29 Proverbs of Solomon 9:1

29 Proverbs of Solomon 9:1-18 ¹Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: ²She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. ³She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, ⁴Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith 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 reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. ⁸Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 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 thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. ¹²If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

¹³A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. ¹⁴For she sitteth 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 hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, ¹⁷Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. ¹⁸But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.(KJV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 9:1-18 ¹Wisdom hath builded her house;

She hath hewn out her seven pillars:

²She hath killed her beasts;

She hath mingled her wine;

She hath also furnished her table:

³She hath sent forth her maidens;

She crieth upon the highest places of the city:

⁴Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:

As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

⁵Come, eat ye of my bread,

And drink of the wine which I have mingled.

⁶Leave off, ye simple ones, and live;

And walk in the way of understanding.

⁷He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling;

And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

⁸Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee:

Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

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

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

¹⁰The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;

And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

¹¹For by me thy days shall be multiplied,

And the years of thy life shall be increased.

¹²If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself;

And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.

¹³The foolish woman is clamorous;

She is simple, and knoweth nothing.

¹⁴And she sitteth at the door of her house,

On a seat in the high places of the city,

¹⁵To call to them that pass by,

Who go right on their ways:

¹⁶Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither;

And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

¹⁷Stolen waters are sweet,

And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

¹⁸But he knoweth not that the dead are there;(ASV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 9:1-18 ¹WISDOM has built her house, she has set up in it seven pillars; ²She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also prepared her table. ³She has sent forth her servants to cry out upon the highest places and say, ⁴Whosoever is simple, let him come to me; as for him who lacks understanding, she said to him, ⁵Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine which I have mingled. ⁶Forsake folly, and live; and go in the way of understanding. ⁷Correction for a bad man brings disgrace; the wicked man is rebuked by his own blemish. ⁸Reprove not a bad man, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. ⁹Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. ¹⁰The reverence of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the righteous is understanding. ¹¹For by her your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased. ¹²My son, if you are wise, you are wise for yourself and for your friends; but if you are evil-minded, you alone shall bear your evils;

¹³¶ He who denies things falsely feeds on winds and pursues fowl of the air; for he has forsaken the way to his vineyard and the paths of his labor, to journey in the wilderness without water; in the places that are trodden he travels thirsty and gains nothing. ¹⁴A foolish woman is enticing; she does not know what shame is; she sits at the door of her home on a high seat, ¹⁵She calls those who pass by, who go right on their ways; ¹⁶She says, He who is simple, let him come to me; and as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, ¹⁷Stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. ¹⁸But he does not know that the mighty men perish with her and that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. (19) Now rise up, and do not abide in that place; do not cast your eye at her; thus pass by the waters of strangers; cross over a strange river, and turn away from the waters of strangers; you shall not drink of the waters of strangers. For in doing so a multitude of days and years of life shall be added to you. (LAM)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 9:1-18 ¹Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars. ²She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. ³She has sent out her maids to call from the highest places in the town, ⁴"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who is without sense she says, ⁵"Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. ⁶Leave simpleness, and live, and walk in the way of insight." ⁷He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. ⁸Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. ⁹Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning. ¹⁰The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. ¹¹For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. ¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it. ¹³A foolish woman is noisy; she is wanton and knows no shame. ¹⁴She sits at the door of her house, she takes a seat on the high places of the town, ¹⁵calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, ¹⁶"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who is without sense she says, ¹⁷"Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant." ¹⁸But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. (RSV)
