Webster - Proverbs - 9

9:1  Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

9:2  She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

9:3  She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

9:4  Whoever [is] simple, let him turn in hither: [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

9:5  Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled.

9:6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

9:7  He that reproveth a scorner, getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot.

9:8  Reprove not a scorner, lest he shall hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

9:9  Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.

9:10  The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

9:11  For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

9:12  If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear [it].

9:13  A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing.

9:14  For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

9:15  To call passengers who go right on their ways:

9:16  Whoever [is] simple, let him turn in hither: and [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

9:17  Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant.

9:18  But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] her guests [are] in the depths of hell.
