ASV_Strong : Proverbs 9
1. Wisdom[H2454] hath builded[H1129] her house[H1004]; She hath hewn out[H2672] her seven[H7651] pillars[H5982]:
2. She hath killed[H2873] her beasts[H2874]; She hath mingled[H4537] her wine[H3196]; She hath also furnished[H6186] her table[H7979]:
3. She hath sent forth[H7971] her maidens[H5291]; She crieth[H7121] upon[H1610] the highest places[H4791] of the city[H7176]:
4. Whoso is simple[H6612], let him turn in[H5493] hither[H2638]: As for him that is void of understanding[H3820], she saith to him[H559],
5. Come[H3212], eat[H3898] ye of my bread[H3899], And drink[H8354] of the wine[H3196] which I have mingled[H4537].
6. Leave[H5800] off[H6612], ye simple ones[H2421], and live; And walk[H833] in the way[H1870] of understanding[H998].
7. He that correcteth[H3256] a scoffer[H3887] getteth[H3947] to himself reviling[H7036]; And he that reproveth[H3198] a wicked[H7563] man getteth himself a blot[H3971].
8. Reprove[H3198] not a scoffer[H3887], lest he hate[H8130] thee[H3198]: Reprove a wise man[H2450], and he will love thee[H157].
9. Give[H5414] instruction to a wise[H2450] man[H2449], and he will be yet wiser: Teach[H3045] a righteous[H6662] man[H3254], and he will increase in learning[H3948].
10. The fear[H3374] of Jehovah[H3068] is the beginning[H8462] of wisdom[H2451]; And the knowledge[H1847] of the Holy[H6918] One is understanding[H998].
11. For by me thy days[H3117] shall be multiplied[H7235], And the years[H8141] of thy life[H2416] shall be increased[H3254].
12. If thou art wise[H2449], thou art wise[H2449] for thyself[H3887]; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it[H5375].
13. The foolish[H3687] woman[H802] is clamorous[H1993]; She is simple[H6615], and[H1077] knoweth[H3045] nothing[H4100].
14. And she sitteth[H3427] at the door[H6607] of her house[H1004], On a seat[H3678] in the high places[H4791] of the city[H7176],
15. To call[H7121] to them that pass[H5674] by[H3474], Who go right on their ways[H734]:
16. Whoso is simple[H6612], let him turn in[H5493] hither[H2638]; And as for him that is void of understanding[H3820], she saith to him[H559],
17. Stolen[H1589] waters[H4325] are sweet[H4985], And bread[H3899] eaten in secret[H5643] is pleasant[H5276].
18. But he knoweth[H3045] not that the dead[H7496] are there[H7121]; That her guests are in the depths[H6012] of Sheol[H7585].
