Proverbs 1

Pro 1:17  Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird[dhh1] .

Pro 1:18  And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

Pro 1:19  So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Pro 1:20  Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

Pro 1:21  She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

Pro 1:22  How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge[dhh2] ?

Pro 1:23  Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Pro 1:24  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Pro 1:25  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Pro 1:26  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

Pro 1:27  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Pro 1:28  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:[dhh3] 

Pro 1:29  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Pro 1:30  They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Pro 1:31  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit [dhh4] of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Pro 1:32  For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Pro 1:33  But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
