Proverbs 1:17-23

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)
