Tuesday in Season after Pentecost

Text not available in the Berean Standard Bible.

1Verse 1. Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars. 2Verse 2. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3Verse 3. She has sent out her maidservants; she calls out from the heights of the city. 4Verse 4. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment. 5Verse 5. “Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed. 6Verse 6. Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.” 7Verse 7. He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself. 8Verse 8. Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9Verse 9. Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. 10Verse 10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11Verse 11. For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. 12Verse 12. If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage; but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences. 13Verse 13. The woman named Folly is loud; she is naive and knows nothing. 14Verse 14. She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the heights of the city, 15Verse 15. calling out to those who pass by, who make their paths straight. 16Verse 16. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment. 17Verse 17. “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is tasty!” 18Verse 18. But they do not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
