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