Chapter 9

1


 

  Wisdom hath built 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


 

  Whoever 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 shall 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 art 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


 

  Whoever 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.
