Proverbs 9
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
1[Sapientia ædificavit sibi domum: excidit columnas septem.
2She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
2Immolavit victimas suas, miscuit vinum, et proposuit mensam suam.
3She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
3Misit ancillas suas ut vocarent ad arcem et ad mœnia civitatis.
4Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
4Si quis est parvulus, veniat ad me. Et insipientibus locuta est:
5Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
5Venite, comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis.
6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
6Relinquite infantiam, et vivite, et ambulate per vias prudentiæ.]
7He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
7[Qui erudit derisorem, ipse injuriam sibi facit, et qui arguit impium, sibi maculam generat.
8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
8Noli arguere derisorem, ne oderit te: argue sapientem, et diliget te.
9Give instruction to a wise man , and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man , and he will increase in learning.
9Da sapienti occasionem, et addetur ei sapientia; doce justum, et festinabit accipere.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
10Principium sapientiæ timor Domini, et scientia sanctorum prudentia.
11For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
11Per me enim multiplicabuntur dies tui, et addentur tibi anni vitæ.
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it .
12Si sapiens fueris, tibimetipsi eris; si autem illusor, solus portabis malum.]
13¶ A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
13[Mulier stulta et clamosa, plenaque illecebris, et nihil omnino sciens,
14For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14sedit in foribus domus suæ, super sellam in excelso urbis loco,
15To call passengers who go right on their ways:
15ut vocaret transeuntes per viam, et pergentes itinere suo:
16Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
16Qui est parvulus declinet ad me. Et vecordi locuta est:
17Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
17Aquæ furtivæ dulciores sunt, et panis absconditus suavior.
18But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
18Et ignoravit quod ibi sint gigantes, et in profundis inferni convivæ ejus.]
