Every month I read Proverbs, one chapter a day for 31 days.

Im going to share my reading with you. I tried to pick an easy to read and understand version of the Bible, I had a hard time reading the bible growing up, all we had was the King James version. Now Im not knocking it, but it is a bit tougher to understand, with all the thine, thou shalt, and so an.

Now please , don't get offended, its not easy to read for some people.

Today were reading from Proverbs Chapter 1.

Enjoy..

Pro 1:1  The Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
Pro 1:2  To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
Pro 1:3  to receive instruction in prudence, justice, and judgment, and uprightness;
Pro 1:4  to give sense to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man.
Pro 1:5  The wise hears and increases learning, and the understanding ones gets wise counsel,
Pro 1:6  to understand a proverb and an enigma; the words of the wise, and their acute sayings.
Pro 1:7  The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Pro 1:8  My son, hear your father's instruction, and do not forsake the law of your mother;
Pro 1:9  for they shall be an ornament of grace to your head, and chains for your neck.
Pro 1:10  My son, if sinners lure you, do not be willing.
Pro 1:11  If they say, Walk with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us secretly lurk for the innocent without cause,
Pro 1:12  let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those who go down into the Pit,
Pro 1:13  we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder,
Pro 1:14  cast in your lot among us, one purse shall be to all of us.
Pro 1:15  My son, do not walk in the way with them! Hold back your foot from their path;
Pro 1:16  for their feet run to evil and they haste to shed blood.
Pro 1:17  For in vain the net is spread in the sight of every bird.
Pro 1:18  And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own souls.
Pro 1:19  So are the ways of everyone who gets unjust gain; it takes away its owner's soul.
Pro 1:20  Wisdom cries aloud outside; she gives her voice in the square;
Pro 1:21  she calls at the head of places of commotion; in the opening of the gates, in the city she utters her words:
Pro 1:22  Until when will you love to be simple, you simple ones? And will scorners desire scorn for themselves? And will fools hate knowledge?
Pro 1:23  Turn back at my warning; behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.
Pro 1:24  Because I called, and you refused; I stretch out a hand, and none inclines,
Pro 1:25  but you have ignored all my counsel, and you did not desire my warning.
Pro 1:26  I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your dread comes;
Pro 1:27  when your dread comes like a storm; and your calamity arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come on you.
Pro 1:28  Then they shall call on me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.
Pro 1:29  Instead they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.
Pro 1:30  They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof,
Pro 1:31  and they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own lusts.
Pro 1:32  For the going astray of the simple kills them, and the ease of fools destroys them.
Pro 1:33  But he who listens to me shall live securely and shall be at ease from the dread of evil.
