1The proverbs of Solomon, David's kid, king of Israel; straight up iconic.

2To know the vibes of wisdom and how to level up; to get the feels of understanding.

3To take in the wisdom game, justice, and fair play; keep it real and balanced.

4To give some rizz to the clueless, and drop knowledge and finesse on the young bucks.

5A wise dude will listen up and boost his learning; a dude with insight will catch the wise moves.

6To get the 411 on a proverb and decode it; the wise words and their deep thoughts.

7The fear of the Lord is where knowledge kicks off: but fools are sus about wisdom and lessons.

8Yo, my son, vibe with your dad's lessons, and don’t ditch your mom's rules.

9They’ll be like a dope crown on your head and fresh chains around your neck.

10My dude, if sinners try to pull you in, just say no cap, keep it moving.

11If they say, "Slide with us, let’s catch some vibes and mess with the innocent for no reason,"

12"Let’s take them out like they’re nothing, just like going down into the abyss,"

13"We’ll score all the good stuff and fill our crib with loot,"

14"Join our crew; let’s all stack that cash together,"

15"Yo, my dude, don’t roll with them; stay off their path,"

16"Their feet be sprinting to chaos, quick to spill blood, no cap."

17"For real, spreading a trap in front of a bird is just sus."

18"They’re waiting to get wrecked themselves; lurking for their own downfall."

19"That’s how greedy peeps roll; they end up taking their own life away."

20"Wisdom’s out here shouting; she’s dropping knowledge in the streets:"

21She’s out here shouting in the busiest spots, at the gates, dropping her truth, like, "Listen up!"

22Yo, how long you gonna vibe with being basic? Scorners are just flexing, and fools are straight-up haters of knowledge.

23Change your ways, fam: I’m about to drop my spirit on you and spill the tea on my words.

24I called out, but y’all ghosted; I reached out, and no one even noticed.

25But you straight-up ignored all my advice, like, "Nah, we’re good."

26I’m gonna laugh when things go south; I’ll be mocking when you’re scared, no cap.

27When your fears hit hard, like a storm, and everything’s chaotic, just know I’m watching.

28Then y’all gonna hit me up, but I won’t pick up; you’ll look for me early, but I’ll be MIA.

29They hated knowledge and chose to not respect the vibes of the Lord.

30They wanted none of my advice; they dissed all my warnings.

31So they gonna munch on the fruit of their own choices and be all filled up with their own plans, no cap.

32When the simple turn away, it’s a wrap for them, and the fools’ success is just straight-up destruction, fr.

33But whoever listens to me is gonna vibe safe and chill without fear of the bad stuff, periodt.

1The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

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

9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

10My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

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

17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

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

19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

20Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

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

32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
