Proverbs 9:10-18 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy is intelligence.

11. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.

12. If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

13. The foolish woman is clamorous; she is stupid, and knoweth nothing.

14. And she sitteth at the entry of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

15. to call passers-by who go right on their ways:

16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. And to him that is void of understanding she saith,

17. Stolen waters are sweet, and the bread of secrecy is pleasant.

18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
