The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
Prologue

For learning about wisdom and instruction, for understanding words of insight,

for gaining instruction in wise dealing, righteousness, justice, and equity;

to teach shrewdness to the simple, knowledge and prudence to the young—

Let the wise also hear and gain in learning, and the discerning acquire skill,

to understand a proverb and a figure, the words of the wise and their riddles.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Warnings against Evil Companions

Hear, my child, your father's instruction, and do not reject your mother's teaching;

for they are a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck.

My child, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us wantonly ambush the innocent;

like Sheol let us swallow them alive and whole, like those who go down to the Pit.

We shall find all kinds of costly things; we shall fill our houses with booty.

Throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”—

my child, do not walk in their way, keep your foot from their paths;

for their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed blood.

For in vain is the net baited while the bird is looking on;

yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves! and set an ambush—for their own lives!

Such is the end of all who are greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.
The Call of Wisdom

Wisdom cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her voice.

At the busiest corner she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:

“How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?

Give heed to my reproof; I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you.

Because I have called and you refused, have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,

and because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you,

when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.

Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but will not find me.

Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord ,

would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof,

therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices.

For waywardness kills the simple, and the complacency of fools destroys them;

but those who listen to me will be secure and will live at ease, without dread of disaster.”

Admonition to Trust and Honor God

My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.

Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord , and turn away from evil.

It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body.

Honor the Lord with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;

then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

My child, do not despise the Lord 's discipline or be weary of his reproof,

for the Lord reproves the one he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
The True Wealth

Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding,

for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold.

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.
God's Wisdom in Creation

The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;

by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.
The True Security

My child, do not let these escape from your sight: keep sound wisdom and prudence,

and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.

Then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not stumble.

If you sit down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Do not be afraid of sudden panic, or of the storm that strikes the wicked;

for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.

Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.

Do not plan harm against your neighbor who lives trustingly beside you.

Do not quarrel with anyone without cause, when no harm has been done to you.

Do not envy the violent and do not choose any of their ways;

for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord , but the upright are in his confidence.

The Lord 's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the abode of the righteous.

Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he shows favor.

The wise will inherit honor, but stubborn fools, disgrace.

A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.

The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord is the maker of them all.

The clever see danger and hide; but the simple go on, and suffer for it.

The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; the cautious will keep far from them.

Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.

Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of anger will fail.

Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.

Drive out a scoffer, and strife goes out; quarreling and abuse will cease.

Those who love a pure heart and are gracious in speech will have the king as a friend.

The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the faithless.

The lazy person says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!”

The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit; he with whom the Lord is angry falls into it.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a boy, but the rod of discipline drives it far away.

Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich, will lead only to loss.
Sayings of the Wise

The words of the wise: Incline your ear and hear my words, and apply your mind to my teaching;

for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.

So that your trust may be in the Lord , I have made them known to you today—yes, to you.

Have I not written for you thirty sayings of admonition and knowledge,

to show you what is right and true, so that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?

Do not rob the poor because they are poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate;

for the Lord pleads their cause and despoils of life those who despoil them.

Make no friends with those given to anger, and do not associate with hotheads,

or you may learn their ways and entangle yourself in a snare.

Do not be one of those who give pledges, who become surety for debts.

If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?

Do not remove the ancient landmark that your ancestors set up.

Do you see those who are skillful in their work? they will serve kings; they will not serve common people.
