1. Wisdom has built her house.She has carved out her seven pillars.
2. She has prepared her meat.She has mixed her wine.She has set her table.
3. She has sent out her servant girls.She calls from the highest places in the city,
4. “Whoever is gullible turn in here!”She says to a person without sense,
5. “Come, eat my bread,and drink the wine I have mixed.
6. Stop being gullible and live.Start traveling the road to understanding.”
7. Whoever corrects a mocker receives abuse.Whoever warns a wicked person gets hurt.
8. Do not warn a mocker, or he will hate you.Warn a wise person, and he will love you.
9. Give ⌊advice⌋ to a wise person,and he will become even wiser.Teach a righteous person,and he will learn more.
10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11. You will live longer because of me,and years will be added to your life.
