| 9 1 | Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars. | Wisdom & simpleness. Pr.9.1-18 | חָכְמֹות בָּנְתָה בֵיתָהּ חָצְבָה עַמּוּדֶיהָ שִׁבְעָה׃ |
| 2 | She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. | טָבְחָה טִבְחָהּ מָסְכָה יֵינָהּ אַף עָרְכָה שֻׁלְחָנָהּ׃ | |
| 3 | She has sent out her maids to call from the highest places in the town, | שָׁלְחָה נַעֲרֹתֶיהָ תִקְרָא עַל־גַּפֵּי מְרֹמֵי קָרֶת׃ | |
| 4 | "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who is without sense she says, | מִי־פֶתִי יָסֻר הֵנָּה חֲסַר־לֵב אָמְרָה לֹּו׃ | |
| 5 | "Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. | לְכוּ לַחֲמוּ בְלַחֲמִי וּשְׁתוּ בְּיַיִן מָסָכְתִּי׃ | |
| 6 | Leave simpleness, and live, and walk in the way of insight." | עִזְבוּ פְתָאיִם וִחְיוּ וְאִשְׁרוּ בְּדֶרֶךְ בִּינָה׃ | |
| 7 | He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. | יֹסֵר לֵץ לֹקֵחַ לֹו קָלֹון וּמֹוכִיחַ לְרָשָׁע מוּמֹו׃ | |
| 8 | Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. | אַל־תֹּוכַח לֵץ פֶּן־יִשְׂנָאֶךָּ הֹוכַח לְחָכָם וְיֶאֱהָבֶךָּ׃ | |
| 9 | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning. | תֵּן לְחָכָם וְיֶחְכַּם־עֹוד הֹודַע לְצַדִּיק וְיֹוסֶף לֶקַח׃ ף | |
| 10 | The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. | תְּחִלַּת חָכְמָה יִרְאַת יְהוָה וְדַעַת קְדֹשִׁים בִּינָה׃ | |
| 11 | For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. | כִּי־בִי יִרְבּוּ יָמֶיךָ וְיֹוסִיפוּ לְּךָ שְׁנֹות חַיִּים׃ | |
| 12 | If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it. | אִם־חָכַמְתָּ חָכַמְתָּ לָּךְ וְלַצְתָּ לְבַדְּךָ תִשָּׂא׃ | |
| 13 | A foolish woman is noisy; she is wanton and knows no shame. | אֵשֶׁת כְּסִילוּת הֹמִיָּה פְּתַיּוּת וּבַל־יָדְעָה מָּה׃ | |
| 14 | She sits at the door of her house, she takes a seat on the high places of the town, | וְיָשְׁבָה לְפֶתַח בֵּיתָהּ עַל־כִּסֵּא מְרֹמֵי קָרֶת׃ | |
| 15 | calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, | לִקְרֹא לְעֹבְרֵי־דָרֶךְ הַמְיַשְּׁרִים אֹרְחֹותָם׃ | |
| 16 | "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who is without sense she says, | מִי־פֶתִי יָסֻר הֵנָּה וַחֲסַר־לֵב וְאָמְרָה לֹּו׃ | |
| 17 | "Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant." | מַיִם־גְּנוּבִים יִמְתָּקוּ וְלֶחֶם סְתָרִים יִנְעָם׃ | |
| 18 | But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. | וְלֹא־יָדַע כִּי־רְפָאִים שָׁם בְּעִמְקֵי שְׁאֹול קְרֻאֶיהָ׃ ף | |
