1. 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 is void of understanding, she saith to him,
5. Come, eat ye of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6. Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.
7. He that correcteth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
