Wisdom's Invitation |
|
|
 |
| Proverbs 9:1 |
|
Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out
her seven pillars; |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:2 |
|
She has prepared her food, she has mixed her
wine; She has also set her table; |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 9:3 |
|
She has sent out her maidens, she calls From
the tops of the heights of the city: |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 9:4 |
|
"Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To
him who lacks understanding she says, |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 9:5 |
|
"Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine
I have mixed. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 9:6 |
|
"Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in
the way of understanding." |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 9:7 |
|
He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for
himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:8 |
|
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you,
Reprove a wise man and he will love you. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:9 |
|
Give instruction to a wise man and he will be
still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:10 |
|
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:11 |
|
For by me your days will be multiplied, And
years of life will be added to you. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:12 |
|
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you alone will bear it. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:13 |
|
The woman of folly is boisterous, She is naive
and knows nothing. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:14 |
|
She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat
by the high places of the city, |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:15 |
|
Calling to those who pass by, Who are making
their paths straight: |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:16 |
|
"Whoever is naive, let him turn in here," And
to him who lacks understanding she says, |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:17 |
|
"Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret
is pleasant." |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 9:18 |
|
But he does not know that the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of Sheol. |
