Proverbs

¹⁷For in vain is the net spread, in the eyes of any bird: ¹⁸And these 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; it taketh away the life of the owners thereof. ²⁰Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; she uttereth her voice in the broad places; ²¹She crieth in the chief place of concourse; at the entering in of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words: ²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and scorners delight them in 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.
