Pr 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
Pr 9:2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also
furnished her table.
Pr 9:3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of
the city,
Pr 9:4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
Pr 9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Pr 9:6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Pr 9:7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that
rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
Pr 9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will
love thee.
Pr 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just
man, and he will increase in learning.
Pr 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of
the holy is understanding.
Pr 9:11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall
be increased.
Pr 9:12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest,
thou alone shalt bear it.
Pr 9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
Pr 9:14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places
of the city,
Pr 9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Pr 9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
Pr 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Pr 9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in
the depths of hell.
