Proverbs 9

Previous chapter Index Next chapter

1 Wisdom built herself a house, she hewed out his seven pillars,
2 She sacrificed her sacrifice, dissolved her wine and prepared a meal for herself;
3 Sent her servants to proclaim from the highlands of the city:
4 `Who is unreasonable, turn here! ' And to the insensitive she said:
5 `Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine that I have dissolved;
6th Leave unreason, and live, and walk by reason. "
7th The one who instructs the scorner will make his own shame, and exposing the wicked is a stain of himself.
8 Do not rebuke a scorner so that he does not hate you; Rebuke the wise, and he will love you;
9 Give [guidance] to the wise, and he will be even wiser; Teach the truthful, and he will increase knowledge.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy is intelligence;
eleven Because through me the days are multiplied, and the years of your life will increase.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; And if there is a bouillon, then one will be tolerated.

13 A foolish woman, noisy, stupid and ignorant
14 Sits at the door of his house on a chair, on the high places of the city,
15 To call those who pass by the way, who walk in their own way:
16 "Who is stupid, turn here!" And she said to the wisecracked:
17th `Stolen water is sweet, and bread concealed is pleasant '.
18 And he does not know that the dead are there, and that in the depths of the underworld they called her.
