3 To|strong="H4941" receive|strong="H3947" instruction|strong="H4148" in|strong="H7919" wise|strong="H7919" dealing, in|strong="H7919" righteousness|strong="H6664" and|strong="H4941" judgment|strong="H4941" and|strong="H4941" equity|strong="H4339";
4 To|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" subtilty|strong="H6195" to|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" simple|strong="H6612", to|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" young|strong="H5288" man|strong="H5288" knowledge|strong="H1847" and|strong="H5288" discretion|strong="H4209":
5 That|strong="H8085" the|strong="H8085" wise|strong="H2450" man|strong="H2450" may|strong="H3254" hear|strong="H8085", and|strong="H8085" increase|strong="H3254" in|strong="H8085" learning|strong="H3948"; and|strong="H8085" that|strong="H8085" the|strong="H8085" man|strong="H2450" of|strong="H8085" understanding|strong="H8085" may|strong="H3254" attain|strong="H7069" unto|strong="H8085" sound|strong="H8085" counsels|strong="H8458":

7 The|strong="H3068" fear|strong="H3374" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" beginning|strong="H7225" of|strong="H3068" knowledge|strong="H1847": but the|strong="H3068" foolish despise wisdom|strong="H2451" and|strong="H3068" instruction|strong="H4148".

10 My son|strong="H1121", if|strong="H1121" sinners|strong="H2400" entice|strong="H6601" thee, consent thou not|strong="H1121".
11 If they|strong="H2600" say, Come|strong="H3212" with|strong="H3212" us, let|strong="H3212" us lay wait for|strong="H3212" blood|strong="H1818", let|strong="H3212" us lurk|strong="H6845" privily|strong="H6845" for|strong="H3212" the|strong="H3212" innocent|strong="H5355" without|strong="H2600" cause|strong="H2600";

13 We|strong="H3605" shall|strong="H1004" find|strong="H4672" all|strong="H3605" precious|strong="H3368" substance|strong="H1952", we|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H1004" fill|strong="H4390" our|strong="H3605" houses|strong="H1004" with|strong="H4390" spoil|strong="H7998";
14 Thou|strong="H1961" shalt cast|strong="H5307" thy|strong="H8432" lot|strong="H1486" among|strong="H8432" us|strong="H1961"; we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H1961" all|strong="H3605" have|strong="H1961" one|strong="H3605" purse|strong="H3599":
15 My|strong="H1870" son|strong="H1121", walk|strong="H3212" not|strong="H1870" thou|strong="H3212" in|strong="H3212" the|strong="H1870" way|strong="H1870" with|strong="H3212" them|strong="H1121"; refrain|strong="H4513" thy|strong="H4513" foot|strong="H7272" from|strong="H1121" their|strong="H1870" path|strong="H5410":
16 For|strong="H3588" their|strong="H3588" feet|strong="H7272" run|strong="H7323" to|strong="H7323" evil|strong="H7451", and|strong="H1818" they|strong="H3588" make|strong="H4116" haste|strong="H4116" to|strong="H7323" shed|strong="H8210" blood|strong="H1818".

