- 1Wisdom hath builded her house, She hath hewn out her pillars -- seven.
- 2She hath slaughtered her slaughter, She hath mingled her wine, Yea, she hath arranged her table.
- 3She hath sent forth her damsels, She crieth on the tops of the high places of the city:
- 4`Who `is' simple? let him turn aside hither.' Whoso lacketh heart: she hath said to him,
- 5`Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have mingled.
- 6Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.
- 7The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it -- shame, And a reprover of the wicked -- his blemish.
- 8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee.
- 9Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increaseth learning.
- 10The commencement of wisdom `is' the fear of Jehovah, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones `is' understanding.
- 11For by me do thy days multiply, And added to thee are years of life.
- 12If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself, And thou hast scorned -- thyself bearest `it'.
- 13A foolish woman `is' noisy, Simple, and hath not known what.
- 14And she hath sat at the opening of her house, On a throne -- the high places of the city,
- 15To call to those passing by the way, Who are going straight `on' their paths.
- 16`Who `is' simple? let him turn aside hither.' And whoso lacketh heart -- she said to him,
- 17`Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden bread is pleasant.'
- 18And he hath not known that Rephaim `are' there, In deep places of Sheol her invited ones!
