The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

To know wisdom, and instruction:

Proverbs 1:3
To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity:

Proverbs 1:4
To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 1:5
A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.

Proverbs 1:6
He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother :

Proverbs 1:9
That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck.

Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.

Proverbs 1:11
If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause:

Proverbs 1:12
Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit.

Proverbs 1:13
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils.

Proverbs 1:14
Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse.

Proverbs 1:15
My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths.

Proverbs 1:16
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Proverbs 1:17
But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings.

Proverbs 1:19
So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors.

Proverbs 1:20
Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets:

Proverbs 1:21
At the head of multitudes she crieth out, in the entrance of the gates of the city she uttereth her words, saying:

Proverbs 1:22
O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?

Proverbs 1:23
Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.

Proverbs 1:24
Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded.

Proverbs 1:25
You have despised all my counsel, and have neglected my reprehensions.

Proverbs 1:26
I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared.

Proverbs 1:27
When sudden calamity shall fall on you, and destruction, as a tempest, shall be at hand: when tribulation and distress shall come upon you:

Proverbs 1:28
Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning and shall not find me:

Proverbs 1:29
Because they have hated instruction and received not the fear of the Lord,

Proverbs 1:30
Nor consented to my counsel, but despised all my reproof.

Proverbs 1:31
Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be filled with their own devices.

Proverbs 1:32
The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Proverbs 1:33
But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...

Proverbs 12:2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.

Proverbs 12:6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.

Proverbs 12:8 A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt. Proverbs 12:9 Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread. Proverbs 1...
