Proverbele 9
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Strigarea prietenoasă a înţelepciunii
9 Înţelepciunea şi-a zidit(A) casa
şi-a tăiat cei şapte stâlpi.
2 Şi-a junghiat(B) vitele, şi-a amestecat(C) vinul,
şi-a pus masa.
3 Şi-a trimis(D) slujnicele şi(E) strigă
de pe(F) vârful înălţimilor cetăţii:
4 „Cine(G) este prost să vină încoace!”
Celor lipsiţi de pricepere le zice:
5 „Veniţi(H) de mâncaţi din pâinea mea
şi beţi din vinul pe care l-am amestecat!
6 Lăsaţi prostia, şi veţi trăi
şi umblaţi pe calea priceperii!”
7 Cel ce mustră pe un batjocoritor îşi trage dispreţ
şi cel ce caută să îndrepte pe cel rău se alege cu ocara.
8 Nu(I) mustra pe cel batjocoritor, ca să nu te urască;
mustră(J) pe cel înţelept, şi el te va iubi!
9 Dă înţeleptului, şi se va face şi mai înţelept;
învaţă pe cel neprihănit, şi(K) va învăţa şi mai mult!
10 Începutul(L) înţelepciunii este frica de Domnul
şi ştiinţa sfinţilor este priceperea.
11 Prin(M) mine ţi se vor înmulţi zilele
şi ţi se vor mări anii vieţii tale.
12 Dacă(N) eşti înţelept, pentru tine eşti înţelept;
dacă eşti batjocoritor, tu singur vei suferi.
Îndemn împotriva ademenirii nebuniei
13 Nebunia este o femeie(O) gălăgioasă,
proastă şi care nu ştie nimic.
14 Ea şade totuşi la uşa casei sale,
pe un scaun, pe înălţimile(P) cetăţii,
15 ca să strige la trecătorii
care merg pe calea cea dreaptă:
16 „Cine(Q) este prost să vină aici!”
Iar celui fără minte îi zice:
17 „Apele furate sunt dulci(R)
şi pâinea luată pe ascuns este plăcută!”
18 El nu ştie că acolo sunt morţii(S)
şi că oaspeţii ei sunt în văile Locuinţei morţilor.

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly
9 Wisdom has built(A) her house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;(B)
she has also set her table.(C)
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls(D)
from the highest point of the city,(E)
4 “Let all who are simple(F) come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(G) she says,
5 “Come,(H) eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.(I)
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;(J)
walk in the way of insight.”(K)
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.(L)
8 Do not rebuke mockers(M) or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.(N)
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.(O)
10 The fear of the Lord(P) is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One(Q) is understanding.(R)
11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.(S)
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman;(T)
she is simple and knows nothing.(U)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,(V)
15 calling out(W) to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(X) she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!(Y)”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.(Z)

The Way of Wisdom
9 (A)Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn her (B)seven (C)pillars.
2 She has (D)slaughtered her beasts; she has (E)mixed her wine;
she has also (F)set her table.
3 She has (G)sent out her young women to (H)call
from (I)the highest places in the town,
4 (J)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
(K)To him who lacks sense she says,
5 “Come, (L)eat of my bread
and (M)drink of (N)the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave (O)your simple ways,[a] and (P)live,
(Q)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 (R)Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
(S)reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction[b] to a wise man, and he will be (T)still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will (U)increase in learning.
10 (V)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and (W)the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me (X)your days will be multiplied,
and years will be added to your life.
12 (Y)If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
The Way of Folly
13 (Z)The woman Folly is (AA)loud;
she is seductive[c] and (AB)knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on (AC)the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are (AD)going straight on their way,
16 (AE)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 (AF)“Stolen water is sweet,
and (AG)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know (AH)that the dead[d] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
