Proverbios 9
Reina-Valera Antigua
9 LA sabiduría edificó su casa, Labró sus siete columnas;
2 Mató sus víctimas, templó su vino, Y puso su mesa.
3 Envió sus criadas; Sobre lo más alto de la ciudad clamó:
4 Cualquiera simple, venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
5 Venid, comed mi pan, Y bebed del vino que yo he templado.
6 Dejad las simplezas, y vivid; Y andad por el camino de la inteligencia.
7 El que corrige al escarnecedor, afrenta se acarrea: El que reprende al impío, se atrae mancha.
8 No reprendas al escarnecedor, porque no te aborrezca: Corrige al sabio, y te amará.
9 Da al sabio, y será más sabio: Enseña al justo, y acrecerá su saber.
10 El temor de Jehová es el principio de la sabiduría; Y la ciencia de los santos es inteligencia.
11 Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días, Y años de vida se te añadirán.
12 Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás: Mas si fueres escarnecedor, pagarás tú solo.
13 La mujer loca es alborotadora; Es simple é ignorante.
14 Siéntase en una silla á la puerta de su casa, En lo alto de la ciudad,
15 Para llamar á los que pasan por el camino, Que van por sus caminos derechos.
16 Cualquiera simple, dice, venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
17 Las aguas hurtadas son dulces, Y el pan comido en oculto es suave.
18 Y no saben que allí están los muertos; Que sus convidados están en los profundos de la sepultura.
Proverbs 9
New King James Version
The Way of Wisdom
9 Wisdom has (A)built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 (B)She has slaughtered her meat,
(C)She has mixed her wine,
She has also [a]furnished her table.
3 She has sent out her maidens,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 “Whoever(D) is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
5 “Come,(E) eat of my bread
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.
7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 (F)Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
(G)Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, (H)and he will increase in learning.
10 “The(I) fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 (J)For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
12 (K)If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
The Way of Folly
13 (L)A foolish woman is [b]clamorous;
She is simple, and knows nothing.
14 For she sits at the door of her house,
On a seat (M)by the highest places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their way:
16 “Whoever(N) is [c]simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 “Stolen(O) water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that (P)the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of [d]hell.
