And to the unwise she said: 5Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you. 6Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence. 7He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself; and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot. 8Rebuke not a scorner, lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it. 10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence. 11For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee. 12If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil. 13A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all, 14Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city, 15To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey: 16He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said: 17Stolen waters are sweeter, and hidden bread is more pleasant. 18And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. ‹Previous chapterProverbs 8Next chapterProverbs 10›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsProverbs 9 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
