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