Pearls Of Wisdom Bible Reading WIth Dr.Diana Brevan

Proverbs 9

King James Version

9 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:

16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

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

Proverbios 9

La Palabra (España)

La fiesta de la Sabiduría

9 La Sabiduría edificó su casa,talló sus siete columnas,2 sacrificó las víctimas, mezcló su vinoy hasta preparó su mesa.3 Después mandó a sus criadas a pregonarpor los lugares dominantes de la ciudad:4 “Que los inexpertos vengan aquí”.A los insensatos, por su parte, les decía:5 “Venid a compartir mi comiday a beber el vino que he preparado.6 Dejad de ser insensatos y viviréis,seguid rectos el camino de la inteligencia”.

Contra los cínicos

7 Quien corrige al cínico recibe insultos,quien reprende al malvado, desprecio.8 No reprendas al cínico, que te odiará;corrige al sabio y te amará.9 Dale al sabio y será más sabio;enseña al justo y aprenderá más.10 El comienzo de la sabiduríaes el respeto del Señor,conocer al Santo es inteligencia.11 Gracias a mí vivirás muchos días,prolongarás los años de tu vida.12 Si eres sabio, te aprovechará el serlo;si eres cínico, sufrirás las consecuencias.

La fiesta de Doña Necedad

13 Doña Necedad es chismosa,simplona e ignorante.14 Se sienta a la puerta de su casaen una silla desde donde domina la ciudad;15 desde allí grita a los transeúntes,a los que van derechos por su camino:16 “Que los inexpertos vengan aquí”;y a los insensatos les dice:17 “El agua robada es dulce,el alimento prohibido es exquisito”.18 Pero ignora que allí habitan los fantasmasy que sus huéspedes están en el fondo del abismo.
