Proverbs 9 KJV

1. 9:1  Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2. 9:2  She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3. 9:3  She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4. 9:4  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5. 9:5  Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6. 9:6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7. 9:7  He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8. 9:8  Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9. 9:9  Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10. 9:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11. 9:11  For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12. 9:12  If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13. 9:13  A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14. 9:14  For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15. 9:15  To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16. 9:16  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17. 9:17  Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18. 9:18  But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
