Daily ProverbProverbs 9:1-9:1Current translation:World English Bible(WEB)
9:2 She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table. 9:3 She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city: 9:4 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 9:5 "Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed! 9:6 Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding." 9:7 He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse. 9:8 Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 9:9 Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. 9:10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 9:11 For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased. 9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it. 9:13 The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing. 9:14 She sits at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city, 9:15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their ways, 9:16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 9:17 "Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant." 9:18 But he doesn't know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of Sheol. Also check out the Daily Reading & Daily Psalm!
