Proverbs 1:7-19

7The fearH3374 of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledgeH1847: foolsH191 despiseH936 wisdomH2451 and instruction.

8HearH8085, my sonH1121, the instruction of thy fatherH1, and forsake not the teaching of thy motherH517;

9for they shall be a garland of graceH2580 unto thy headH7218, and chains about thy neckH1621.

10My sonH1121, if sinnersH2400 entice thee, consent not.

11If they sayH559, Come with us, let us layH693 waitH693 for bloodH1818, let us lurk secretly 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:

14castH5307 in thy lotH1486 among us; we will all have oneH259 purse:

15— my sonH1121, walk not in the wayH1870 with them, keep back thy footH7272 from their path;

16for their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they makeH4116 hasteH4116 to shedH8210 bloodH1818.

17For in vainH2600 the netH7568 is spreadH2219 in the sight of anything which hath wingsH3671.

18And these layH693 waitH693 for their own bloodH1818; they lurk secretly for their own livesH5315.

19SoH3651 are the pathsH734 of every one that is greedy of gainH1215: it taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of its possessorsH1167.
