CHAP. IX.
1 The discipline, 4 and doctrine of wisedome. 13 The custome, 16 and error of folly.
1Wisedome hath builded her house: she hath hewen out her seuen pillars.
2She hath killed her beastes; she hath mingled her wine: she hath also furnished her table.2
3She hath sent forth her maidens; she cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie.
4Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she sayth to him:
5Come, eate of my bread, and drinke of the wine, which I haue mingled.
6Forsake the foolish, and liue; and goe in the way of vnderstanding.
8Reproue not a scorner, lest hee hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and hee will loue thee.8
10The feare of the Lord is the beginning of wisedome: and the knowledge of the holy is vnderstanding.10
11For by me thy dayes shall be multiplied: and the yeeres of thy life shalbe increased.11
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt beare it.
13ΒΆ A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, & knoweth nothing.13
14For she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate, in the high places of the Citie:
15To call passengers who go right on their wayes:
17Stollen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.17
18But hee knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
