La Bible du Semeur

1 La Sagesse a bâti une maison, et elle en a taillé ╵les sept colonnes. 2 Elle a apprêté une bête ╵et elle a préparé son vin[1]. Déjà, elle a dressé sa table. (Is 5:22) 3 Elle a envoyé ses servantes ╵pour lancer ses invitations, elle appelle du haut des lieux ╵les plus élevés de la ville: 4 « Approchez donc, ╵vous qui n’avez pas d’expérience! » A ceux qui manquent de bon sens, ╵elle déclare: 5 « Venez et mangez de mon pain et buvez du vin que j’ai préparé. 6 Vous qui êtes inexpérimentés ╵détournez-vous de ce chemin ╵et vous vivrez[2]. Dirigez-vous ╵sur la voie de l’intelligence. 7 Corriger un moqueur, ╵c’est s’attirer la confusion et reprendre un méchant, ╵s’attirer un affront. 8 Ne reprends donc pas le moqueur, ╵car il te haïra; si tu reprends un sage, ╵il t’en aimera davantage. 9 Oui, donne des conseils au sage, ╵et il sera plus sage encore. Instruis le juste, ╵il enrichira son savoir. 10 La sagesse commence ╵par la crainte de l’Eternel[3], et la science des saints[4], ╵c’est le discernement. (Pr 1:7) 11 Grâce à moi, la Sagesse, ╵tes jours seront multipliés et des années ╵seront ajoutées à ta vie[5]. (Pr 3:18) 12 Si tu es sage, ╵c’est toi qui en profiteras, mais si tu es moqueur, ╵tu en supporteras ╵toi seul les conséquences. » 13 Dame Folie est bien bruyante, elle est sans expérience, ╵elle n’y connaît rien[6]. 14 Elle s’assied ╵à la porte de sa maison, elle place son siège ╵aux points les plus élevés de la ville, 15 pour interpeller les passants qui vont droit leur chemin. 16 « Approchez donc, ╵vous qui n’avez pas d’expérience! » A ceux qui manquent de bon sens, ╵elle déclare: 17 « Les eaux dérobées sont plus douces, et le pain mangé en secret ╵est savoureux. » 18 Mais ils ne savent pas ╵que chez elle se rassemblent les morts et que ses invités ╵sont déjà au séjour des morts.

Proverbes 9

English Standard Version

de Crossway
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. (Mt 16:18; 1Tm 3:15; 1P 2:5; Ap 1:4) 2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table. (Ps 23:5; Pr 23:30; Ct 8:2; Mt 22:4; Lc 14:17) 3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, (Ps 68:11; Pr 8:1; Pr 8:2; Pr 9:14; Mt 10:27; Mt 22:3; Mt 23:34) 4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says, (Pr 6:32; Pr 9:16; Mt 11:25; 1Co 1:26) 5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. (Pr 2:1; Ct 5:1; Is 55:1; Jn 6:27; Jn 7:37) 6 Leave your simple ways,[1] and live, and walk in the way of insight.” (Pr 1:4; Pr 23:19; Pr 31:11) 7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. (Ps 141:5; Mt 7:6) 9 Give instruction[2] to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. (Pr 1:5; Mt 13:12) 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. (Pr 1:7; Pr 30:3) 11 For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. (Pr 3:2; Pr 10:27) 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it. (Jb 22:2; Jb 22:3; 1Co 3:8; Ga 6:5) 13 The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive[3] and knows nothing. (Pr 5:6; Pr 7:7; Pr 7:11) 14 She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town, (Pr 9:3) 15 calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, (Pr 31:6) 16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks sense she says, (Pr 9:4) 17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” (Pr 5:15; Pr 20:17; Pr 30:20) 18 But he does not know that the dead[4] are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. (Pr 7:27)
