Proverbs 9

The Message Bible MSG

1 Lady Wisdom has built and furnished her home; it's supported by seven hewn timbers.

2 The banquet meal is ready to be served: lamb roasted, wine poured out, table set with silver and flowers.

3 Having dismissed her serving maids, Lady Wisdom goes to town, stands in a prominent place, and invites everyone within sound of her voice:

4 "Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on? Come with me, oh come, have dinner with me!

5 I've prepared a wonderful spread - fresh-baked bread, roast lamb, carefully selected wines.

6 Leave your impoverished confusion and live! Walk up the street to a life with meaning."

7 If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you'll get slapped in the face; confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins.

8 So don't waste your time on a scoffer; all you'll get for your pains is abuse. But if you correct those who care about life, that's different - they'll love you for it!

9 Save your breath for the wise - they'll be wiser for it; tell good people what you know - they'll profit from it.

10 Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God, insight into life from knowing a Holy God.

11 It's through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens, and the years of your life ripen.

12 Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life; mock life and life will mock you. Madame Whore Calls Out, Too

13 Then there's this other woman, Madame Whore - brazen, empty-headed, frivolous.

14 She sits on the front porch of her house on Main Street,

15 And as people walk by minding their own business, calls out,

16 "Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on?

17 Steal off with me, I'll show you a good time! No one will ever know - I'll give you the time of your life."

18 But they don't know about all the skeletons in her closet, that all her guests end up in hell.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 sapientia aedificavit sibi domum excidit columnas septem

2 immolavit victimas suas miscuit vinum et proposuit mensam suam

3 misit ancillas suas ut vocarent ad arcem et ad moenia civitatis

4 si quis est parvulus veniat ad me et insipientibus locuta est

5 venite comedite panem meum et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis

6 relinquite infantiam et vivite et ambulate per vias prudentiae

7 qui erudit derisorem ipse sibi facit iniuriam et qui arguit impium generat maculam sibi

8 noli arguere derisorem ne oderit te argue sapientem et diliget te

9 da sapienti et addetur ei sapientia doce iustum et festinabit accipere

10 principium sapientiae timor Domini et scientia sanctorum prudentia

11 per me enim multiplicabuntur dies tui et addentur tibi anni vitae

12 si sapiens fueris tibimet ipsi eris si inlusor solus portabis malum

13 mulier stulta et clamosa plenaque inlecebris et nihil omnino sciens

14 sedit in foribus domus suae super sellam in excelso urbis loco

15 ut vocaret transeuntes viam et pergentes itinere suo

16 quis est parvulus declinet ad me et vecordi locuta est

17 aquae furtivae dulciores sunt et panis absconditus suavior

18 et ignoravit quod gigantes ibi sint et in profundis inferni convivae eius
