Proverbs Chapter 9 • Daily Reading by Pastor Chopper Ward


Proverbs 9
King James Version

The Way of Wisdom

1
Wisdom hath builded her house,
she hath hewn out her seven pillars:​
2 She hath killed her beasts;
she hath mingled her wine;
she hath also furnished her table.​
3 She hath sent forth her maidens:
she crieth upon the highest places of the city,​
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,​
5 Come, eat of my bread,
and drink of the wine which I have mingled.​
6 Forsake the foolish, and live;
and go in the way of understanding.​

7
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame:
and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.​
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:
rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.​
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:
teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.​

10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.​
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied,
and the years of thy life shall be increased.​
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:
but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.​

The Way of Folly

13
A foolish woman is clamorous:
she is simple, and knoweth nothing.​
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house,
on a seat in the high places of the city,​
15 To call passengers
who go right on their ways:​
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,​
17 Stolen waters are sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.​
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
