Proverbs 9
- 1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
- 2 She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
- 3 She has sent forth her maidens: she cries on the highest places of the city,
- 4 Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
- 5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
- 6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
- 7 He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
- 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
- 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
- 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
- 11 For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
- 12 If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it. ¶
- 13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
- 14 For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
- 15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
- 16 Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
- 17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
- 18 But he knows not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
