Proverbs 9
Big screen- 1Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
- 2She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
- 3She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
- 4Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
- 5Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
- 6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
- 7He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
- 8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
- 9Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
- 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
- 11For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
- 12If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
- 13A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
- 14For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
- 15To call passengers who go right on their ways:
- 16Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
- 17Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
- 18But he knows not that the dead are there; and that her guest are in the depths of hell.
