9Verse 1Wisedome hath built her house, and hewen out her seuen pillars.^{Verse 2}She hath killed her vitailes, drawen her wine, and prepared her table.^{Verse 3}She hath sent forth her maydens and cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie, saying,^{Verse 4}Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, she sayth,^{Verse 5}Come, and eate of my meate, and drinke of the wine that I haue drawen.^{Verse 6}Forsake your way, ye foolish, and ye shall liue: and walke in the way of vnderstanding.^{Verse 7}He that reproueth a scorner, purchaseth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himselfe a blot.^{Verse 8}Rebuke not a scorner, least he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will loue thee.^{Verse 9}Giue admonition to the wise, and he will be the wiser: teache a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.^{Verse 10}The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord, and the knowledge of holy things, is vnderstanding.^{Verse 11}For thy dayes shalbe multiplied by me, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe augmented.^{Verse 12}If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe, and if thou be a scorner, thou alone shalt suffer.^{Verse 13}A foolish woman is troublesome: she is ignorant, and knoweth nothing.^{Verse 14}But she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate in the hie places of the citie,^{Verse 15}To call them that passe by the way, that go right on their way, saying,^{Verse 16}Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, shee sayth also,^{Verse 17}Stollen waters are sweete, and hid bread is pleasant.^{Verse 18}But he knoweth not, that ye dead are there, and that her ghestes are in the depth of hell.
