Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 1
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: 1Ki 4:32To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; To receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness and judgment and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion: That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; and that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels: Sir 10:28To understand a proverb, and a figure; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. Job 28:28; Psa 111:10; Ecc 12:13; Sir 1:15My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. Pro 4:9; Sir 6:32My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. Pro 4:14If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause; Jer 5:26; Mic 7:2Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; Psa 124:3We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil; Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; we will all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: Psa 1:1For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. Isa 59:7; Rom 3:15For in vain is the net spread, in the eyes of any bird: And these lay wait for their own blood, they lurk privily for their own lives. Mat 26:16So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; it taketh away the life of the owners thereof. Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; she uttereth her voice in the broad places; Pro 8:1; Luk 11:49She crieth in the chief place of concourse; at the entering in of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words: Pro 8:3How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and scorners delight them in scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; Isa 65:12; Isa 66:4; Jer 7:13But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; Deu 28:63; Ezk 21:17When your fear cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: Isa 1:15; Jer 11:11For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: Pro 1:24; Act 13:40They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof: Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. Isa 3:10For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.Psa 112:7
