Proverbs 9 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)9 2 Wisdom calleth all to her feast. 7 The scorner will not be corrected. 10 The fear of God. 13 The conditions of the harlot. 1 Wisdom hath built her [a]house, and hewn out her [b]seven pillars. 2 She hath killed her victuals, drawn her wine, and [c]prepared her table. 3 She hath sent forth her [d]maidens, and crieth upon the highest places of the city, saying, 4 Who so is [e]simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisdom, she saith, 5 Come, and eat of my [f]meat, and drink of the wine that I have drawn. 6 Forsake your way, ye foolish, and ye shall live: and walk in the way of understanding. 7 He that reproveth a scorner, purchaseth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himself a [g]blot. 8 Rebuke not a [h]scorner, lest he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give admonition 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 [i]understanding. 11 For thy days shall be multiplied by me, and the years of thy life shall be augmented. 12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for [j]thyself, and if thou be a scorner, thou alone shalt suffer. 13 ¶ A [k]foolish woman is troublesome; she is ignorant and knoweth nothing. 14 But she sitteth at the door of her house on a seat in the high places of the city, 15 To call them that pass by the way, that go right on their way, saying, 16 Who so is simple let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisdom, she saith also, 17 Stolen waters are sweet, and hid bread is pleasant. 18 But he knoweth not, that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depth of hell.
