|---|---|---|---|
| Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars. | Wisdom & simpleness. Pr.9.1-18 | ||
| She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. | |||
| She has sent out her maids to call from the highest places in the town, | |||
| "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who is without sense she says, | |||
| "Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. | |||
| Leave simpleness, and live, and walk in the way of insight." | |||
| He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. | |||
| Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. | |||
| Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning. | |||
| The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. | |||
| For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. | |||
| If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it. | |||
| A foolish woman is noisy; she is wanton and knows no shame. | |||
| She sits at the door of her house, she takes a seat on the high places of the town, | |||
| calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, | |||
| "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who is without sense she says, | |||
| "Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant." | |||
| But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. | |||
