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.
