Wisdom Hosts a Banquet
9 Wisdom has built her house.
She has carved out her seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat.
She has mixed her wine.
She has set her table.
3 She has sent out her servant girls.
She calls from the highest places in the city,
4 “Whoever is gullible turn in here!”
She says to a person without sense,
5 “Come, eat my bread,
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Stop being gullible and live.
Start traveling the road to understanding.”
Wisdom Prolongs Life
7 Whoever corrects a mocker receives abuse.
Whoever warns a wicked person gets hurt.
8 Do not warn a mocker, or he will hate you.
Warn a wise person, and he will love you.
9 Give ⌞advice⌟ to a wise person,
and he will become even wiser.
Teach a righteous person,
and he will learn more.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 You will live longer because of me,
and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will help you.
If you mock, you alone will be held responsible.
Stupidity Imitates Wisdom’s Banquet
13 The woman Stupidity is loud, gullible, and ignorant.
14 She sits at the doorway of her house.
She is enthroned on the high ground of the city
15 and calls to those who pass by,
those minding their own business,
16 “Whoever is gullible turn in here!”
She says to a person without sense,
17 “Stolen waters are sweet,
and food eaten in secret is tasty.”
18 But he does not know
that the souls of the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of hell.

The Way of Wisdom
9 (A)Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn her (B)seven (C)pillars.
2 She has (D)slaughtered her beasts; she has (E)mixed her wine;
she has also (F)set her table.
3 She has (G)sent out her young women to (H)call
from (I)the highest places in the town,
4 (J)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
(K)To him who lacks sense she says,
5 “Come, (L)eat of my bread
and (M)drink of (N)the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave (O)your simple ways,[a] and (P)live,
(Q)and walk in the way of insight.”
7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 (R)Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
(S)reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction[b] to a wise man, and he will be (T)still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will (U)increase in learning.
10 (V)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and (W)the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me (X)your days will be multiplied,
and years will be added to your life.
12 (Y)If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
The Way of Folly
13 (Z)The woman Folly is (AA)loud;
she is seductive[c] and (AB)knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on (AC)the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are (AD)going straight on their way,
16 (AE)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 (AF)“Stolen water is sweet,
and (AG)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know (AH)that the dead[d] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

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.

La Sabiduría y la mujer insensata
9 La sabiduría edificó su casa,
Labró sus siete columnas.
2 Mató sus víctimas, mezcló su vino,
Y puso su mesa.
3 Envió sus criadas;
Sobre lo más alto de la ciudad clamó.
4 Dice a cualquier simple: Ven acá.
A los faltos de cordura dice:
5 Venid, comed mi pan,
Y bebed del vino que yo he mezclado.
6 Dejad las simplezas, y vivid,
Y andad por el camino de la inteligencia.
7 El que corrige al escarnecedor, se acarrea afrenta;
El que reprende al impío, se atrae mancha.
8 No reprendas al escarnecedor, para que no te aborrezca;
Corrige al sabio, y te amará.
9 Da al sabio, y será más sabio;
Enseña al justo, y aumentará su saber.
10 El temor de Jehová es el principio de la sabiduría,(A)
Y el conocimiento del Santísimo es la inteligencia.
11 Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días,
Y años de vida se te añadirán.
12 Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás;
Y si fueres escarnecedor, pagarás tú solo.
13 La mujer insensata es alborotadora;
Es simple e ignorante.
14 Se sienta en una silla a la puerta de su casa,
En los lugares altos de la ciudad,
15 Para llamar a los que pasan por el camino,
Que van por sus caminos derechos.
16 Dice a cualquier simple: Ven acá.
A los faltos de cordura dijo:
17 Las aguas hurtadas son dulces,
Y el pan comido en oculto es sabroso.
18 Y no saben que allí están los muertos;
Que sus convidados están en lo profundo del Seol.

Притчи 9
Russian Synodal Version
9 Премудрость построила себе дом, вытесала семь столбов его,
2 заколола жертву, растворила вино свое и приготовила у себя трапезу;
3 послала слуг своих провозгласить с возвышенностей городских:
4 'кто неразумен, обратись сюда!' И скудоумному она сказала:
5 'идите, ешьте хлеб мой и пейте вино, мною растворенное;
6 оставьте неразумие, и живите, и ходите путем разума'.
7 Поучающий кощунника наживет себе бесславие, и обличающий нечестивого--пятно себе.
8 Не обличай кощунника, чтобы он не возненавидел тебя; обличай мудрого, и он возлюбит тебя;
9 дай [наставление] мудрому, и он будет еще мудрее; научи правдивого, и он приумножит знание.
10 Начало мудрости--страх Господень, и познание Святаго--разум;
11 потому что чрез меня умножатся дни твои, и прибавится тебе лет жизни.
12 если ты мудр, то мудр для себя; и если буен, то один потерпишь.
13 Женщина безрассудная, шумливая, глупая и ничего не знающая
14 садится у дверей дома своего на стуле, на возвышенных местах города,
15 чтобы звать проходящих дорогою, идущих прямо своими путями:
16 'кто глуп, обратись сюда!' и скудоумному сказала она:
17 'воды краденые сладки, и утаенный хлеб приятен'.
18 И он не знает, что мертвецы там, и что в глубине преисподней зазванные ею.
