October 1, 2013 Proverbs (Pro 1:1) The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; (Pro 1:2) To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; (Pro 1:3) To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; (Pro 1:4) To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. (Pro 1:5) A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: (Pro 1:6) To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. (Pro 1:7) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Pro 1:8) My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: (Pro 1:9) For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. (Pro 1:10) My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. (Pro 1:11) If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: (Pro 1:12) Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: (Pro 1:13) We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: (Pro 1:14) Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: (Pro 1:15) My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: (Pro 1:16) For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. (Pro 1:17) Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. (Pro 1:18) And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. (Pro 1:19) So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. (Pro 1:20) Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: (Pro 1:21) She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, (Pro 1:22) How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? (Pro 1:23) Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (Pro 1:24) Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; (Pro 1:25) But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: (Pro 1:26) I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; (Pro 1:27) When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. (Pro 1:28) Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: (Pro 1:29) For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: (Pro 1:30) They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. (Pro 1:31) Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. (Pro 1:32) For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. (Pro 1:33) But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
