箴言 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
智慧设筵
9 智慧建造房屋,凿成七根柱子, 2 宰杀牲畜,调和旨酒,设摆筵席, 3 打发使女出去,自己在城中至高处呼叫, 4 说:“谁是愚蒙人,可以转到这里来!”又对那无知的人说: 5 “你们来,吃我的饼,喝我调和的酒。 6 你们愚蒙人要舍弃愚蒙,就得存活,并要走光明的道。”
7 “指斥亵慢人的必受辱骂,责备恶人的必被玷污。 8 不要责备亵慢人,恐怕他恨你;要责备智慧人,他必爱你。 9 教导智慧人,他就越发有智慧;指示义人,他就增长学问。 10 敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端,认识至圣者便是聪明。 11 你借着我,日子必增多,年岁也必加添。 12 你若有智慧,是与自己有益;你若亵慢,就必独自担当。”
愚妇喧嚷
13 愚昧的妇人喧嚷,她是愚蒙,一无所知。 14 她坐在自己的家门口,坐在城中高处的座位上, 15 呼叫过路的,就是直行其道的人, 16 说:“谁是愚蒙人,可以转到这里来!”又对那无知的人说: 17 “偷来的水是甜的,暗吃的饼是好的。” 18 人却不知有阴魂在她那里,她的客在阴间的深处。
Proverbs 9
New International Version
Invitations of Wisdom and Folly
9 Wisdom has built(A) her house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;(B)
she has also set her table.(C)
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls(D)
from the highest point of the city,(E)
4 “Let all who are simple(F) come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(G) she says,
5 “Come,(H) eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.(I)
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;(J)
walk in the way of insight.”(K)
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.(L)
8 Do not rebuke mockers(M) or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.(N)
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.(O)
10 The fear of the Lord(P) is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One(Q) is understanding.(R)
11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.(S)
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman;(T)
she is simple and knows nothing.(U)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,(V)
15 calling out(W) to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(X) she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!(Y)”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.(Z)

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.
