Proverbs Scripture Reading - Proverbs 9:1-6

Proverbs 9:1-6 English Standard Version

The Way of Wisdom

9 Wisdom has built her house;

    she has hewn her seven pillars.

2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;

    she has also set her table.

3 She has sent out her young women to call

    from the highest places in the town,

4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”

    To him who lacks sense she says,

5 “Come, eat of my bread

    and drink of the wine I have mixed.

6 Leave your simple ways, and live,

    and walk in the way of insight.”
