| 9 | Proverbs | ||
| 1 | Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars. | Wisdom & simpleness. Pr.9.1-18 | |
| 2 | She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. | ||
| 3 | She 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. | ||
| 6 | Leave simpleness, and live, and walk in the way of insight." | ||
| 7 | He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. | ||
| 8 | Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. | ||
| 9 | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning. | ||
| 10 | The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. | ||
| 11 | For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. | ||
| 12 | If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it. | ||
| 13 | A foolish woman is noisy; she is wanton and knows no shame. | ||
| 14 | She sits at the door of her house, she takes a seat on the high places of the town, | ||
| 15 | calling 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." | ||
| 18 | But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. | ||
