PR-9:1  Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her

seven pillars:

PR-9:2  She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;

she hath also

furnished her table.

PR-9:3  She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the

highest places of

the city,

PR-9:4  Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: [as for] him

that wanteth

understanding, she saith to him,

PR-9:5  Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine [which] I

have mingled.

PR-9:6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of

understanding.

PR-9:7  He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame:

and he that

rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot.

PR-9:8  Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise

man, and he

will love thee.

PR-9:9  Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet

wiser: teach a

just [man], and he will increase in learning.

PR-9:10  The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and

the knowledge

of the holy [is] understanding.

PR-9:11  For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years

of thy life

shall be increased.

PR-9:12  If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but

[if] thou

scornest, thou alone shalt bear [it].

PR-9:13  A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and

knoweth nothing.

PR-9:14  For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in

the high

places of the city,

PR-9:15  To call passengers who go right on their ways:

PR-9:16  Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: and [as for]

him that

wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

PR-9:17  Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is

pleasant.

PR-9:18  But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and

that] her guests

[are] in the depths of hell.
