Proverbs 1

New International Version NIV

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

2 for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;

3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair;

4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,knowledge and discretion to the young—

5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—

6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

9 They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.

10 My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them.

11 If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul;

12 let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

13 we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;

14 cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”—

15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;

16 for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.

17 How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!

18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!

19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;

21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.

24 But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,

25 since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,

26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—

27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,

29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.

30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,

31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 parabolae Salomonis filii David regis Israhel

2 ad sciendam sapientiam et disciplinam

3 ad intellegenda verba prudentiae et suscipiendam eruditionem doctrinae iustitiam et iudicium et aequitatem

4 ut detur parvulis astutia adulescenti scientia et intellectus

5 audiens sapiens sapientior erit et intellegens gubernacula possidebit

6 animadvertet parabolam et interpretationem verba sapientium et enigmata eorum

7 timor Domini principium scientiae sapientiam atque doctrinam stulti despiciunt

8 audi fili mi disciplinam patris tui et ne dimittas legem matris tuae

9 ut addatur gratia capiti tuo et torques collo tuo

10 fili mi si te lactaverint peccatores ne adquiescas

11 si dixerint veni nobiscum insidiemur sanguini abscondamus tendiculas contra insontem frustra

12 degluttiamus eum sicut infernus viventem et integrum quasi descendentem in lacum

13 omnem pretiosam substantiam repperiemus implebimus domos nostras spoliis

14 sortem mitte nobiscum marsuppium unum sit omnium nostrum

15 fili mi ne ambules cum eis prohibe pedem tuum a semitis eorum

16 pedes enim illorum ad malum currunt et festinant ut effundant sanguinem

17 frustra autem iacitur rete ante oculos pinnatorum

18 ipsique contra sanguinem suum insidiantur et moliuntur fraudes contra animas suas

19 sic semitae omnis avari animas possidentium rapiunt

20 sapientia foris praedicat in plateis dat vocem suam

21 in capite turbarum clamitat in foribus portarum urbis profert verba sua dicens

22 usquequo parvuli diligitis infantiam et stulti ea quae sibi sunt noxia cupiunt et inprudentes odibunt scientiam

23 convertimini ad correptionem meam en proferam vobis spiritum meum et ostendam verba mea

24 quia vocavi et rennuistis extendi manum meam et non fuit qui aspiceret

25 despexistis omne consilium meum et increpationes meas neglexistis

26 ego quoque in interitu vestro ridebo et subsannabo cum vobis quod timebatis advenerit

27 cum inruerit repentina calamitas et interitus quasi tempestas ingruerit quando venerit super vos tribulatio et angustia

28 tunc invocabunt me et non exaudiam mane consurgent et non invenient me

29 eo quod exosam habuerint disciplinam et timorem Domini non susceperint

30 nec adquieverint consilio meo et detraxerint universae correptioni meae

31 comedent igitur fructus viae suae suisque consiliis saturabuntur

32 aversio parvulorum interficiet eos et prosperitas stultorum perdet illos

33 qui autem me audierit absque terrore requiescet et abundantia perfruetur malorum timore sublato
