Proverbios 9,1-18
Chapter IX.
1 The discipline, 4 and doctrine of wisedome. 13 The custome, 16 and error of folly.
1 Wisedome hath builded her house: she hath hewen out her seuen pillars.
2 She hath killed [ Hebrew: her killing.] her beastes; she hath mingled her wine: she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens; she cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie.
4 Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she sayth to him:
5 Come, eate of my bread, and drinke of the wine, which I haue mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and liue; and goe in the way of vnderstanding.
7 He that reproueth a scorner, getteth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himselfe a blot.
8 [ Mat_7:16.] Reproue not a scorner, lest hee hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and hee will loue thee.
9 Giue instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a iust man, and he will increase in learning.
10 [ Job_28:28; Psa_111:10; Pro_1:7.] The feare of the Lord is the beginning of wisedome: and the knowledge of the holy is vnderstanding.
11 [ Pro_10:7.] For by me thy dayes shall be multiplied: and the yeeres of thy life shalbe increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt beare it.
13 [ Pro_7:11.] A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, & knoweth nothing.
[The iust blessed.]
14 For she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate, in the high places of the Citie:
15 To call passengers who go right on their wayes:
16 Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: and as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she saith to him;
17 Stollen waters are sweet, and bread [ Hebrew: of secrecies.] eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But hee knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
