Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 9
Wisdom has built her house.
She has carved out her seven pillars.1Ti 3:15; Heb 3:6; Rev 3:12
She has prepared her meat.
She has mixed her wine.
She has also set her table.
She has sent out her maidens.
She cries from the highest places of the city:Luk 14:16
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,Mat 11:25; 1Co 1:27
“Come, eat some of my bread,
Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!Jhn 6:48; Isa 55:1
Leave your simple ways, and live.
Walk in the way of understanding.”Tit 2:12
One who corrects a mocker invites insult.
One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you.
Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.Pro 15:12; Mat 7:6
Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser.
Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.Pro 27:6
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.Pro 1:7
For by me your days will be multiplied.
The years of your life will be increased.Pro 10:27
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself.
If you mock, you alone will bear it.
The foolish woman is loud,
undisciplined, and knows nothing.
She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat in the high places of the city,
to call to those who pass by,
who go straight on their ways,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
“Stolen water is sweet.
Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”Pro 20:17; Sir 23:23
But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.9:18 Sheol is the place of the dead.Pro 7:27
