Proverbs  


9 : 1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;
9 : 2 She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table;
9 : 3 She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the tops of the heights of the city:
9 : 4 Whoever is naive, let him turn in here! To him who lacks understanding she says,
9 : 5 Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed.
9 : 6 Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in the way of understanding.
9 : 7 He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
9 : 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
9 : 9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.
9 : 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
9 : 11 For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.
9 : 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
9 : 13 The woman of folly is boisterous, She is naive and knows nothing.
9 : 14 She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high places of the city,
9 : 15 Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight:
9 : 16 Whoever is naive, let him turn in here, And to him who lacks understanding she says,
9 : 17 Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
9 : 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
