1 Wisdom built her house, she hewed out her seven pillars:

2 She slaughtered her slaughter; she mingled her wine; also she prepared her table.

3 She sent forth her girls: she will call upon the wings of the heights of the city,

4 Who the simple, he shall turn aside here: he wanting heart, she said to him,

5 Come ye, eat of my bread, and drink ye of the wine I mingled.

6 Forsake ye the foolish, and live; and go straight in the way of understanding.

7 He instructing him mocking received to himself dishonor: and he reproving to the unjust one, his blemish.

8 Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.
