Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 9
Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars. 1Ti 3:15; Heb 3:6; Rev 3:12She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table. She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city: Luk 14:16Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said: Mat 11:25; 1Co 1:27Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you. Jhn 6:48; Isa 55:1Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence. Tit 2:12He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot. Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Pro 15:12; Mat 7:6Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it. Pro 27:6The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence. Pro 1:7For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee. Pro 10:27If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil. A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all, Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city, To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey: He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said: Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant. Pro 20:17; Sir 23:23And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.Pro 7:27
