ಜ್ಞಾನೋಕ್ತಿಗಳು 9
Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 ೭ ಧರ್ಮನಿಂದಕನನ್ನು ಶಿಕ್ಷಿಸುವವನು ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಅವಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು, ಕೆಟ್ಟವನನ್ನು ಗದರಿಸುವವನಿಗೇ ಕಳಂಕವಾಗುವುದು.
He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate you: rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 ೯ ಜ್ಞಾನಿಗೆ ಉಪದೇಶಿಸಿದರೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವನು, ನೀತಿವಂತನಿಗೆ ಬೋಧಿಸಿದರೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ತಿಳಿವಳಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುವನು.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knows nothing.
For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Whoso is simple, let him turn in here: and as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
