9:1
sapientia aedificavit sibi domum excidit columnas septem

9:2
immolavit victimas suas miscuit vinum et proposuit mensamsuam

9:3
misit ancillas suas ut vocarent ad arcem et ad moeniacivitatis

9:4
si quis est parvulus veniat ad me et insipientibus locutaest

9:5
venite comedite panem meum et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis

9:6
relinquite infantiam et vivite et ambulate per viasprudentiae

9:7

9:13
mulier stulta et clamosa plenaque inlecebris et nihilomnino sciens

9:14
sedit in foribus domus suae super sellam in excelso urbisloco

9:15
ut vocaret transeuntes viam et pergentes itinere suo

009:001
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

009:002
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

009:003
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

009:004
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

009:005
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

009:006
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

009:007
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

009:008
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

009:009
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

009:010
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

009:011
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

009:012
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

009:013
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

009:014
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

009:015
To call passengers who go right on their ways:

009:016
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

009:017
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

009:018
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
