Proverbs 9 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Wisdom has built her house;she has hewn her seven pillars.
2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town,
4 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks sense she says,
5 "Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight."
7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
13 The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way,
16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 "Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
18 But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

8 Reprove H3198 not H408 a scorner, H3887 lest H6435 he hate H8130 thee: rebuke H3198 a wise man, H2450 and he will love H157 thee.
9 Give H5414 instruction to a wise H2450 man , and he will be yet H5750 wiser: H2449 teach H3045 a just H6662 man , and he will increase H3254 in learning. H3948
10 The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 is the beginning H8462 of wisdom: H2451 and the knowledge H1847 of the holy H6918 is understanding. H998
11 For H3588 by me thy days H3117 shall be multiplied, H7235 and the years H8141 of thy life H2416 shall be increased. H3254
12 If H518 thou be wise, H2449 thou shalt be wise H2449 for thyself : but if thou scornest, H3887 thou alone H905 shalt bear H5375 it .
