<02451>
and instruction

<05288>
knowledge
<01847>
and discretion
<04209>_.
{discretion: or, advisement}
A wise
<02450>
[man] will hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and will increase
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>_;
and a man of understanding
<0995> (8737)
shall attain
<07069> (8799)
unto wise counsels
<08458>_:
To understand
<0995> (8687)
a proverb
<04912>_,
and the interpretation
<04426>_;
the words
<01697>
of the wise
<02450>_,
and their dark sayings
<02420>_.
{the interpretation: or, an eloquent speech}
The fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] the beginning
<07225>
of knowledge
<01847>_:
[but] fools
<0191>
despise
<0936> (8804)
wisdom
<02451>
and instruction
<04148>_.
{the beginning: or, the principal part}
My son
<01121>_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the instruction
<04148>
of thy father
<01>_,
and forsake
<05203> (8799)
not the law
<08451>
of thy mother
<0517>_:
For they [shall be] an ornament
<03880>
of grace
<02580>
unto thy head
<07218>_,
and chains
<06060>
about thy neck
<01621>_.
{an...: Heb. an adding}
My son
<01121>_,
if sinners
<02400>
entice
<06601> (8762)
thee, consent
<014> (8799)
thou not.
If they say
<0559> (8799)_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
with us, let us lay wait
<0693> (8799)
for blood
<01818>_,
let us lurk
<06845> (8799)
privily for the innocent
<05355>
without cause
<02600>_:
Let us swallow them up
<01104> (8799)
alive
<02416>
as the grave
<07585>_;
and whole
<08549>_,
as those that go down
<03381> (8802)
into the pit
<0953>_:
We shall find
<04672> (8799)
all precious
<03368>
substance
<01952>_,
we shall fill
<04390> (8762)
our houses
<01004>
with spoil
<07998>_:
Cast
<05307> (8686)
in thy lot
<01486>
among
<08432>
us; let us all have one
<0259>
purse
<03599>_:
My son
<01121>_,
walk
<03212> (8799)
not thou in the way
<01870>
with them; refrain
<04513> (8798)
thy foot
<07272>
from their path
<05410>_:
For their feet
<07272>
run
<07323> (8799)
to evil
<07451>_,
and make haste
<04116> (8762)
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_.
Surely in vain
<02600>
the net
<07568>
is spread
<02219> (8794)
in the sight
<05869>
of any bird
<01167> <03671>_.
{in the...: Heb. in the eyes of every thing that hath a wing}
And they lay wait
<0693> (8799)
for their [own] blood
<01818>_;
they lurk privily
<06845> (8799)
for their [own] lives
<05315>_.
So [are] the ways
<0734>
of every one that is greedy
<01214> (8802)
of gain
<01215>_;
[which] taketh away
<03947> (8799)
the life
<05315>
of the owners
<01167>
thereof.
