Proverbi 9:1-12

Listen to Proverbi 9:1-12
1 LA somma Sapienza ha edificata la sua casa, Ella ha tagliate le sue colonne in numero di sette;
2 Ella ha ammazzati i suoi animali, ha temperato il suo vino. Ed anche ha apparecchiata la sua mensa.
3 Ella ha mandate le sue serventi a gridare D’in su i poggiuoli degli alti luoghi della città:
4 Chi è scempio? riducasi qua. E a dire a quelli che sono scemi di senno:
5 Venite, mangiate del mio pane, E bevete del vino che io ho temperato.
6 Lasciate le scempietà, e voi viverete; E camminate per la via della prudenza.
7 Chi corregge lo schernitore ne riceve vituperio; E chi riprende l’empio ne riceve macchia.
8 Non riprender lo schernitore, Che talora egli non ti odii; Riprendi il savio, ed egli ti amerà.
9 Insegna al savio, ed egli diventerà più savio; Ammaestra il giusto, ed egli crescerà in dottrina.
10 Il principio della sapienza è il timor del Signore; E la scienza de’ santi è la prudenza.
11 Perciocchè per me ti saranno moltiplicati i giorni, E ti saranno aggiunti anni di vita.
12 Se sei savio, sarai savio per te; Se altresì sei schernitore, tu solo ne porterai la pena.
