Prouerbs 9

¹Wisedome hath builded her house: she hath hewen out her seuen pillars.

²She hath killed her beastes; she hath mingled her wine: she hath also furnished her table.

³She hath sent forth her maidens; she cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie.

⁴Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she sayth to him:

⁵Come, eate of my bread, and drinke of the wine, which I haue mingled.

⁶Forsake the foolish, and liue; and goe in the way of vnderstanding.

⁷He that reproueth a scorner, getteth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himselfe a blot.

⁸Reproue not a scorner, lest hee hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and hee will loue thee.

⁹Giue instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a iust man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰The feare of the Lord is the beginning of wisedome: and the knowledge of the holy is vnderstanding.

¹¹For by me thy dayes shall be multiplied: and the yeeres of thy life shalbe increased.

¹²If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt beare it.

¹³A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, & knoweth nothing.

¹⁴For she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate, in the high places of the Citie:

¹⁵To call passengers who go right on their wayes:

¹⁶Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: and as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she saith to him;

¹⁷Stollen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

¹⁸But hee knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
