Chapter 9

¹ Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
² She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
³ She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
⁴ Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
⁵ Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
⁶ Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
⁷ He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
⁸ Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
⁹ Give 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.
¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
¹¹ For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
¹² If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.
¹³ A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,
¹⁴ Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,
¹⁵ To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:
¹⁶ He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:
¹⁷ Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.
¹⁸ And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. The Parables of Solomon

¹ Wisdom has made her house, putting up her seven pillars.
² She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.
³ She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,
⁴ Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:
⁵ Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.
⁶ Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
⁷ He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
⁸ Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.
⁹ Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.
¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind
¹¹ For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.
¹² If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.
¹³ The foolish woman is full of noise; she has no sense at all.
¹⁴ Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town,
¹⁵ Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says:
¹⁶ Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says:
¹⁷ Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.
¹⁸ But he does not see that the dead are there, that her guests are in the deep places of the underworld.
