Sprüche 9 | English Standard Version

The Way of Wisdom

1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. 2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, 4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says, 5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your simple ways,* and live, and walk in the way of insight.” 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. 9 Give instruction* to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous 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 insight. 11 For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.

The Way of Folly

13 The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive* and knows nothing. 14 She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town, 15 calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, 16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks sense she says, 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 Sheol.

Louis Segond 1910
1 La sagesse a bâti sa maison, Elle a taillé ses sept colonnes. 2 Elle a égorgé ses victimes, mêlé son vin, Et dressé sa table. 3 Elle a envoyé ses servantes, elle crie Sur le sommet des hauteurs de la ville: 4 Que celui qui est stupide entre ici! Elle dit à ceux qui sont dépourvus de sens: 5 Venez, mangez de mon pain, Et buvez du vin que j'ai mêlé; 6 Quittez la stupidité, et vous vivrez, Et marchez dans la voie de l'intelligence! 7 Celui qui reprend le moqueur s'attire le dédain, Et celui qui corrige le méchant reçoit un outrage. 8 Ne reprends pas le moqueur, de crainte qu'il ne te haïsse; Reprends le sage, et il t'aimera. 9 Donne au sage, et il deviendra plus sage; Instruis le juste, et il augmentera son savoir. 10 Le commencement de la sagesse, c'est la crainte de l'Éternel; Et la science des saints, c'est l'intelligence. 11 C'est par moi que tes jours se multiplieront, Et que les années de ta vie augmenteront. 12 Si tu es sage, tu es sage pour toi; Si tu es moqueur, tu en porteras seul la peine. 13 La folie est une femme bruyante, Stupide et ne sachant rien. 14 Elle s'assied à l'entrée de sa maison, Sur un siège, dans les hauteurs de la ville, 15 Pour crier aux passants, Qui vont droit leur chemin: 16 Que celui qui est stupide entre ici! Elle dit à celui qui est dépourvu de sens: 17 Les eaux dérobées sont douces, Et le pain du mystère est agréable! 18 Et il ne sait pas que là sont les morts, Et que ses invités sont dans les vallées du séjour des morts.
