[9:10] The beginning of Wisdom is the fear of Jehovah, and the knowledge of the Holy ones is understanding.
Proverbs 9
Wisdom has built her house; she has carved her pillars seven. She has slaughtered her slaughter she has mixed her wine; also she has set her table. She has sent out her maidens; she calls on the tops of heights the city’s; Who (is) simple, turn aside here; one heart, lacking she says to him, come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine I have mixed. Forsake the simple and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
One rebuking a scorner takes for shame; himself and one reproving a wicked man his own blemish. Not do reprove a scorner, lest he hate you; reprove a wise one, and he will love you. Give to a wise one, and he will be wise more; teach a just man and he will add (to) learning.
The beginning of wisdom (is) the fear of Jehovah, and the knowledge of the Holy Ones (is) understanding. For by me shall increase your days; and shall be added to you the years of life.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; and if you scorn, you alone shall bear (it). A woman of foolishness (is) making noise; simple and not she knows what. And she sits at the door of her house, on a seat (in) the heights of the city, to call to those passing in the way, those going straight (on) their paths; Who (is) simple, turn aside here! And one lacking heart she says to him; waters stolen are sweet, and bread (in) secret is pleasant. But not he does know that the dead (are) there, in the depths of Sheol (are) her guests.
