chapter_Proverbs_9
Proverbs 9:1: Wisdom hath builded her house, She hath hewn out her pillars &#8212; seven. Proverbs 9:2: She hath slaughtered her slaughter, She hath mingled her wine, Yea, she hath arranged her table. Proverbs 9:3: She hath sent forth her damsels, She crieth on the tops of the high places of the city: Proverbs 9:4: Who is simple? let him turn aside hither.' Whoso lacketh heart: she hath said to him, Proverbs 9:5: 'Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have mingled. Proverbs 9:6: Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding. Proverbs 9:7: The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it &#8212; shame, And a reprover of the wicked &#8212; his blemish. Proverbs 9:8: Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee. Proverbs 9:9: Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increaseth learning. Proverbs 9:10: The commencement of wisdom is the fear of Jehovah, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones is understanding. Proverbs 9:11: For by me do thy days multiply, And added to thee are years of life. Proverbs 9:12: If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself, And thou hast scorned &#8212; thyself bearest it. Proverbs 9:13: A foolish woman is noisy, Simple, and hath not known what. Proverbs 9:14: And she hath sat at the opening of her house, On a throne &#8212; the high places of the city, Proverbs 9:15: To call to those passing by the way, Who are going straight on their paths. Proverbs 9:16: Who is simple? let him turn aside hither.' And whoso lacketh heart &#8212; she said to him, Proverbs 9:17: 'Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden bread is pleasant.' Proverbs 9:18: And he hath not known that Rephaim are there, In deep places of Sheol her invited ones!
