1THE proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7¶ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20¶ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24¶ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
1¶ The Prouerbes of Solomon the sonne of Dauid, King of Israel,
2To knowe wisedome and instruction, to perceiue the words of vnderstanding,
3To receiue the instruction of wisdome, iustice, and iudgement & †equitie,
4To giue subtiltie to the simple, to the yong man knowledge and ‖discretion.
5A wise man wil heare, and wil increase learning: and a man of vnderstanding shall attaine vnto wise counsels:
6To vnderstand a prouerbe, and ‖the interpretation; the wordes of the wise, and their darke sayings.
7¶ *The feare of the LORD is ‖the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction.
8My sonne, heare the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
9For they shall be †an ornament of grace vnto thy head, and chaines about thy necke.
10¶ My sonne, if sinners entise thee, consent thou not.
11If they say, Come with vs, let vs lay wait for blood, let vs lurke priuily for the innocent without cause:
12Let vs swallow them vp aliue, as the graue, and whole, as those that goe downe into the pit:
13Wee shall finde all precious substance, wee shall fill our houses with spoile:
14Cast in thy lot among vs, let vs all haue one purse:
15My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them; refraine thy foot from their path:
16*For their feete runne to euil, and make haste to shed blood.
17Surely in vaine the net is spread †in the sight of any bird.
18And they lay wait for their owne blood, they lurke priuily for their owne liues.
19So are the waies of euery one that is greedie of gaine: which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20¶ †Wisedome crieth without, she *vttereth her voice in the streets:
21Shee crieth in the chiefe place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she vttereth her words, saying,
22How long, ye simple ones, will ye loue simplicitie? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fooles hate knowledge?
23Turne you at my reproofe: behold, I will powre out my spirit vnto you, I will make knowen my wordes vnto you.
24¶ *Because I haue called, and yee refused, I haue stretched out my hand, and no man regarded:
25But ye haue set at nought all my counsell, & would none of my reproofe:
26I also will laugh at your calamitie, I wil mocke when your feare commeth.
27*When your feare commeth as desolation, and your destruction commeth as a whirlewinde; when distresse and anguish commeth vpon you:
28*Then shall they call vpon mee, but I will not answere; they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me:
29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the feare of the LORD.
30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproofe.
31Therefore shall they eate of the fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuices.
32For the ‖turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fooles shall destroy them.
33But who so hearkneth vnto mee, shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from feare of euill.

- Proverbs 27:1–28Rank 17 from verse 6
1BOAST not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.
4Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
10Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
