Proverbs 8:32 - Proverbs 9:5

32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children; for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul; all they that hate me love death.

Proverbs 9
Intro: The discipline of wisdom -- The error of folly.

1 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.
