Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 9
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 1Ti 3:15; Heb 3:6; Rev 3:12She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.9.2 her beasts: Heb. her killing She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, Luk 14:16Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Mat 11:25; 1Co 1:27Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Jhn 6:48; Isa 55:1Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. Tit 2:12He 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 hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Pro 15:12; Mat 7:6Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. Pro 27:6The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Pro 1:7For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. Pro 10:27If thou be 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: Whoso 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.9.17 eaten…: Heb. of secrecies Pro 20:17But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.Pro 7:27
