PRO 9:1–9:18 ©

The Book of Proverbs 9

9What is wise is like a woman who has built her own spacious house

and made seven pillars to support its roof.

2What is wise is like a woman who has prepared a meal for guests.

She has prepared the meat to eat and wine to drink.

She has fully prepared her table for a meal.

3What is wise is like a woman who sends out her maids to invite her dinner guests.

What is wise is like a woman who cries out at the highest place in the city where everyone can hear her.

4She tells those who are not wise,

“Come into my house, all you naive people!

5“Come to me! Eat the food that I have prepared,

and drink the wine that I have prepared.

6Stop acting naively so that you can live for a long time.

Do what will cause you to learn what you should understand.

7If you try to teach someone who ridicules other people, that person will ridicule you.

If you correct an evil person, that person will hurt you.

8So do not correct a person who ridicules other people. If you do so, then that person will hate you.

However, if you correct a wise person, that person will love you for doing so.

9If you instruct a wise person, then that person will become even wiser.

If you teach a righteous person, then that person will learn even more.

10Reverently fearing Yahweh is necessary for being wise,

and knowing what is holy is what you should understand.

11Surely being wise will cause you to live for many days,

and it will cause you to live for many years.

12Any wise person benefits from being wise.

But anyone who ridicules other people will suffer alone for doing so.”

13Stupid women speak loudly,

act naively, and are very ignorant.

14They sit at the doors of the places where they dwell.

They sit on seats at the highest place in the city where everyone can hear them.

15They sit there in order to cry out to the people who are walking past them.

They cry out to those walking down the road, who are only concerned about where they are going.

16They tell those who are not wise,

“Come into my house, all you naive people!

17Come to me because having sex with someone to whom you are not married is as sweet as water that you have stolen.

Indeed, it is as delicious as food that you eat all by yourself.”

18But men who go to the houses of such women are not aware that those men who have gone there before have died.

They are not aware that the guests of such women are now in the deepest parts of the place where dead people are.