18 And|strong="H1818" these|strong="H1992" lay|strong="H5315" wait for|strong="H5315" their|strong="H1992" own|strong="H5315" blood|strong="H1818", they|strong="H1992" lurk|strong="H6845" privily|strong="H6845" for|strong="H5315" their|strong="H1992" own|strong="H5315" lives|strong="H5315".
19 So|strong="H3651" are|strong="H5315" the|strong="H3605" ways of|strong="H1167" every|strong="H3605" one|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" is|strong="H5315" greedy|strong="H1214" of|strong="H1167" gain|strong="H1215"; it|strong="H3651" taketh|strong="H3947" away|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3605" life|strong="H5315" of|strong="H1167" the|strong="H3605" owners|strong="H1167" thereof|strong="H1167".
20 Wisdom|strong="H2454" crieth|strong="H7442" aloud|strong="H7442" in|strong="H6963" the|strong="H5414" street|strong="H2351"; she uttereth|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414" voice|strong="H6963" in|strong="H6963" the|strong="H5414" broad places|strong="H7339";
21 She|strong="H7121" crieth|strong="H7121" in|strong="H5892" the|strong="H7121" chief|strong="H7218" place|strong="H6607" of|strong="H5892" concourse|strong="H1993"; at|strong="H7218" the|strong="H7121" entering|strong="H6607" in|strong="H5892" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H7121" gates|strong="H8179", in|strong="H5892" the|strong="H7121" city|strong="H5892", she|strong="H7121" uttereth her|strong="H7121" words:
22 How|strong="H4970" long|strong="H5704", ye|strong="H1992" simple|strong="H6612" ones|strong="H6612", will|strong="H5704" ye|strong="H1992" love simplicity|strong="H6612"? and|strong="H1847" scorners|strong="H3887" delight|strong="H2530" them|strong="H1992" in|strong="H1992" scorning|strong="H3944", and|strong="H1847" fools|strong="H3684" hate|strong="H8130" knowledge|strong="H1847"?
23 Turn|strong="H7725" you|strong="H7725" at|strong="H7725" my|strong="H3045" reproof|strong="H8433": behold|strong="H2009", I|strong="H2009" will|strong="H7307" pour|strong="H5042" out|strong="H5042" my|strong="H3045" spirit|strong="H7307" unto|strong="H7725" you|strong="H7725", I|strong="H2009" will|strong="H7307" make|strong="H3045" known|strong="H3045" my|strong="H3045" words|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H7725" you|strong="H7725".
24 Because|strong="H3282" I|strong="H3282" have|strong="H3027" called|strong="H7121", and|strong="H3027" ye refused|strong="H3985"; I|strong="H3282" have|strong="H3027" stretched|strong="H5186" out|strong="H5186" my|strong="H5186" hand|strong="H3027", and|strong="H3027" no man regarded|strong="H7181";
25 But|strong="H3808" ye|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3605" set at|strong="H3808" nought|strong="H3808" all|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" counsel|strong="H6098", and|strong="H6098" would|strong="H3605" none|strong="H3808" of|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" reproof|strong="H8433":
26 I|strong="H1571" also|strong="H1571" will|strong="H1571" laugh|strong="H7832" in|strong="H1571" the day of your|strong="H1571" calamity; I|strong="H1571" will|strong="H1571" mock|strong="H3932" when|strong="H1571" your|strong="H1571" fear|strong="H6343" cometh;
27 When|strong="H5921" your|strong="H5921" fear|strong="H6343" cometh as|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" storm|strong="H5492", and|strong="H6869" your|strong="H5921" calamity cometh on|strong="H5921" as|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" whirlwind|strong="H5492"; when|strong="H5921" distress|strong="H6869" and|strong="H6869" anguish|strong="H6869" come upon|strong="H5921" you|strong="H5921".
28 Then|strong="H6030" shall|strong="H3808" they|strong="H3808" call|strong="H7121" upon|strong="H7121" me|strong="H7121", but|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" answer|strong="H6030"; they|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3808" seek|strong="H7836" me|strong="H7121" diligently|strong="H7836", but|strong="H3808" they|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" find|strong="H4672" me|strong="H7121":
29 For|strong="H3588" that|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" hated|strong="H8130" knowledge|strong="H1847", and|strong="H3068" did|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" choose the|strong="H3588" fear|strong="H3374" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068":
30 They|strong="H3808" would|strong="H3605" none|strong="H3808" of|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" counsel|strong="H6098"; they|strong="H3808" despised|strong="H5006" all|strong="H3605" my|strong="H3605" reproof|strong="H8433":
31 Therefore|strong="H4156" shall|strong="H1870" they|strong="H4156" eat of|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" fruit|strong="H6529" of|strong="H1870" their|strong="H1870" own way|strong="H1870", and|strong="H1870" be|strong="H1870" filled|strong="H7646" with|strong="H7646" their|strong="H1870" own devices|strong="H4156".
32 For|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" backsliding|strong="H4878" of|strong="H7962" the|strong="H3588" simple|strong="H6612" shall|strong="H7962" slay|strong="H2026" them|strong="H2026", and|strong="H2026" the|strong="H3588" prosperity|strong="H7962" of|strong="H7962" fools|strong="H3684" shall|strong="H7962" destroy|strong="H2026" them|strong="H2026".
33 But|strong="H8085" whoso hearkeneth|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H8085" me|strong="H8085" shall|strong="H7451" dwell|strong="H7931" securely, and|strong="H8085" shall|strong="H7451" be|strong="H7451" quiet|strong="H7599" without fear|strong="H6343" of|strong="H6343" evil|strong="H7451".
