Proverbios 9:1-12

Listen to Proverbios 9:1-12

Invitación de la sabiduría y de la necedad

1 La sabiduría construyó su casay labró sus siete pilares.
2 Preparó un banquete, mezcló su vinoy tendió la mesa.
3 Envió a sus doncellas, y ahora clamadesde lo más alto de la ciudad.
4 «¡Vengan conmigo los inexpertos!—dice a los faltos de juicio—.
5 Vengan, disfruten de mi pany beban del vino que he mezclado.
6 Dejen su insensatez, y vivirán;andarán por el camino del discernimiento.
7 »El que corrige al burlón se gana que lo insulten;el que reprende al malvado se gana su desprecio.
8 No reprendas al insolente, no sea que acabe por odiarte;reprende al sabio, y te amará.
9 Instruye al sabio, y se hará más sabio;enseña al justo, y aumentará su saber.
10 »El comienzo de la sabiduría es el temor del SEÑOR;conocer al Santo[a] es tener discernimiento.
11 Por mí aumentarán tus días;muchos años de vida te serán añadidos.
12 Si eres sabio, tu premio será tu sabiduría;si eres insolente, solo tú lo sufrirás».
