Proverbs 9:10-18

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind

¹¹For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.

¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.

¹³The foolish woman is full of noise; she has no sense at all.

¹⁴Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town,

¹⁵Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says:

¹⁶Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says:

¹⁷Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.

¹⁸But he does not see that the dead are there, that her guests are in the deep places of the underworld.
