King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. The proverbs[H4912] of Solomon[H8010] the son[H1121] of David,[H1732] king[H4428] of Israel;[H3478]

2. To know[H3045] wisdom[H2451] and instruction;[H4148] to perceive[H995] the words[H561] of understanding;[H998]

3. To receive[H3947] the instruction[H4148] of wisdom,[H7919] justice,[H6664] and judgment,[H4941] and equity;[H4339]

4. To give[H5414] subtlety[H6195] to the simple,[H6612] to the young man[H5288] knowledge[H1847] and discretion.[H4209]

5. A wise[H2450] man will hear,[H8085] and will increase[H3254] learning;[H3948] and a man of understanding[H995] shall attain[H7069] unto wise counsels: [H8458]

6. To understand[H995] a proverb,[H4912] and the interpretation;[H4426] the words[H1697] of the wise,[H2450] and their dark sayings.[H2420]

7. The fear[H3374] of the LORD[H3068] is the beginning[H7225] of knowledge:[H1847] but fools[H191] despise[H936] wisdom[H2451] and instruction.[H4148]

8. My son,[H1121] hear[H8085] the instruction[H4148] of thy father,[H1] and forsake[H5203] not[H408] the law[H8451] of thy mother: [H517]

9. For[H3588] they[H1992] shall be an ornament[H3880] of grace[H2580] unto thy head,[H7218] and chains[H6060] about thy neck.[H1621]

10. My son,[H1121] if[H518] sinners[H2400] entice[H6601] thee, consent[H14] thou not.[H408]

11. If[H518] they say,[H559] Come[H1980] with[H854] us, let us lay wait[H693] for blood,[H1818] let us lurk privily[H6845] for the innocent[H5355] without cause: [H2600]

12. Let us swallow them up[H1104] alive[H2416] as the grave;[H7585] and whole,[H8549] as those that go down[H3381] into the pit: [H953]

13. We shall find[H4672] all[H3605] precious[H3368] substance,[H1952] we shall fill[H4390] our houses[H1004] with spoil: [H7998]

14. Cast in[H5307] thy lot[H1486] among[H8432] us; let us all[H3605] have[H1961] one[H259] purse: [H3599]

15. My son,[H1121] walk[H1980] not[H408] thou in the way[H1870] with[H854] them; refrain[H4513] thy foot[H7272] from their path:[H4480] [H5410]

16. For[H3588] their feet[H7272] run[H7323] to evil,[H7451] and make haste[H4116] to shed[H8210] blood.[H1818]

17. Surely[H3588] in vain[H2600] the net[H7568] is spread[H2219] in the sight[H5869] of any[H3605] bird.[H1167] [H3671]

18. And they[H1992] lay wait[H693] for their own blood;[H1818] they lurk privily[H6845] for their own lives.[H5315]

19. So[H3651] are the ways[H734] of every one[H3605] that is greedy[H1214] of gain;[H1215] which taketh away[H3947] [H853] the life[H5315] of the owners[H1167] thereof.

20. Wisdom[H2454] crieth[H7442] without;[H2351] she uttereth[H5414] her voice[H6963] in the streets: [H7339]

21. She crieth[H7121] in the chief[H7218] place of concourse,[H1993] in the openings[H6607] of the gates:[H8179] in the city[H5892] she uttereth[H559] her words,[H561] saying,

22. How long,[H5704] [H4970] ye simple ones,[H6612] will ye love[H157] simplicity?[H6612] and the scorners[H3887] delight[H2530] in their scorning,[H3944] and fools[H3684] hate[H8130] knowledge?[H1847]

23. Turn[H7725] you at my reproof:[H8433] behold,[H2009] I will pour out[H5042] my spirit[H7307] unto you, I will make known[H3045] my words[H1697] unto you.

24. Because[H3282] I have called,[H7121] and ye refused;[H3985] I have stretched out[H5186] my hand,[H3027] and no man[H369] regarded;[H7181]

25. But ye have set at naught[H6544] all[H3605] my counsel,[H6098] and would[H14] none[H3808] of my reproof: [H8433]

26. I[H589] also[H1571] will laugh[H7832] at your calamity;[H343] I will mock[H3932] when your fear[H6343] cometh;[H935]

27. When your fear[H6343] cometh[H935] as desolation,[H7722] and your destruction[H343] cometh[H857] as a whirlwind;[H5492] when distress[H6869] and anguish[H6695] cometh[H935] upon[H5921] you.

28. Then[H227] shall they call upon[H7121] me, but I will not[H3808] answer;[H6030] they shall seek me early,[H7836] but they shall not[H3808] find[H4672] me:

29. For that[H8478] [H3588] they hated[H8130] knowledge,[H1847] and did not[H3808] choose[H977] the fear[H3374] of the LORD: [H3068]

30. They would[H14] none[H3808] of my counsel:[H6098] they despised[H5006] all[H3605] my reproof.[H8433]

31. Therefore shall they eat[H398] of the fruit[H4480] [H6529] of their own way,[H1870] and be filled[H7646] with their own devices.[H4480] [H4156]

32. For[H3588] the turning away[H4878] of the simple[H6612] shall slay[H2026] them, and the prosperity[H7962] of fools[H3684] shall destroy[H6] them.

33. But whoso hearkeneth[H8085] unto me shall dwell[H7931] safely,[H983] and shall be quiet[H7599] from fear[H4480] [H6343] of evil.[H7451]
