Proverbs 9

Revised Version 1895

1WisdomH2454 hath builded herH1129 houseH1004, she hath hewnH2672 outH2672 herH1129 sevenH7651 pillarsH5982: 2SheH637 hath killed herH2873 beasts; sheH637 hath mingledH4537 herH2873 wineH3196; sheH637 hath also furnished herH2873 tableH7979. 3SheH7121 hath sentH7971 forthH7971 herH7971 maidensH5291, sheH7121 crieth uponH5921 the highest placesH4791 of the cityH7176, 4Whoso is simple, let him turnH5493 in hither: as for him that is void of understandingH3820, sheH3820 saith to him, 5Come, eatH3898 ye of my breadH3899, and drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 whichH3196 I have mingledH4537. 6LeaveH5800 off, ye simple ones, and liveH2421; and walkH1870 in the wayH1870 of understandingH998. 7He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shameH7036: and he that reproveth a wickedH7563 manH7563 getteth himself a blot. 8ReproveH3198 notH408 a scorner, lestH6435 he hateH8130 thee: reproveH3198 a wiseH2450 manH2450, and he will loveH157 thee. 9GiveH5414 instructionH3948 to a wiseH2450 manH2450, and he will be yet wiserH2449: teachH3045 a righteousH6662 manH2450, and he will increaseH3254 in learningH3948. 10The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451: and the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 One is understandingH998. 11For by meH3254 thy daysH3117 shall be multipliedH7235, and the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH3117 shall be increasedH3254. 12IfH518 thou art wiseH2449, thou art wiseH2449 for thyself: and ifH518 thou scornest, thou aloneH905 shalt bearH5375 it. 13The foolish womanH802 is clamorous; sheH1993 is simple, and knoweth nothingH1077. 14And she sitteth at the doorH6607 of herH5921 houseH1004, on a seatH3678 in the highH4791 placesH4791 of the cityH7176, 15To callH7121 to them that passH5674 by, who goH5674 rightH3474 on their waysH1870, 16Whoso is simple, let him turnH5493 in hither: and as for him that is void of understandingH3820, sheH3820 saith to him, 17StolenH1589 watersH4325 are sweetH4985, and breadH3899 eaten in secret is pleasantH5276. 18But he knoweth notH3808 that the deadH7496 are there; that herH7121 guestsH7121 are in the depths of SheolH7585.
