Proverbs 9

<< Proverbs 9 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

1 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
