The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 1, Verse 8

The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

King James Version

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

American Standard Version

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

New English Translation

Listen, my child, to the instruction from your father, and do not forsake the teaching from your mother.

World English Bible

My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake your mother's teaching:

For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives.
