Proverbs 9:5-17 in American Standard Version (1901)

5 Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
7 He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13 The foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Proverbs 9 in American Standard Version (1901)

Proverbs 9:5-17 in Brenton Septuagint Translation

5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink wine which I have mingled for you.
6 Leave folly, that ye may reign for ever; and seek wisdom, and improve understanding by knowledge.
7 He that reproves evil men shall get dishonour to himself; and he that rebukes an ungodly man shall disgrace himself.
8 Rebuke not evil men, lest they should hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be wiser: instruct a just man, and he will receive more instruction.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the counsel of saints is understanding:
10a for to know the law is the character of a sound mind.
11 For in this way thou shalt live long, and years of thy life shall be added to thee.
12 Son, if thou be wise for thyself, thou shalt also be wise for thy neighbours; and if thou shouldest prove wicked, thou alone wilt bear the evil.
12a He that stays himself upon falsehoods, attempts to rule the winds, and the same will pursue birds in their flight:
12b for he has forsaken the ways of his own vineyard, and he has caused the axles of his own husbandry to go astray;
12c and he goes through a dry desert, and a land appointed to drought, and he gathers barrenness with his hands.
13 A foolish and bold woman, who knows not modesty, comes to want a morsel.
14 She sits at the doors of her house, on a seat openly in the streets,
15 calling to passers by, and to those that are going right on their ways;
16 saying, Whoso is most senseless of you, let him turn aside to me; and I exhort those that want prudence, saying,
17 Take and enjoy secret bread, and the sweet water of theft.

Proverbs 9:5-17 in Translation for Translators

5 “Come and eat the food that I have prepared, and drink the good wine that I have mixed!
6 ◄Leave/Go away from► other foolish people, and if you do that, you will continue to live. Walk on the road that will enable you to ◄have knowledge/know what is true and what is not true►.”
7 If you rebuke someone who will not allow others to correct him, he will insult you. If you reprove/scold an evil man, he will hurt you.
8 Do not rebuke someone who will not allow others to ◄correct him/tell him what he has done is wrong►, because he will hate you for doing that. But if you rebuke a wise person, he will respect you.
9 If you give instruction to wise people, they will become wiser. And if you teach righteous people, they will learn more.
10 If you want to be wise, you must start by revering Yahweh, and if you know God, the Holy One, you will understand which teachings are wise/true.
11 If you become wise, you will live many years DOU.
12 If you are wise, you are the one who will benefit from it; if you ridicule becoming wise, you are the one who will suffer.
13 Foolish women talk loudly; they are ignorant and are never ashamed of the wrong things that they do.
14 They sit at the doors of their houses or they sit on the top of the hills in the town,
15 and they call out to the men who are passing by, who are trying to be concerned with their own affairs,
16 “You people who need to understand more, come into my house!” And to those who are ignorant, they call out,
17 “ Just as water which you have stolen tastes very good and food that you eat by yourself tastes the best, if you have sex secretly with someone to whom you are not married, you will enjoy it very much.”
