Proverbs 9
Lexham English Bible
Wisdom’s Banquet
9 Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn her seven pillars.
2 She has slaughtered her slaughtering, mixed her wine,
and also set her table.
3 She has sent her servant girls,[a] she calls
upon the wings of the high places of town,
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn here.”
As for the one who lacks sense,[b] she says to him,
5 “Come, eat with my bread;
drink with the wine I have mixed.
6 Lay aside simplicity and live;
walk in the way of understanding.”
7 He who corrects a scoffer gains abuse for himself,
and he who rebukes the wicked gets hurt.[c]
8 Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you;
rebuke the wise and he will love you.
9 Give to a wise one and he will become more wise;
teach[d] a righteous one and he will increase learning.
Foolishness’ Banquet
10 The start of wisdom is fear of Yahweh,
and knowledge of the Holy One,[e] insight.
11 For by me your days shall increase,
and years of life shall multiply for you.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
and if you scoff, alone you shall bear it.
13 A woman of foolishness is loud,
simple, and does not know it.[f]
14 She sits at the door of her house,
upon a throne at the high places of town,
15 in order to call to those who pass by the road,
those who go straight on their way:
16 “Whoever is simple, may he turn here!”
As for he who lacks sense,[g] she says to him,
17 “Stolen waters are sweet,
and bread of secrecy is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the dead[h] are there,
in the depths of Sheol[i] are her guests.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
9 Itinayo ng karunungan ang kaniyang bahay, kaniyang tinabas ang kaniyang pitong haligi:
2 Pinatay niya ang kaniyang mga hayop: hinaluan niya ang kaniyang alak; kaniya namang ginayakan ang kaniyang dulang.
3 Kaniya namang sinugo ang kaniyang mga alilang babae; siya'y sumisigaw sa mga pinakapantas na dako sa bayan:
4 Kung sinoma'y musmos, pumasok dito: tungkol sa kaniya na mapurol sa pagunawa, sinasabi niya sa kaniya:
5 Kayo'y magsiparito, magsikain kayo ng aking tinapay, at magsiinom kayo ng alak na aking hinaluan.
6 Iwan ninyo, ninyong mga musmos at kayo'y mabuhay; at kayo'y magsilakad sa daan ng kaunawaan.
7 Siyang sumasaway sa manglilibak ay nagtataglay ng kahihiyan sa kaniyang sarili: at siyang sumasaway sa masama ay nagtataglay ng pula sa kaniyang sarili.
8 Huwag mong sawayin ang manglilibak, baka ipagtanim ka niya: sawayin mo ang pantas, at kaniyang iibigin ka.
9 Turuan mo ang pantas, at siya'y magiging lalong pantas pa: iyong turuan ang matuwid, at siya'y lalago sa pagkatuto.
10 Ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon ay pasimula ng karunungan: at ang pagkakilala sa Banal ay kaunawaan.
11 Sapagka't sa pamamagitan ko ay dadami ang iyong mga kaarawan, at ang mga taon ng iyong buhay ay magsisidami.
12 Kung ikaw ay pantas, ikaw ay pantas sa ganang iyong sarili: at kung ikaw ay manglilibak, ikaw na magisa ang magpapasan.
13 Ang hangal na babae ay madaldal; siya'y musmos at walang nalalaman.
14 At siya'y nauupo sa pintuan ng kaniyang bahay, sa isang upuan sa mga mataas na dako sa bayan,
15 Upang tawagin ang nangagdadaan, na nagsisiyaong matuwid ng kanilang mga lakad:
16 Sinomang musmos ay pumasok dito: at tungkol sa kaniya na mapurol sa pagunawa, sinasabi niya sa kaniya:
17 Ang mga nakaw na tubig ay matamis, at ang tinapay na kinakain sa lihim ay masarap.
18 Nguni't hindi niya nalalaman na ang patay ay nandoon; na ang mga panauhin niya ay nangasa mga kalaliman ng Sheol.
Proverbs 9
King James Version
9 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
