1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
Voice Reading
1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Voice Reading
1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Voice Reading
1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Voice Reading
1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Voice Reading
1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Voice Reading
1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Voice Reading
1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Voice Reading
1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Chapter 2
2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
Voice Reading
2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Voice Reading
2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Voice Reading
2:4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Voice Reading
2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Voice Reading

Voice Reading
2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Voice Reading
2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Voice Reading
2:9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Voice Reading
2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
Voice Reading
2:12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
Voice Reading
2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
Voice Reading
2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
Voice Reading
2:15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
