the
fruite
of
their
owne
way,
and
be
filled
with
their
owne
deuices.
32
For
the
turning
away
of
the
simple
shall
slay
them,
and
the
prosperity
of
fooles
shall
destroy
them.
33
But
who
so
hearkneth
vnto
mee,
shall
dwell
safely,
and
shall
be
quiet
from
feare
of
euill.
