18 Babah 1742
Proverbs 9 : 1 - 11
| 1 | Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars; |
| 2 | She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also furnished her table. |
| 3 | She has sent out her maidens, She cries out from the highest places of the city, |
| 4 | "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, |
| 5 | "Come, eat of my bread And drink of the wine I have mixed. |
| 6 | Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding. |
| 7 | "He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. |
| 8 | Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. |
| 9 | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. |
| 10 | "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. |
| 11 | For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you. |
