And receiving instruction in proven behavior, doing what is right and just and fair.
Speaker A
For giving prudence to those who assemble, knowledge and discretion to the young, let the wise listen, add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.
Speaker A
For understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings, the riddles of the wise.
Speaker A
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instructions.
Speaker A
Listen, my son, to the father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching, they are a garland to praise your head and a chain to adorn your neck.
Speaker A
My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them, if they say, come along with us, let's lie and wait for innocent blood, let's ambush some harmless road.
Speaker A
Let's swallow them alive like a grave and whole like those who go down to the pit.
Speaker A
We will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder.
Speaker A
Cast lots with us, we will all share the loot.
Speaker A
My son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their path.
Speaker A
For their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.
Speaker A
Useless to spread a net where every bird can see.
Speaker A
These men lie and wait for their own blood, they ambush only themselves.
Speaker A
Such other path will go, all would go after ill-gotten gain.
Speaker A
It takes away the life of those who go.
Speaker A
Out in the open, wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice on the public square.
Speaker A
On top of the wall, she cries out at the city gates.
Speaker A
She makes her speech.
Speaker A
How long will you, who are simple, love your simple ways?
Speaker A
How long your mockers delight in mockery?
Speaker A
And fools hate knowledge.
Speaker A
Repent at my rebuke.
Speaker A
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you.
Speaker A
I will make known to you my teachings.
Speaker A
But since you refuse to listen when I call, and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hands.
Speaker A
Since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke.
Speaker A
I, I, in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you.
Speaker A
I will mock when calamity overtakes you.
Speaker A
When calamity overtakes you like a storm.
Speaker A
When disaster teach over you like a whirlwind.
Speaker A
When distress and trouble overwhelm you.
Speaker A
Then they will call to me.
Speaker A
But I will not answer.
Speaker A
They will look for me, but will not find me.
Speaker A
Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord.
Speaker A
Since they would not accept my advice and spurned to my rebuke.
Speaker A
You will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
Speaker A
But the way would this of the simple will kill them.
Speaker A
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
Speaker A
But whoever listen to me will live in safety and be at peace without fear of heart.
