Proverbs Chapter 1
These are the proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel; totally legendary.
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
To vibe with wisdom and level up; to grasp the feels of understanding.
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
To take in the wisdom hustle, justice, and fair play; keep it authentic and balanced.
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; {equity: Heb. equities}
To sprinkle some rizz on the clueless, dropping knowledge and finesse on the young homies.
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. {discretion: or, advisement}
A wise bro will tune in and enhance his learning; someone with insight will catch those wise moves.
A wise {man} will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
To get the scoop on a proverb and break it down; the wise sayings and their deep meanings.
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. {the interpretation: or, an eloquent speech}
The fear of the Lord is where knowledge starts: but fools be sus about wisdom and lessons.
The fear of the LORD {is} the beginning of knowledge: {but} fools despise wisdom and instruction. {the beginning: or, the principal part}
Yo, my son, vibe with your pops' teachings, and don’t ditch your mom's guidance.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
They’ll be like a dope crown on your head and fresh bling around your neck.
For they {shall be} an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. {an...: Heb. an adding}
My guy, if sinners try to pull you in, just say no cap, and keep it moving.
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
If they say, "Roll with us, let’s catch some vibes and mess with the innocent for no reason,"
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
"Let’s snatch them up like they’re nothing, just like diving into the void,"
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
"We’ll scoop up all the good stuff and pack our crib with treasure,"
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
"Join our squad; let’s stack that bread together,"
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
"Yo, my dude, don’t roll with them; steer clear of their path,"
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
"Their feet be racing towards chaos, quick to spill blood, no cap."
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
"For real, setting a trap in front of a bird is just sus."
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. {in the...: Heb. in the eyes of every thing that hath a wing}
"They’re just waiting to get wrecked themselves; lurking for their own downfall."
And they lay wait for their {own} blood; they lurk privily for their {own} lives.
"That’s how greedy folks operate; they end up taking their own lives away."
So {are} the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; {which} taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
"Wisdom’s out here shouting; she’s dropping knowledge in the streets:"
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: {Wisdom: Heb. Wisdoms, that is, Excellent wisdom}
She’s out here hollering in the busiest spots, at the gates, sharing her truth, like, "Yo, listen up!"
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, {saying},
Yo, how long you gonna vibe with being basic? Scorners just flex, and fools are straight haters of knowledge.
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Switch up your ways, fam: I’m about to drop my spirit on you and spill the tea on my words.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
I called out, but y’all ghosted; I reached out, and nobody even noticed.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But you straight-up ignored all my advice, like, "Nah, we’re chill."
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I’m gonna be laughing when things go sideways; I’ll be mocking when you’re scared, no cap.
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fears hit hard, like a storm, and everything’s chaotic, just know I’m watching.
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then y’all gonna hit me up, but I won’t answer; you’ll look for me early, but I’ll be MIA.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
They dissed knowledge and chose to ignore the vibes of the Lord.
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
They wanted none of my advice; they brushed off all my warnings.
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
So they gonna munch on the fruit of their own choices and be filled up with their own plans, no cap.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
When the simple turn away, it’s game over for them, and the fools’ success leads to pure chaos, fr.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. {turning...: or, ease of the simple}
But whoever tunes in to me is gonna vibe safe and chill without fear of the bad stuff, periodt.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
