Jesus Is LORD

ASV Proverbs

Chapter 9

9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house;
She hath hewn out her seven pillars:
9:2 She hath killed her beasts;
She hath mingled her wine;
She hath also furnished her table:
9:3 She hath sent forth her maidens;
She crieth upon the highest places of the city:
9:4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,
9:5 Come, eat ye of my bread,
And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
9:6 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live;
And walk in the way of understanding.
9:7 He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling;
And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
9:8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee:
Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:
Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
9:10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
9:11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied,
And the years of thy life shall be increased.
9:12 If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself;
And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.
9:13 The foolish woman is clamorous;
She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
9:14 And she sitteth at the door of her house,
On a seat in the high places of the city,
9:15 To call to them that pass by,
Who go right on their ways:
9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither;
And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,
9:17 Stolen waters are sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
