Proverbs 9
</p>
<p>
1. Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
<br/>
2. She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her
table.
<br/>
3. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
<br/>
4. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she
saith to him,
<br/>
5. Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
<br/>
6. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
<br/>
<b>7. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked
man getteth himself a blot.</b>
<br/>
<b> 8. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.</b>
<br/>
<b>9. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he
will increase in learning.</b>
<br/>
<b>10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
understanding.</b>
<br/>
11. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
<br/>
12. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone
shalt bear it.
<br/>
<b>13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.</b>
<br/>
<b> 14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the
city,</b>
<br/>
<b> 15. To call passengers who go right on their ways:</b>
<br/>
<b> 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,</b>
<br/>
<b> 17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.</b>
<br/>
<b> 18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths
of hell.</b>
