Proverbs 9

1 The discipline, 4 and doctrine of wisdom. 13 The custom, 16 and error of folly.

 9:1 ¶ Wisdom 2454 hath builded 1129 z8804 her house, 1004 she hath hewn out 2672 z8804 her seven 7651 pillars: 5982

 9:2 She hath killed 2873 z8804 her beasts; 2874 she hath mingled 4537 z8804 her wine; 3196 she hath also x637 furnished 6186 z8804 her table. 7979

 9:3 She hath sent forth 7971 z8804 her maidens: 5291 she crieth 7121 z8799 upon y1610 x5921 the highest places 4791 x1610 of the city, 7176

 9:4 Whoso x4310 [is] simple, 6612 let him turn x5493 in y5493 z8799 hither: x2008 [as for] him that wanteth 2638 understanding, 3820 she saith 559 z8804 to him,

 9:5 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 eat 3898 z8798 of my bread, 3899 and drink 8354 z8798 of the wine 3196 [which] I have mingled. 4537 z8804

 9:6 Forsake 5800 z8798 the foolish, 6612 and live; 2421 z8798 and go 833 z8798 in the way 1870 of understanding. 998

 9:7 He that reproveth 3256 z8802 a scorner 3887 z8801 getteth 3947 z8802 to himself shame: 7036 and he that rebuketh 3198 z8688 a wicked 7563 [man getteth] himself a blot. 3971

 9:8 Reprove 3198 z8686 not x408 a scorner, 3887 z8801 lest x6435 he hate 8130 z8799 thee: rebuke 3198 z8685 a wise man, 2450 and he will love 157 z8799 thee.

 9:9 Give 5414 z8798 [instruction] to a wise 2450 [man], and he will be yet x5750 wiser: 2449 z8799 teach 3045 z8685 a just 6662 [man], and he will increase 3254 z8686 in learning. 3948

 9:10 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 [is] the beginning 8462 of wisdom: 2451 and the knowledge 1847 of the holy 6918 [is] understanding. 998

 9:11 For x3588 by me thy days 3117 shall be multiplied, 7235 z8799 and the years 8141 of thy life 2416 shall be increased. 3254 z8686

 9:12 If x518 thou be wise, 2449 z8804 thou shalt be wise 2449 z8804 for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, 3887 z8804 thou alone x905 shalt bear 5375 z8799 [it].

 9:13 ¶ A foolish 3687 woman 802 [is] clamorous: 1993 z8802 [she is] simple, 6615 and y1077 knoweth 3045 z8804 nothing. 4100 x1077

 9:14 For she sitteth 3427 z8804 at the door 6607 of her house, 1004 on x5921 a seat 3678 in the high places 4791 of the city, 7176

 9:15 To call 7121 z8800 passengers 5674 1870 z8802 who go right 3474 z8764 on their ways: 734

 9:16 Whoso x4310 [is] simple, 6612 let him turn x5493 in y5493 z8799 hither: x2008 and [as for] him that wanteth 2638 understanding, 3820 she saith 559 z8804 to him,

 9:17 Stolen 1589 z8803 waters 4325 are sweet, 4985 z8799 and bread 3899 [eaten] in secret 5643 is pleasant. 5276 z8799

 9:18 But he knoweth 3045 z8804 not x3808 that x3588 the dead 7496 [are] there; x8033 [and that] her guests 7121 z8803 [are] in the depths y6012 x6011 of hell. 7585
