Chapter 9

1


 

  Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.  

 

 

--

2


 

  She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.  

 

 

--

3


 

  She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:  

 

 

--

4


 

  Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:  

 

 

--

5


 

  Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.  

 

 

--

7


 

  He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.  

 

 

--

11


 

  For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.  

 

 

--

12


 

  If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.  

 

 

--

13


 

  A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,  

 

 

--

14


 

  Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,  

 

 

--

15


 

  To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:  

 

 

--

16


 

  He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:  

 

 

--

17


 

  Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.  

 

 

--

18


 

  And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. The Parables of Solomon
