Proverbs 9

1Wisdom hath builded her houseH1004; She hath hewn out her sevenH7651 pillarsH5982:2She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wineH3196; She hath alsoH637 furnished her tableH7979:3She hath sentH7971 forthH7971 her maidens; She crieth upon the highest placesH4791 of the city:4Whoso is simple, let him turnH5493 in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,5Come, eatH3898 ye of my breadH3899, And drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 which I have mingled.6LeaveH5800 off, ye simple ones, and liveH2421; And walk in the wayH1870 of understandingH998.7He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wickedH7563 man getteth himself a blot.8ReproveH3198 not a scoffer, lestH6435 he hateH8130 thee: ReproveH3198 a wiseH2450 man, and he will loveH157 thee.9GiveH5414instructionH3948to a wiseH2450 man, and he will be yetH5750 wiser: Teach a righteousH6662 man, and he will increaseH3254 in learning.10The fearH3374 of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdomH2451; And the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 is understandingH998.11For by me thy daysH3117 shall be multipliedH7235, And the yearsH8141 of thy life shall be increasedH3254.12If thou art wiseH2449, thou art wiseH2449 for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou aloneH905 shalt bearH5375 it.13The foolish womanH802 is clamorous; She is simple, and knoweth nothing.14And she sitteth at the doorH6607 of her houseH1004, On a seatH3678 in the highH4791 placesH4791 of the city,15To callH7121 to them that passH5674 by, Who go right on their waysH1870:16Whoso is simple, let him turnH5493 in hither; And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,17StolenH1589 watersH4325 are sweetH4985, And breadH3899eatenin secret is pleasantH5276.18But he knoweth not that the dead are there; That her guests are in the depths of SheolH7585.
