Proverbs 9


Chapters:



1:   Wisdom hath builded 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:   Whoso 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 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 be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

13:   A foolish woman is clamourous: 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:   Whoso 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.
