Proverbs 9 Verses
1
|
Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; |
2
|
She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also furnished her table. |
3
|
She has sent out her maidens, She cries out from the highest places of the city, |
4
|
"Whoever [is] simple, let him turn in here!" [As for] him who lacks understanding, she says to him, |
5
|
"Come, eat of my bread And drink of the wine I have mixed. |
6
|
Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding. |
7
|
" He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked [man only] harms himself. |
8
|
Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise [man,] and he will love you. |
9
|
Give [instruction] to a wise [man,] and he will be still 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 One [is] understanding. |
11
|
For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you. |
12
|
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And [if] you scoff, you will bear [it] alone." |
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 [by] the highest places of the city, |
15
|
To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: |
16
|
"Whoever [is] simple, let him turn in here"; And [as for] him who lacks understanding, she says to him, |
17
|
"Stolen water is sweet, And bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant." |
18
|
But he does not know that the dead [are] there, [That] her guests [are] in the depths of hell. |
