Proverbs 1
22 - “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
Select
1 - The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
2 - to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
3 - to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 - to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man:
5 - that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
6 - to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.
7 - The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
8 - My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:
9 - for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.
10 - My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.
11 - If they say, “Come with us, Let’s lay in wait for blood; let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 - let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.
13 - We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
14 - You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse.”
15 - My son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,
16 - for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
17 - For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:
18 - but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 - So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
20 - Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
21 - She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
22 - “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
23 - Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.
24 - Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
25 - but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
26 - I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;
27 - when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come on you.
28 - Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;
29 - because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.
30 - They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
31 - Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.
32 - For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
33 - But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
Proverbs 1:22
22 / 33
“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
