Proverbs 1

1 Mishlei Sh'lomo Ben Dovid, Melech Yisroel; 2 To have da'as of chochmah and musar [(discipline)]; to understand the words of binah; 3 To receive the musar of those with seichel, tzedek and mishpat, and meisharim [(equity, uprightness)]; 4 To give subtlety to the simple, to the na'ar, da'as and discretion. 5 A chacham [(wise person)] will hear, and will increase learning, and a man of understanding shall acquire wise counsel: 6 To understand a mashal [(proverb)], and the melitzah [(enigma)]; the divrei chachamim, and their chidot [(riddles)]. 7 The Yirat Hashem is the reshit da'as, but fools despise chochmah and musar. 8 Beni [(my son)], hear the musar Avicha, and forsake not the Torat Immecha. 9 For they shall be a garland of chen unto thy rosh, and a chain about thy neck. 10 Beni [(my son)], if chatt'aim [(sinners)] entice thee, consent thou not. 11 If they say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for dahm, let us lurk secretly for the naki [(innocent, harmless)] chinnom [(without cause)]; 12 Let us swallow them up chayyim [(alive)] like She'ol; and whole, as those that go down into the bor [(pit)]; 13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill bateinu [(our houses)] with plunder; 14 Throw in thy goral [(lot)] among us; let all of us have kis echad [(one pouch, purse)]. 15 Beni [(my son)], walk not thou in the derech with them; refrain thy regel from their path; 16 For their raglayim run to rah, and make haste for shefach dahm [(shedding of blood)]. 17 Surely in vain the reshet [(net)] is spread in the eyes of kol ba'al kanaf [(all the birds)]; 18 And they lie in wait for their own dahm; they lurk secretly for their own nafshot. 19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy for betza [(ill-gotten gain)]; which taketh away the nefesh of the be'alim [(owners)] thereof. 20 Chochmot crieth out in the street; she lifts up her voice in the rechovot [(city squares)]; 21 She crieth out in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the she'arim [(gates)]; in the Ir [(city)] she uttereth her words, saying, 22 Ad mosai, ye simple ones, will ye love being simpletons? And the scoffers delight in their mockery, and kesilim [(fools)] hate da'as? 23 Turn you at my tokhechah [(reproof)]; hinei, I will pour out my ruach unto you, I will make known my devarim unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my yad, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have disdained all my etza [(counsel)], and would have none of my tokhechah [(reproof)]; 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your pachad [(terror)] cometh; 27 When your pachad [(terror)] cometh like a storm, and your calamity cometh like a whirlwind; when tzarah [(distress)] and oppression cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall look for me diligently, but they shall not find me; 29 For that they hated da'as, and did not choose the Yirat Hashem; 30 They would have none of my etza [(counsel)]; they despised all my tokhechah [(reproof)]. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the p'ri [(fruit)] of their own derech, and be filled with their own mo'atzot [(schemes, devices)]. 32 For the waywardness of the simple shall slay them, and the complacent contentment of kesilim [(fools)] shall destroy them. 33 But the one who payeth heed unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be secure from pachad ra'ah [(terror of evil)].
