engKJVCPB: Proverbs 9

=> Chapters

[1] 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 himself a blot.

[8] Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

[9] Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:

Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

[10] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:

And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

[11] For 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.

[13] 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.
