Proverbs 1:17-22

¹⁷For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings.

¹⁸And these lay wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.

¹⁹So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors.

²⁰Wisdom crieth without; she raiseth her voice in the broadways;

²¹she calleth in the chief place of concourse, in the entry of the gates; in the city she uttereth her words:

²²How long, simple ones, will ye love simpleness, and scorners take pleasure in their scorning, and the foolish hate knowledge?
