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.
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.
18
But
he
knoweth
not
that
the
dead
[are]
there;
[and
that]
her
guests
[are]
in
the
depths
of
hell.
