Proverbs 9:10-18

Proverbs 9:10-18

[10] The fear  is the beginning  of wisdom:  and the knowledge  of the holy  is understanding.  [11] For by me thy days  shall be multiplied,  and the years  of thy life  shall be increased.  [12] If thou be wise,  for thyself: but if thou scornest,  thou alone shalt bear  it. [13] A foolish  woman  is clamorous:  she is simple,  and  knoweth  nothing.  [14] For she sitteth  at the door  of her house,  on a seat  in the high places  of the city,  [15] To call  passengers  who go right  on their ways:  [16] Whoso is simple,  let him turn in  hither: and as for him that wanteth  understanding,  she saith  to him, [17] Stolen  waters  are sweet,  and bread  eaten in secret  is pleasant.  [18] But he knoweth  not that the dead  are there; and that her guests  are in the depths  of hell.
