Proverbia 9
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
9 Sapientia aedificavit sibi domum: excidit columnas septem.
2 Immolavit victimas suas, miscuit vinum, et proposuit mensam suam.
3 Misit ancillas suas ut vocarent ad arcem et ad moenia civitatis.
4 Si quis est parvulus, veniat ad me. Et insipientibus locuta est:
5 Venite, comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis.
6 Relinquite infantiam, et vivite, et ambulate per vias prudentiae.
7 Qui erudit derisorem, ipse injuriam sibi facit, et qui arguit impium, sibi maculam generat.
8 Noli arguere derisorem, ne oderit te: argue sapientem, et diliget te.
9 Da sapienti occasionem, et addetur ei sapientia; doce justum, et festinabit accipere.
10 Principium sapientiae timor Domini, et scientia sanctorum prudentia.
11 Per me enim multiplicabuntur dies tui, et addentur tibi anni vitae.
12 Si sapiens fueris, tibimetipsi eris; si autem illusor, solus portabis malum.
13 Mulier stulta et clamosa, plenaque illecebris, et nihil omnino sciens,
14 sedit in foribus domus suae, super sellam in excelso urbis loco,
15 ut vocaret transeuntes per viam, et pergentes itinere suo:
16 Qui est parvulus declinet ad me. Et vecordi locuta est:
17 Aquae furtivae dulciores sunt, et panis absconditus suavior.
18 Et ignoravit quod ibi sint gigantes, et in profundis inferni convivae ejus.

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly
9 Wisdom has built(A) her house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;(B)
she has also set her table.(C)
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls(D)
from the highest point of the city,(E)
4 “Let all who are simple(F) come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(G) she says,
5 “Come,(H) eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.(I)
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;(J)
walk in the way of insight.”(K)
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.(L)
8 Do not rebuke mockers(M) or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.(N)
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.(O)
10 The fear of the Lord(P) is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One(Q) is understanding.(R)
11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.(S)
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman;(T)
she is simple and knows nothing.(U)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,(V)
15 calling out(W) to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(X) she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!(Y)”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.(Z)
