Proverbs 9
King James Version
9 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
Proverbs 9
Revised Geneva Translation
9 Wisdom has built her house; hewn out her seven pillars.
2 She has killed her victuals, drawn her wine, and prepared her table.
3 She has sent forth her maidens; cries upon the highest places of the city, saying,
4 “Whoever is simple, let him come here.” To whomever is destitute of wisdom, she says,
5 “Come, eat of my food and drink of the wine I have drawn.
6 “Forsake foolishness and you shall live, and walk in the way of understanding.
7 “He that reproves a scoffer, gets himself shame. And he who rebukes the wicked, gets himself a blot.
8 “Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 “Give to the wise, and he will be the wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 “The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD. And the knowledge of holy things is understanding.
11 “For your days shall be multiplied by me. And the years of your life shall be augmented.
12 “If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself. If you are a scoffer, you alone shall suffer.”
13 A foolish woman is troublesome; she is ignorant and knows nothing.
14 But she sits at the door of her house on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 to call those who pass by the way — that go right on their way — saying,
16 “Who so is simple? Let him come here.” And to him who is destitute of wisdom, she says also,
17 “Stolen waters are sweet. And hidden bread is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depth of Hell. THE PARABLE OF SOLOMON.

Ang Karunungan at ang Kamangmangan
9 Ang karunungan ay katulad ng isang taong nagtayo ng kanyang bahay na may pitong haligi. 2 Pagkatapos, nagkaroon siya ng malaking handaan. Naghanda siya ng mga pagkain at mga inumin. 3 At saka inutusan niya ang mga katulong niyang babae na pumunta sa pinakamataas na lugar ng bayan para ipaalam ang ganito: 4 “Kayong mga kulang sa karunungan at pang-unawa, inaanyayahan kayo sa isang malaking handaan. 5 Halikayo, kumain kayo at uminom ng aking inihanda. 6 Iwanan na ninyo ang kamangmangan upang mabuhay kayo nang matagal at may pang-unawa.”
7 Kung sasawayin mo ang taong nangungutya, iinsultuhin ka niya. Kung sasawayin mo ang taong masama, sasaktan ka niya. 8 Kaya huwag mong sasawayin ang taong nangungutya, sapagkat magagalit siya sa iyo. Sawayin mo ang taong marunong at mamahalin ka niya. 9 Kapag tinuruan mo ang isang taong marunong, lalo siyang magiging marunong. At kapag tinuruan mo ang isang taong matuwid, lalo pang lalawak ang kanyang kaalaman.
10 Ang paggalang sa Panginoon ang pasimula ng karunungan. At ang pagkilala sa Banal na Dios ay nagpapahiwatig ng pagkaunawa. 11 Sa pamamagitan ng karunungan, hahaba ang iyong buhay. 12 Kung may karunungan ka, magdudulot ito sa iyo ng kabutihan, ngunit magdurusa ka kung itoʼy iyong tatanggihan.
13 Ang kamangmangan ay katulad ng isang babaeng maingay, hindi marunong at walang nalalaman. 14 Nakaupo siya sa pintuan ng kanyang bahay o sa upuan sa mataas na lugar sa lungsod, 15 at tinatawag ang mga dumadaan na papunta sa kanilang trabaho. 16 Sabi niya, “Halikayo rito, kayong mga walang karunungan.” At sinabi pa niya sa walang pang-unawa, 17 “Mas masarap ang tubig na ninakaw at mas masarap ang pagkain na kinakain ng lihim.” 18 Ngunit hindi alam ng mga taong pumupunta sa kanya na sila ay mamamatay. Ang mga nakapunta na sa kanya ay naroon na sa libingan.
