Proverbs: Chapter 9
THE AUTHORIZED VERSION
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her
seven pillars: 2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath
mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the
highest places of the city, 4 Whoso is simple, let him
turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she
saith 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
reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that
rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8 Reprove
not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he
will love thee. 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 thy days shall be multiplied, and the years
of thy life shall be increased. 12 If thou be wise, thou
shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone
shalt bear it.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and
knoweth nothing. 14 For she sitteth 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 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him
that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 17 Stolen
waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that
her guests are in the depths of hell.
