PRO 9
1Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars. 2She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3She has sent out her maidservants; she calls out from the heights of the city. 4“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment. 5“Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed. 6Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.” 7He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself. 8Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. 12If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage; but if you scoff, you alone will bear the consequences. 13The woman named Folly is loud; she is naive and knows nothing. 14She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the heights of the city, 15calling out to those who pass by, who make their paths straight. 16“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment. 17“Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is tasty!” 18But they do not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
Secondary reading — PSA 139:1-12
1O LORD, You have searched me and known me. 2You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar. 3You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways. 4Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD. 5You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? 8If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. 9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, 10even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast. 11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”— 12even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
