1Wisdom has built her house;[#Mt 16.18; Eph 2.20, 22]
she has hewn her seven pillars.
2She has slaughtered her animals; she has mixed her wine;[#Mt 22.4]
she has also set her table.
3She has sent out her female servants; she calls[#Ps 68.11; Mt 22.3]
from the highest places in the town,
4“You who are simple, turn in here!”[#Prov 6.32; 8.5]
To those without sense she says,
5“Come, eat of my bread[#Song 5.1; Isa 55.1; Jn 6.27]
and drink of the wine I have mixed.
6Lay aside immaturity and live,[#Ezek 11.20; 37.24]
and walk in the way of insight.”
7Whoever corrects a scoffer wins abuse;[#Prov 23.9]
whoever rebukes the wicked gets hurt.
8Do not rebuke a scoffer, lest he hate you;[#Ps 141.5; Mt 7.6]
rebuke the wise, and he will love you.
9Give instruction to the wise, and they will become wiser still;[#Prov 1.5; #9.9 Heb lacks instruction]
teach the righteous, and they will gain in learning.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,[#Job 28.28; Prov 1.7]
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11For by me your days will be multiplied,[#Prov 3.16; 10.27]
and years will be added to your life.
12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;[#Prov 19.29]
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
13The foolish woman is loud;[#Prov 5.6; 7.11]
she is ignorant and knows nothing.
14She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the high places of the town,
15calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
16“You who are simple, turn in here!”
And to those without sense she says,
17“Stolen water is sweet,[#Prov 20.17]
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18But they do not know that the dead are there,[#Prov 7.27; #9.18 Heb shades]
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
