Proverbs 9
New King James Version
The Way of Wisdom
9 Wisdom has built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 She has slaughtered her meat,
She has mixed her wine,
She has also furnished her table.
3 She has sent out her maidens,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
5 “Come, eat of my bread
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.
7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still 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 One is understanding.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
The Way of Folly
13 A foolish woman is clamorous;
She is simple, and knows nothing.
14 For she sits at the door of her house,
On a seat by the highest places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their way:
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 “Stolen water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of hell.

El llamado de la sabiduría
9 La sabiduría edifica su casa, labra sus siete columnas,
2 mata sus animales, mezcla su vino
y pone su mesa.
3 Envía a sus criadas
y llama desde lo más alto de la ciudad:
4 “¡Si alguno es ingenuo, que venga acá!”.
Y a los faltos de entendimiento dice:
5 “Vengan, coman mi pan
y beban mi vino que yo he mezclado.
6 Dejen la ingenuidad y vivan; pongan sus pies en el camino
de la inteligencia”.
7 El que corrige al burlador se acarrea vergüenza,
y el que reprende al impío se acarrea afrenta.
8 No reprendas al burlador porque
te aborrecerá;
corrige al sabio y te amará.
9 Da al sabio, y será más sabio;
enseña al justo y aumentará su saber.
10 El principio de la sabiduría es el temor del SEÑOR,
y el conocimiento del Santísimo es la inteligencia.
11 Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días,
y años de vida te serán añadidos.
12 Si eres sabio, para ti lo serás; pero si eres burlador, sufrirás tú solo.
El llamado de la necedad
13 La mujer necia es alborotadora;
es libertina y no conoce la vergüenza .
14 Ella se sienta en una silla a la puerta de su casa,
en lo alto de la ciudad,
15 para llamar a los que pasan por
el camino,
a los que van directo por sus sendas:
16 “¡Si alguno es ingenuo, que venga acá!”.
Y a los faltos de entendimiento dice:
17 “Las aguas hurtadas son dulces
y el pan comido en oculto es delicioso”.
18 No saben ellos que allí están los muertos, que sus invitados están en lo profundo del Seol.
