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