My son1121
, hear8085 8798
the instruction4148
of thy father1
, and forsake5203 8799
not the law8451
of thy mother517
:
|
|
|
|

|
For they
shall be
an ornament3880
of grace2580
unto thy head7218
, and chains6060
about thy neck1621
.
[an...: Heb. an adding]
|
|
|
|
10
|
My son1121
, if sinners2400
entice6601 8762
thee, consent14 8799
thou not.
|
|
|
|
11
|
If they say559 8799
, Come3212 8798
with us, let us lay wait693 8799
for blood1818
, let us lurk6845 8799
privily for the innocent5355
without cause2600
:
|
|
|
|
12
|
Let us swallow them up1104 8799
alive2416
as the grave7585
; and whole8549
, as those that go down3381 8802
into the pit953
:
|

13
|
We shall find4672 8799
all precious3368
substance1952
, we shall fill4390 8762
our houses1004
with spoil7998
:
|

|
|
14
|
Cast5307 8686
in thy lot1486
among8432
us; let us all have one259
purse3599
:
|
|

15

My son1121
, walk3212 8799
not thou in the way1870
with them; refrain4513 8798
thy foot7272
from their path5410
:
|
|
|
|
16
|
For their feet7272
run7323 8799
to evil7451
, and make haste4116 8762
to shed8210 8800
blood1818
.

Surely in vain2600

own
blood1818
; they lurk privily6845 8799
for their
own
lives5315

Wisdom2454
crieth7442 8799
without2351
; she uttereth5414 8799
her voice6963
in the streets7339
:
[Wisdom: Heb. Wisdoms, that is, Excellent wisdom]
|
|
|
|
21
|
She crieth7121 8799
in the chief place7218
of concourse1993 8802
, in the openings6607
of the gates8179
: in the city5892
she uttereth559 8799
her words561
,
saying
,
|
|
|
|
22
|
How long, ye simple ones6612
, will ye love157 8799
simplicity6612
? and the scorners3887 8801
delight2530 8804
in their scorning3944
, and fools3684
hate8130 8799
knowledge1847
?
|
|
|
|
23
|
Turn7725 8799
you at my reproof8433
: behold, I will pour out5042 8686
my spirit7307
unto you, I will make known3045 8686
my words1697
unto you.
|
|
|
|
24
|
Because I have called7121 8804
, and ye refused3985 8762
; I have stretched out5186 8804
my hand3027
, and no man regarded7181 8688
;
|
|
|
|
25
|
But ye have set at nought6544 8799
all my counsel6098
, and would14 8804
none of my reproof8433
:
|
|
|
|
26
|
I also will laugh7832 8799
at your calamity343
; I will mock3932 8799
when your fear6343
cometh935 8800
;
|
|
|
|
27
|
When your fear6343
cometh935 8800
as desolation7722 8675 7584
, and your destruction343
cometh857 8799
as a whirlwind5492
; when distress6869
and anguish6695
cometh935 8800
upon you.
|
|
|
|
28
|
Then shall they call7121 8799
upon me, but I will not answer6030 8799
; they shall seek me early7836 8762
, but they shall not find4672 8799
me:
|
|
|
|
29
|
For that they hated8130 8804
knowledge1847
, and did not choose977 8804
the fear3374
of the LORD3068
:
|
|
|
|
30
|
They would14 8804
none of my counsel6098
: they despised5006 8804
all my reproof8433
.
|
|
|
|
31
|
Therefore shall they eat398 8799
of the fruit6529
of their own way1870
, and be filled7646 8799
with their own devices4156
.
|
|
|
|
32
|
For the turning away4878
of the simple6612
shall slay2026 8799
them, and the prosperity7962
of fools3684
shall destroy6 8762
them.
[turning...: or, ease of the simple]
|
|
|
|
33
|
But whoso hearkeneth8085 8802
unto me shall dwell7931 8799
safely983
, and shall be quiet7599 8768
from fear6343
of evil7451
.
