Proverbs 9 (NKJV)

Proverbs 9 NO HIGHLIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS
9:1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;
9:2 She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also furnished her table.
9:3 She has sent out her maidens, She cries out from the highest places of the city,
9:4 ''Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!'' As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
9:5 ''Come, eat of my bread And drink of the wine I have mixed.
9:6 Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding.
9:7 ''He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
9:8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
9:10 ''The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
9:11 For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.
9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.''
9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing.
9:14 For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city,
9:15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way:
9:16 ''Whoever is simple, let him turn in here''; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
9:17 ''Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.''
9:18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell.
