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. {her beasts: Heb. her killing}
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.
6
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked {man getteth} himself a blot.
8
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9
Give {instruction} to a wise {man}, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just {man}, and he will increase in learning.
10
The fear of the LORD {is} the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy {is} understanding.
11
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but {if} thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear {it}.
13
A foolish woman {is} clamorous: {she is} simple, and knoweth nothing.
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,
17
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread {eaten} in secret is pleasant. {eaten...: Heb. of secrecies}
18
But he knoweth not that the dead {are} there; {and that} her guests {are} in the depths of hell.
