{Proverbs 1:1} The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:2} To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:3} To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:4} To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:5} A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:6} To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:7} The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:8} My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:9} For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:10} My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:11} If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:12} Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:13} We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:14} Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:15} My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:16} For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:17} Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:18} And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:19} So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:20} Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:21} She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, [saying, ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:22} How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:23} Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:24} Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:25} But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:26} I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:27} When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:28} Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:29} For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:30} They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:31} Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:32} For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 1:33} But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
