Proverbs 1:13-25

¹³We shall finde all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoyle:

¹⁴Cast in thy lot among vs: we will all haue one purse:

¹⁵My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them: refraine thy foote from their path.

¹⁶For their feete runne to euill, and make haste to shed blood.

¹⁷Certainely as without cause the net is spred before the eyes of all that hath wing:

¹⁸So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for their liues.

¹⁹Such are the wayes of euery one that is greedy of gaine: he would take away the life of the owners thereof.

²⁰Wisdome cryeth without: she vttereth her voyce in the streetes.

²¹She calleth in the hye streete, among the prease in the entrings of the gates, and vttereth her wordes in the citie, saying,

²²O ye foolish, howe long will ye loue foolishnes? and the scornefull take their pleasure in scorning, and the fooles hate knowledge?

²³(Turne you at my correction: loe, I will powre out my mind vnto you, and make you vnderstand my wordes)

²⁴Because I haue called, and ye refused: I haue stretched out mine hand, and none woulde regarde.

²⁵But ye haue despised all my counsell, and would none of my correction.
