Proverbs #9


PROVERBS 9
“The Way of Wisdom”


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."


“The Way of Folly”

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.
