Chapter 9 | |
1 | Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: |
2 | She hath 1killed 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 1reproveth a scorner getteth to
himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
|
8 | 1Reprove 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. |
