Proverbs 9 (New International Version)

Proverbs 9

Invitations of Wisdom and of Folly
1 Wisdom has built her house;

she has hewn out its seven pillars.

2 She has prepared
her meat and mixed her wine;
she has
also set her table.

3 She has sent out
her maids, and she calls
from the
highest point of the city.

4 "Let all who are
simple come in here!"
she says to those
who lack judgment.

5 "Come, eat my
food
and drink the wine I have mixed.

6 Leave your simple
ways and you will live;
walk in the way
of understanding.

7 "Whoever corrects
a mocker invites insult;
whoever
rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.

8 Do not rebuke a
mocker or he will hate you;
rebuke a
wise man and he will love you.

9 Instruct a wise
man and he will be wiser still;
teach a
righteous man and he will add to his learning.

10 "The fear of
the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,

and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through me
your days will be many,
and years will
be added to your life.

12 If you are
wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if
you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."

13 The woman Folly
is loud;
she is undisciplined and
without knowledge.

14 She sits at the
door of her house,
on a seat at the
highest point of the city,

15 calling out to
those who pass by,
who go straight on
their way.

16 "Let all who
are simple come in here!"
she says to
those who lack judgment.

17 "Stolen water
is sweet;
food eaten in secret is
delicious!"

18 But little do
they know that the dead are there,
that
her guests are in the depths of the grave.
