  • Proverbs 1:1-3
    The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
    To know wisdom and instruction,
    To perceive the words of understanding,
    To receive the instruction of wisdom,
    Justice, judgment, and equity;

     
  • Proverbs 1:5-8
    A wise man will hear and increase learning,
    And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
    To understand a proverb and an enigma,
    The words of the wise and their riddles.
    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
    But fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of your father,
    And do not forsake the law of your mother;

     
  • Proverbs 1:20-33
    Wisdom calls aloud outside;
    She raises her voice in the open squares.
    She cries out in the chief concourses,
    At the openings of the gates in the city
    She speaks her words:
    " How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    For scorners delight in their scorning,
    And fools hate knowledge.
    Turn at my rebuke;
    Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
    I will make my words known to you.
    Because I have called and you refused,
    I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
    Because you disdained all my counsel,
    And would have none of my rebuke,
    I also will laugh at your calamity;
    I will mock when your terror comes,
    When your terror comes like a storm,
    And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
    When distress and anguish come upon you.
    " Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
    They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
    Because they hated knowledge
    And did not choose the fear of the LORD,
    They would have none of my counsel
    And despised my every rebuke.
    Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
    And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
    For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
    And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
    But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
    And will be secure, without fear of evil.”
     
  • Proverbs 22:6
    Train up a child in the way he should go,
    And when he is old he will not depart from it.

     
  • Proverbs 8:15
    By me kings reign,
    And rulers decree justice.

     
  • Proverbs 14:15
    The simple believes every word,
    But the prudent considers well his steps.

     
  • Proverbs 22:3
    A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
    But the simple pass on and are punished.
