Proverbs I. Proverbs. Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and reject not the rules of thy mother. For thou shalt receive for thine head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round thy neck. My son, let not ungodly men lead thee astray, neither consent thou to them.
Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.
Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech. Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness. This document is from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library at Calvin College.
