Proverbs Chapter 9
Wisdom invites all to her feast. Folly calls another way.
9:1. Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
9:2. She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
9:3. She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
9:4. Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
9:5. Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
9:6. Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
9:7. He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself; and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
9:8. Rebuke not a scorner, lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
