Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 9
Chochmah hath built her bais,
she hath hewn out her seven ammudim;1Ti 3:15; Heb 3:6; Rev 3:12
She hath prepared her meat;
she hath mixed her yayin; she hath also set her shulchan.
She hath sent forth her na'arot;
she calleth from the highest points of the city;Luk 14:16
Whosoever is simple, let him turn in here;
as for him that lacketh lev (a heart of understanding), she saith to him,Mat 11:25; 1Co 1:27
Come, eat of my lechem,
and drink of the yayin which I have mixed.9:5 Yn 6:53-54Jhn 6:48; Isa 55:1
Forsake the simple ways, and live;
and go in the derech binah.Tit 2:12
He that reproveth a letz (mocker) getteth to himself shame,
and he that is a mochiach (reprover) of a wicked man getteth himself a blot stain.
Reprove not a letz, lest he hate thee;
rebuke a chacham, and he will love thee.Pro 15:12; Mat 7:6
Give instruction to a chacham, and he will be yet wiser;
teach a tzaddik, and he will increase in learning.Pro 27:6
The Yirat Hashem is the beginning of chochmah,
and the da'as Kedoshim (knowledge of the Holy One) is binah (understanding).Pro 1:7
For by me thy yamim shall be multiplied,
and shanot chayyim shall be increased to thee.Pro 10:27
If thou be chacham, thou shalt be wise for thyself,
but if thou mockest, thou alone shalt suffer.
Aishes Kesilut (Dame Folly) is clamorous;
she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
For she sitteth at the petach (doorway) of her bais,
on a seat in the high places of the city,
To call those passing on the derech (road)
who go straight on their way:
Whoso is simple, let him turn in here,
and as for him that lacketh lev (heart of understanding), she saith to him:
Stolen waters are sweet,
and lechem eaten in secret is pleasant.Pro 20:17
But he has no da'as that the dead ones are there;
and that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.Pro 7:27
