| Proverbs 9: (ASV) |
| 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 is void of understanding, she saith to him, |
| 5) Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled. |
| 6) Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding. |
| 7) He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot. |
| 8) Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee. |
| 9) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. |
| 10) The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One 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 art wise for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it. |
| 13) The foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knoweth nothing. |
| 14) And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city, |
| 15) To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways: |
| 16) Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; And as for him that is void of 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; That her guests are in the depths of Sheol. |
