1WisdomH2451 has 1builtH1129 her houseH1004, She has hewnH2672 out her sevenH7651 pillarsH5982;2She has 23preparedH2873 her foodH2874, she has 4mixedH4537 her wineH3196; She has alsoH637 5setH6186 her tableH7979;3She has 6sentH7971 out her maidensH5291, she 7callsH7121 From the 8topsH1610 of the heightsH4791 of the cityH7176:4“9WhoeverH4310 is 10naiveH6612, let him turnH5493 in hereH2008!” To him whoH2638 11lacksH2638 12understandingH3820 she saysH559,5“ComeH1980, 13eatH3898 of my foodH3899 And drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 I have mixedH4537.614ForsakeH5800 your follyH6612 and 15liveH2421, And 16proceedH833 in the wayH1870 of understandingH998.”

7He who 17correctsH3256 a scofferH3917 getsH3947 dishonorH7036 for himself, And he who reprovesH3198 a wickedH7563 manH7563 gets 18insultsH4140 for himself.819Do not reproveH3198 a scofferH3917, orH6435 he will hateH8130 you, 20ReproveH3198 a wiseH2450 manH2450 and he will loveH157 you.9GiveH5414 instruction to a wiseH2450 manH2450 and he will be stillH5750 wiserH2449, TeachH3045 a righteousH6662 manH6662 and he will 21increaseH3254 his learningH3948.10The 22fearH3374 of the LordH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451, And the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 is understandingH998.11For 23by me your daysH3117 will be multipliedH7235, And yearsH8141 of lifeH2425 will be addedH3254 to you.12IfH518 you are wiseH2449, you are wiseH2449 24for yourself, And if you 25scoffH3917, you aloneH905 will bearH5375 it.

13The 26womanH802 of follyH3687 is 27boisterousH1993, She is 28naiveH6615 and 29knowsH3045 nothingH1077H4100.14She sitsH3427 at the doorwayH6607 of her houseH1004, On a seatH3678 by 30the highH4791 placesH4791 of the cityH7176,15CallingH7121 to those who passH5674 by, Who are makingH3474 their pathsH734 straightH3474:16“31WhoeverH4310 is 32naiveH6612, let him turnH5493 in hereH2008,” And to him whoH2638 lacksH2638 33understandingH3820 she saysH559,17“StolenH1589 waterH4325 is sweetH4985; And 34breadH3899 eaten in secretH5643 is pleasantH5276.”18But he does not knowH3045 that the 35deadH7496 are thereH8033, That her guestsH7121 are in the 36depthsH6011 of SheolH7585.
