Proverbs 9
- 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 is void of understanding, she saith to him,
- 5 Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
- 6 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
- 7 He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
- 8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
- 9 Giveinstructionto a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
- 10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
- 11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
- 12 If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.
- 13 The foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
- 14 And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city,
- 15 To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:
- 16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,
- 17 Stolen waters are sweet, And breadeatenin secret is pleasant.
- 18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
