The proverbsH4912 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478;
To knowH3045 wisdomH2451 and instructionH4148; to perceiveH995 the wordsH561 of understandingH998;
To receiveH3947 the instructionH4148 of wisdomH7919, justiceH6664, and judgmentH4941, and equityH4339; {equity: Heb. equities}
To giveH5414 subtiltyH6195 to the simpleH6612, to the young manH5288 knowledgeH1847 and discretionH4209. {discretion: or, advisement}
A wiseH2450 man will hearH8085, and will increaseH3254 learningH3948; and a man of understandingH995 shall attainH7069 unto wise counselsH8458:
To understandH995 a proverbH4912, and the interpretationH4426; the wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450, and their dark sayingsH2420. {the interpretation: or, an eloquent speech}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of knowledgeH1847: but foolsH191 despiseH936 wisdomH2451 and instructionH4148. {the beginning: or, the principal part}
My sonH1121, hearH8085 the instructionH4148 of thy fatherH1, and forsakeH5203 not the lawH8451 of thy motherH517:
For they shall be an ornamentH3880 of graceH2580 unto thy headH7218, and chainsH6060 about thy neckH1621. {an…: Heb. an adding}
My sonH1121, if sinnersH2400 enticeH6601 thee, consentH14 thou not.
If they sayH559, ComeH3212 with us, let us lay waitH693 for bloodH1818, let us lurkH6845 privily for the innocentH5355 without causeH2600:
Let us swallow them upH1104 aliveH2416 as the graveH7585; and wholeH8549, as those that go downH3381 into the pitH953:
We shall findH4672 all preciousH3368 substanceH1952, we shall fillH4390 our housesH1004 with spoilH7998:
CastH5307 in thy lotH1486 amongH8432 us; let us all have oneH259 purseH3599:
My sonH1121, walkH3212 not thou in the wayH1870 with them; refrainH4513 thy footH7272 from their pathH5410:
For their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 bloodH1818.
Surely in vainH2600 the netH7568 is spreadH2219 in the sightH5869 of any birdH1167+H3671. {in the…: Heb. in the eyes of every thing that hath a wing}
And they lay waitH693 for their own bloodH1818; they lurk privilyH6845 for their own livesH5315.
So are the waysH734 of every one that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215; which taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
WisdomH2454 criethH7442 withoutH2351; she utterethH5414 her voiceH6963 in the streetsH7339: {Wisdom: Heb. Wisdoms, that is, Excellent wisdom}
She criethH7121 in the chief placeH7218 of concourseH1993, in the openingsH6607 of the gatesH8179: in the cityH5892 she utterethH559 her wordsH561, saying,
How long, ye simple onesH6612, will ye loveH157 simplicityH6612? and the scornersH3887 delightH2530 in their scorningH3944, and foolsH3684 hateH8130 knowledgeH1847?
TurnH7725 you at my reproofH8433: behold, I will pour outH5042 my spiritH7307 unto you, I will make knownH3045 my wordsH1697 unto you.
Because I have calledH7121, and ye refusedH3985; I have stretched outH5186 my handH3027, and no man regardedH7181;
But ye have set at noughtH6544 all my counselH6098, and wouldH14 none of my reproofH8433:
I also will laughH7832 at your calamityH343; I will mockH3932 when your fearH6343 comethH935;
When your fearH6343 comethH935 as desolationH7722+H7584, and your destructionH343 comethH857 as a whirlwindH5492; when distressH6869 and anguishH6695 comethH935 upon you.
Then shall they callH7121 upon me, but I will not answerH6030; they shall seek me earlyH7836, but they shall not findH4672 me:
For that they hatedH8130 knowledgeH1847, and did not chooseH977 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068:
They wouldH14 none of my counselH6098: they despisedH5006 all my reproofH8433.
Therefore shall they eatH398 of the fruitH6529 of their own wayH1870, and be filledH7646 with their own devicesH4156.
For the turning awayH4878 of the simpleH6612 shall slayH2026 them, and the prosperityH7962 of foolsH3684 shall destroyH6 them. {turning…: or, ease of the simple}
But whoso hearkenethH8085 unto me shall dwellH7931 safelyH983, and shall be quietH7599 from fearH6343 of evilH7451.

