Proverbs 9 — GMV

9 Verse 1 Wisdom has built a house for herself, ^{Verse 2} She has killed her beasts; ^{Verse 3} She has sent forth her servants, ^{Verse 4} Whoso is foolish, let him turn aside to me: ^{Verse 5} Come, eat of my bread, ^{Verse 6} Leave folly, that ye may reign forever; ^{Verse 7} He that reproves evil men shall get dishonor to himself; ^{Verse 8} Rebuke not evil men, lest they should hate thee: ^{Verse 9} Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be wiser: ^{Verse 10} The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, For to know the law is the character of a sound mind. ^{Verse 11} For in this way thou shalt live long, ^{Verse 12} Son, if thou be wise for thyself, thou shalt also be wise for thy neighbors; He that stays himself upon falsehoods, attempts to rule the winds, For he has forsaken the ways of his own vineyard, And he goes through a dry desert, ^{Verse 13} A foolish and bold woman, who knows not modesty, ^{Verse 14} She sits at the doors of her house, ^{Verse 15} Calling to passers by, ^{Verse 16} saying, ^{Verse 17} Take and enjoy secret bread, ^{Verse 18} But he knows that mighty men die by her, But hasten away, delay not in the place, For thus shalt thou go through strange water; But do thou abstain from strange water, That thou mayest live long,
