CHAPTER 9
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2
She hath killed her beasts;
she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3
She hath sent forth her maidens: she
crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4
Whoso
is
simple, let him turn in hither:
as for
him that
wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine
which
I
have mingled.
6
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7
He that reproveth
a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked
man getteth

to a wise
man,
and he will be yet wiser: teach a just
man,

fear of the L
ORD

by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12
If thou be wise,
thou shalt be wise for thyself: but
if
thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear
it.

A foolish woman
is
clamorous:
she is
simple, and knoweth nothing.
14
For she sitteth at the
door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15
To call passengers who go right on
their ways:
16
Whoso
is
simple, let him turn in hither: and
as for
him that wanteth understanding,
she saith to him,
17
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread
eaten
in secret is pleasant.
18
But he knoweth
not that the dead
are
there;
and that
her guests
are
in the depths of hell.
