Proverbs 9

Wisdom hath builded her house;

She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;

She hath sent forth her maidens;

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:

Come, eat ye of my bread,

Leave off, ye simple ones, and live;

He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling;

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee:

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;

For by me thy days shall be multiplied,

If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself;

The foolish woman is clamorous;

And she sitteth at the door of her house,

To call to them that pass by,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither;

Stolen waters are sweet,

But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
