1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
I want to highlight 4 Versus from this chapter
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
Verse 5 tells us a wise person will open his ear to hear & he will increase in learning. Learning is a life long process as we progress in life. A man who is knowledgeable will attain the highest level of the best wise counsels in life.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Verse 7 tells us the beginning of true knowledge begins with the fear of God. That there is a God which commands reverence. While fools do not bother with wisdom or instruction
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
Those who gamble greedily without careful investing will always end in trouble. Greed takes away the life of the owners eventually. Many commit suicide after they had lost all in a casino. So avoid games of chance in life. Learn to invest patiently with margin of safety in mind.
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Finally, God wants all men and women to repent of sins and turn back to God at His reproof.
There is a promise:
"I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you"
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSE FOR PROVERBS CHAPTER 1
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
When a sinner turns to God and receive Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour, or a wayward Christian turns back from his backsliding GOD WILL POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT ON HIM/HER
And this is a New Modern Translation (NIV)
Coming up Next is ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER ONE
Both the Book of Proverbs and the Book of Ecclesiastes were written by King Solomon
PLEASE NOTE FURTHER:
IN THE STOCK MARKET THERE ARE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE
1) THOSE WHO INVEST BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET IS AN AVENUE FOR INVESTING INTO COMPANIES OR BUSINESSES. THIS IS FOR CAPITAL GROWTH TO PRESERVE WEALTH AGAINST THE RAVAGES OF INFLATION
2) SOME TREAT THE STOCK MARKET AS A CASINO. LAST TIME IFCA WAS CHASED FROM A LOW OF 7 SEN TO THE GIDDY HEIGHT OF RM1.87
IT WAS RAMPANT GREED THAT BLINDED SO MANY WHO GOT CAUGHT IN IFCA
IN THE END IFCA CRASHED LIMIT DOWN 3 TIMES FROM RM1.87 TO THE LOW OF 25 SEN
AND MORE THAN 90% OF FELLOW FORUMERS WERE WIPED OFF AND NO LONGER JOIN US
SO DEAR FRIENDS, PLEASE BE VERY CAREFULLY OF RUNAWAY GREED.

in this evil age, the holy book gives comfort and wisdom and light only to its seeker. To use it like this in order to send a personal message is not right. You are using Gods word in vain. The wisdom contained inside are not easy to be understood and explain. It needs to be told by a holy person full of love and with no ulterior motive other than to enlighten the soul ofanother and brings comfort to another. Its not a book of judgement. God the author is the true judge.

No source should be treated as dogma, canon or sacred. To believe so is to believe in binary thinking, if it's not A, then it's B. Whether there is truth in C, D or E, binary thinking only choose to accept A or B.

Please please stop your preaching and come to your real sense. First stop your conning job. Ask forgiveness from the Almighty whose Son is Risen today. And start your work tomorrow onwards without conning people
Do you know how many innocent people/ soul you have cheated and how many is suffering? Is it the very reason that Christ came to this world? He has saved but you are Destroying. Please sit for a few minutes and Reflect what you have done? The Lord is faithful to forgive you but try to understand one, “The more you know Him the more you will be asked on judgement day. I have heard that people had vision about hell where a lot of pastors and evangelist are groaning and moaning in hell. DO YOU WANT TO BE one?
Think Calvin carefully.

the fact that Calvin Tan's many stocks recommendations does not pan out as uplifting as one would be lead to believe (despite his repeated enthusiastic touting as great values stocks that will rocket soon), may make one to feel letdown, deceived, mislead, lied to, and conned .
This is a valid reaction but to feel justified solely due to this impression, to call a person a liar and conman ,may make an accuser equally guilty of the same, if no solid proofs is put forward to justify such serious allegations.
The accuser may in fact be guilty of libel in a court of law.
The most one can say is the Calvin Tan's stock tips cannot be believed / trusted because most of the time, the stock does not move up in the reasonable timeframe that is expected, and worse it moved down instead.
That however, is not enough to warrant calling someone a liar and conman.
You need to furnish some reasonable proof of the intent to lie and con and purported gain that the accused will stand to benefit.
This is called responsible and reasonable thinking.
