20:009:004 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
as for him that
wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
20:009:005 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the
wine which I have
mingled.
20:009:006 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in
the way of
understanding.
20:009:007 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to
himself shame: and he
that
rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
20:009:008 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:
rebuke a wise man,
and
he will love thee.
20:009:009 Give instruction to a wise man, and he
will be yet wiser:
teach
a just man, and he will increase in learning.
20:009:010 The fear of the lord is the beginning
of wisdom: and the
knowledge
of the holy is understanding.
20:009:011 For by me thy days shall be multiplied,
and the years of thy
life
shall be increased.
20:009:012 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for
thyself: but if thou
scornest,
thou alone shalt bear it.
20:009:013 A foolish woman is clamorous: she
is simple, and knoweth
nothing.
20:009:014 For she sitteth at the door of her house,
on a seat in the
high
places of the city,
20:009:015 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
20:009:016 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
and as for him that
wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
20:009:017 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten
in secret is
pleasant.
20:009:018 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
and that her
guests
are in the depths of hell.
20:010:001 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son
maketh a glad father: but
a
foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
20:010:002 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:
but righteousness
delivereth
from death.
20:010:003 The lord will not suffer the soul
of the righteous to famish:
but
he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
20:010:004 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack
hand: but the hand
of
the diligent maketh rich.
20:010:005 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son:
but he that
sleepeth
in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
20:010:006 Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth
the
mouth of the wicked.
20:010:007 The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked
shall
rot.
20:010:008 The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating
fool
shall fall.
20:010:009 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
but he that
perverteth
his ways shall be known.
