New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
10

Lord
is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you alone will suffer
from it.

On a seat by the high places of the city,
15
Calling to those who pass by,
Who are going straight on their paths:
16
'Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,'
And to him who lacks understanding she says,

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13

14
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

and years will be added to your life.
12
If you are wise, you are wise for your own benefit;
if you mock, you alone will bear the consequences."
