1. Wisdom has built her house,she has hewn out her seven pillars;
2. she has killed her beasts, she has mixed her wine,she has also furnished her table.
3. She has sent out her maidens,she cries out from the highest places of the city,
4. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”As for him who wants understanding, she says to him,
5. “Come, eat of my bread,and drink of the wine which I have mixed.
6. Forsake foolishness and live,and go in the way of understanding.”
7. He who reproves a scorner gets shame for himself,and he who rebukes a wicked man gets hurt.
8. Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you;rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