He that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215 troublethH5916 his own houseH1004; but he that hatethH8130 giftsH4979 shall liveH2421.
If I have eatenH398 the fruitsH3581 thereof without moneyH3701, or have caused the ownersH1167 thereof to loseH5301 their lifeH5315: {fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners…: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
There isH3426 a soreH2470 evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, namely, richesH6239 keptH8104 for the ownersH1167 thereof to their hurtH7451.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the manH376 that toldH5046 him, And, behold, thou sawestH7200 him, and why didst thou not smiteH5221 him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414 thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701, and aH259 girdleH2290.
And the manH376 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, ThoughH3863 I should receiveH8254 a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 in mine handH3709, yet would I not put forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the king'sH4428 sonH1121: for in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 chargedH6680 thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that none touch the young manH5288 AbsalomH53. {receive: Heb. weigh upon mine hand} {Beware…: Heb. Beware whosoever ye be of, etc}
OtherwiseH176 I should have wroughtH6213 falsehoodH8267 against mine own lifeH5315: for there is no matterH1697 hidH3582 from the kingH4428, and thou thyself wouldest have setH3320 thyself against me.
But GehaziH1522, the servantH5288 of ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430, saidH559, Behold, my masterH113 hath sparedH2820 NaamanH5283 this SyrianH761, in not receivingH3947 at his handsH3027 that which he broughtH935: but, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, I will runH7323 afterH310 him, and takeH3947 somewhatH3972 of him.
So GehaziH1522 followedH7291 afterH310 NaamanH5283. And when NaamanH5283 sawH7200 him runningH7323 afterH310 him, he lighted downH5307 from the chariotH4818 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Is all wellH7965? {Is…: Heb. Is there peace?}
And he saidH559, All is wellH7965. My masterH113 hath sentH7971 me, sayingH559, Behold, even now there be comeH935 to me from mountH2022 EphraimH669 twoH8147 young menH5288 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030: giveH5414 them, I pray thee, a talentH3603 of silverH3701, and twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899.
And NaamanH5283 saidH559, Be contentH2974, takeH3947 two talentsH3603. And he urgedH6555 him, and boundH6696 twoH8147 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 in twoH8147 bagsH2754, with twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899, and laidH5414 them upon twoH8147 of his servantsH5288; and they bareH5375 them beforeH6440 him.
And when he cameH935 to the towerH6076, he tookH3947 them from their handH3027, and bestowedH6485 them in the houseH1004: and he let the menH582 goH7971, and they departedH3212. {tower: or, secret place}
But he went inH935, and stoodH5975 before his masterH113. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, WhenceH370 comest thou, GehaziH1522? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 wentH1980 no whitherH575. {no whither: Heb. not hither or thither}
And he saidH559 unto him, WentH1980 not mine heartH3820 with thee, when the manH376 turnedH2015 again from his chariotH4818 to meetH7125 thee? Is it a timeH6256 to receiveH3947 moneyH3701, and to receiveH3947 garmentsH899, and oliveyardsH2132, and vineyardsH3754, and sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198?
The leprosyH6883 therefore of NaamanH5283 shall cleaveH1692 unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233 for everH5769. And he went outH3318 from his presenceH6440 a leperH6879 as white as snowH7950.
But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 it. {violence: or, incursion}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; They shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935!
He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an assH2543, drawnH5498 and cast forthH7993 beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205, and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027.
And they covetH2530 fieldsH7704, and take them by violenceH1497; and housesH1004, and take them awayH5375: so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. {oppress: or, defraud}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, against this familyH4940 do I deviseH2803 an evilH7451, from which ye shall not removeH4185 your necksH6677; neither shall ye goH3212 haughtilyH7317: for this timeH6256 is evilH7451.
They build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. {blood: Heb. bloods}
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
WoeH1945 to him that covetethH1214 an evilH7451 covetousnessH1215 to his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the powerH3709 of evilH7451! {coveteth…: or, gaineth and evil gain} {power…: Heb. palm of the hand}

NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}

ForG1063 the love of moneyG5365 isG2076 the rootG4491 of allG3956 evilG2556: whichG3739 while someG5100 coveted afterG3713, they have erredG635 fromG575 the faithG4102, andG2532 piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 throughG4044 with manyG4183 sorrowsG3601. {erred: or, been seduced}
Go toG33 nowG3568, ye rich menG4145, weepG2799 and howlG3649 forG1909 yourG5216 miseriesG5004 that shall come uponG1904 you.
YourG5216 richesG4149 are corruptedG4595, andG2532 yourG5216 garmentsG2440 areG1096 motheatenG4598.
YourG5216 goldG5557 andG2532 silverG696 is cankeredG2728; andG2532 the rustG2447 of themG846 shall beG2071 a witnessG3142 againstG1519 youG5213, andG2532 shall eatG5315 yourG5216 fleshG4561 as it wereG5613 fireG4442. Ye have heaped treasure togetherG2343 forG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250.
BeholdG2400, the hireG3408 of the labourersG2040 whoG3588 have reaped downG270 yourG5216 fieldsG5561, whichG3588 is ofG575 youG5216 kept back by fraudG650, criethG2896: andG2532 the criesG995 of them which have reapedG2325 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 the earsG3775 of the LordG2962 of sabaothG4519.
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
