Proverbs 9:1-9 ▼

1 Wysdome hath buylded herself an house, and hewen out seuen pilers:

2 she hath slaughted, poured out hir wyne, and prepared hir table.

3 She hath sent forth hir maydens to crie vpo the hyest place of the cite:

4 Who so is ignoraut, let him come hither. And to the vn wise she sayde:

5 O come on youre waye, eate my bred, and drynke my wyne, which I haue poured out for you.

6 Forsake ignorauce, and ye shal lyue: and se that ye go in the waye of vnderstondinge.

7 Who so reproueth a scornefull personne, getteth him self dishonoure: and he that rebuketh the vngodly, stayneth himself.

8 Reproue not a scorner, lest he owe the euell wil: but rebuke a wyse man, and he wil loue the.

9 Geue a discrete man but an occasion, & he wilbe the wyser: teach a rightuous man, and he wil increase.
