CHAP. I.
1 The vse of the Prouerbes. 7 An exhortation
to feare God and beleeue his word. 10
To auoyd the intisings of sinners. 20 Wisdome
complaineth of her contempt. 24
She threatneth her contemners.
1
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 ∧ note equitie,
4
To giue subtiltie to the simple, to
the yong man knowledge and note 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
note the interpretation; the wordes of the
wise, and their darke sayings.
7
¶ note The feare of the Lord is
note 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 note 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
noteFor their feete runne to euil, and
make haste to shed blood.
17
Surely in vaine the net is spread
note 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
¶ note Wisedome crieth without, she
note 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
-- --
Reward of fooles.
you, I will make knowen my wordes
vnto you.
24
¶ note 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
noteWhen your feare commeth as
desolation, and your destruction commeth
as a whirlewinde; when distresse
and anguish commeth vpon you:
28
noteThen 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 note 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.
