Proverbs 1:7-19
7The fearH3374 of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledgeH1847;Butthe foolish despiseH936 wisdomH2451 and instruction.8My sonH1121, hearH8085 the instruction of thy fatherH1,And forsake not the lawH8451 of thy motherH517:9For they shall be a chaplet of graceH2580 unto thy headH7218,And chains about thy neckH1621.10My sonH1121, if sinnersH2400 entice thee,Consent thou not.11If they sayH559, Come with us,Let us layH693 waitH693 for bloodH1818;Let us lurk privily for the innocentH5355 without causeH2600;12Let us swallowH1104 them up aliveH2416 as SheolH7585,And whole, as those that goH3381 down into the pitH953;13We shall findH4672 all preciousH3368 substance;We shall fillH4390 our housesH1004 with spoilH7998;14Thou shalt castH5307 thy lotH1486 among us;We will all have oneH259 purse:15My sonH1121, walk not thou in the wayH1870 with them;Refrain thy footH7272 from their path:16For their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451,And they makeH4116 hasteH4116 to shedH8210 bloodH1818.17For in vainH2600 is the netH7568 spreadH2219 In the sight of any bird:18And these layH693 waitH693 for their own bloodH1818;They lurk privily for their own livesH5315.19SoH3651 are the waysH734 of every one that is greedy of gainH1215;It taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
