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