1 The Prouerbes of Solomon the sonne of Dauid, King of Israel,
2 To knowe wisedome and instruction, to perceiue the words of vnderstanding,
3 To receiue the instruction of wisdome, iustice, and iudgement & equitie,
4 To giue subtiltie to the simple, to the yong man knowledge and discretion.
6 To vnderstand a prouerbe, and the interpretation; the wordes of the wise, and their darke sayings.
7 ¶ The feare of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction.
8 My sonne, heare the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace vnto thy head, and chaines about thy necke.
10 ¶ My sonne, if sinners entise thee, consent thou not.
12 Let vs swallow them vp aliue, as the graue, and whole, as those that goe downe into the pit:
13 Wee shall finde all precious substance, wee shall fill our houses with spoile:
14 Cast in thy lot among vs, let vs all haue one purse:
15 My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them; refraine thy foot from their path:
16 For their feete runne to euil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vaine the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their owne blood, they lurke priuily for their owne liues.
20 ¶ Wisedome crieth without, she vttereth her voice in the streets:
24 ¶ Because I haue called, and yee refused, I haue stretched out my hand, and no man regarded:
25 But ye haue set at nought all my counsell, & would none of my reproofe:
26 I also will laugh at your calamitie, I wil mocke when your feare commeth.
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the feare of the Lord.
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproofe.
31 Therefore shall they eate of the fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fooles shall destroy them.
33 But who so hearkneth vnto mee, shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from feare of euill.

To those who seek him, the door was opened for me with the gift of baptism in the holy ghost like in acts. I wanted to know he was real and not just traditions of men. These books of wisdom opened my understanding and fear of the Lord. I know he is real for I sought him early each morning and read all of proverbs, psalms, and ecclesiastes. His audible voice spoke to me in a soft whisper saying "My child, you have the Holy Spirit". Since then the words of the bible have come alive jumping off the page with his spirit reading each word with me. These books have become my favorites and I know how Job must have felt in the presence of God. I wish that gift for whoever reads this. Seek and you will find him knock and the door will be opened.
