Provérbios 9:16 Meaning and Commentary

She uses the same form of words that Wisdom does, ( Proverbs 9:4 ) ; having a form of godliness, a show of religion, but without the power of it; her priests are wolves in sheep's clothing, and speak lies in hypocrisy: and such that she fixes upon as proper persons to work on are the simple, the credulous and unwary; who are not on their guard, and are easily persuaded and imposed on;

and [as for] him that wanteth understanding;

addresses him in such language as follows:

Provérbios 9:16 In-Context

14 Senta-se � porta da sua casa ou numa cadeira, nas alturas da cidade,

15 chamando aos que passam e seguem direitos o seu caminho:

16 Quem é simples, volte-se para cá! E aos faltos de entendimento diz:

17 As águas roubadas são doces, e o pão comido �s ocultas é agradável.

18 Mas ele não sabe que ali estão os mortos; que os seus convidados estão nas profundezas do Seol.
