| Proverbs 9:1 | Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;
|
| Proverbs 9:2 | She hath prepared her meat, she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
|
| Proverbs 9:3 | She hath sent forth her maidens, she calleth, upon the highest places of the city:
|
| Proverbs 9:4 | 'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
|
| Proverbs 9:5 | 'Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
|
| Proverbs 9:6 | Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
|
| Proverbs 9:7 | He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame, and he that reproveth a wicked man, it becometh unto him a blot.
|
| Proverbs 9:8 | Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
|
| Proverbs 9:9 | Give to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
|
| Proverbs 9:10 | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the All-holy is understanding.
|
| Proverbs 9:11 | For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
|
| Proverbs 9:12 | If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.'
|
| Proverbs 9:13 | The woman Folly is riotous; she is thoughtless, and knoweth nothing.
|
| Proverbs 9:14 | And she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
|
| Proverbs 9:15 | To call to them that pass by, who go right on their ways:
|
| Proverbs 9:16 | 'Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; and as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
|
| Proverbs 9:17 | 'Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.'
|
| Proverbs 9:18 | But he knoweth not that the shades are there; that her guests are in the depths of the nether-world.
