Wisdom has
built
her house ;
she has
carved
out her seven
pillars.
Wisdom hath
builded
her house ,
She hath
hewn
out her pillars --
seven
.
She has
prepared
her meat
and
mixed
her wine ;
she has
also
set
her table.
She hath
slaughtered
her slaughter,
She
hath
mingled
her wine ,
Yea,
she hath
arranged
her table.
She has
sent out
her maidservants;
she calls
out
from
the heights
of the city .
She hath
sent forth
her damsels,
She crieth
on
the tops
of the high
places
of
the
city :
“Whoever
is simple ,
let him turn in
here!”
she says
to him who
lacks
judgment.
`Who
`
is '
simple ?
let him turn aside
hither.'
Whoso
lacketh
heart:
she hath
said
to him ,
“
Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed
.

And drink of

Leave
your

will
live ;
walk

ye

He
who
corrects
a mocker
brings
shame on
himself;
he
who
rebukes
a wicked man
taints
himself
.
The
instructor
of
a scorner
Is
receiving
for
it
--
shame ,
And
a reprover
of
the
wicked --
his
blemish
.
Do
not rebuke
a mocker
, or
he will
hate you;
rebuke
a
wise man
, and he will
love
you
.
Reprove
not a scorner
, lest
he hate thee,
Give
reproof
to
the
wise, and he loveth
thee
.
Instruct
a
wise man
, and he will
be
wiser still ;
teach
a
righteous man
, and he will
increase
his
learning.
Give
to
the
wise, and he is
wiser still ,
Make
known
to
the
righteous, And he increaseth
learning.
The fear
of the
LORD
is the beginning
of wisdom
, and knowledge of the Holy One
is understanding.
The commencement
of wisdom
`
is '
the fear
of Jehovah
, And a
knowledge of the Holy Ones
`
is '
understanding.
For through
wisdom
your
days will
be
multiplied
, and years
will
be
added to your
life.
For by
me
do
thy
days multiply
, And added to thee
are
years
of
life.
If you
are
wise, you
are
wise to
your
own
advantage;
but
if
you
scoff
, you
alone
will
bear
the
consequences
.
If thou
hast
been
wise, thou
hast
been
wise for
thyself
, And
thou
hast
scorned
--
thyself
bearest
`it'
.
The
woman named
Folly
is
loud;
she
is naive
and knows
nothing
.
A
foolish
woman `
is '
noisy,
Simple,
and hath
not
known
what
.
She sits
at the door
of her house, on a seat
in
the heights
of the city,
And
she hath
sat
at the opening
of her house, On a throne
--
the high
places
of the city,
calling
out
to those who
pass
by, who make
their paths straight
.
To call
to
those passing
by the
way
, Who are
going
straight
`on'
their paths.
“Whoever
is simple ,
let him turn in
here!”
she says

lacks
judgment.

simple ?

hither.'
And
whoso
lacketh
heart
--
she said
to him ,
“
Stolen water
is
sweet, and bread eaten
in
secret
is tasty!”
`
Stolen waters
are
sweet, And hidden
bread is pleasant.'
But
they
do
not know
that the
dead
are there, that
her
guests
are
in the
depths
of Sheol .
And
he
hath
not known
that Rephaim
`
are '
there, In deep
places
of Sheol her
invited
ones!
