Wisdom’s Invitation

1WisdomH2451 has 1builtH1129 her houseH1004, She has carvedH2672 outH2672 her sevenH7651 pillarsH5982;2She has 23preparedH2873 her foodH2874, she has 4mixedH4537 her wineH3196; She has alsoH637 5setH6186 her tableH7979;3She has 6sentH7971 outH7971 her attendantsH5291, she 7callsH7121 outH7121 From the 8topsH1610 of the heightsH4791 of the cityH7176:4“9WhoeverH4310 is naiveH6612, let him turnH5493 inH5493 hereH2008!” To him whoH2638 10lacksH2638 11understandingH3820 she saysH559,5“ComeH1980, 12eatH3898 of my foodH3899 And drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 I have mixedH4537.613AbandonH5800 your foolishnessH6612 and 14liveH2421, And 15proceedH833 in the wayH1870 of understandingH998.”

7One who 16correctsH3256 a scofferH3917 getsH3947 dishonorH7036 for himself, And one who rebukesH3198 a wickedH7563 personH7563 gets 17insultsH4140 for himself.818Do not rebukeH3198 a scofferH3917, orH6435 he will hateH8130 you; 19RebukeH3198 a wiseH2450 personH2450 and he will loveH157 you.9GiveH5414 instruction to a wiseH2450 personH2450 and he will becomeH2449 stillH5750 wiserH2449; TeachH3045 a righteousH6662 personH6662 and he will 20increaseH3254 his insightH3948.10The 21fearH3374 of the LordH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451, And the knowledgeH1847 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 is understandingH998.11For 22by me your daysH3117 will be multipliedH7235, And yearsH8141 of lifeH2425 will be addedH3254 to you.12IfH518 you areH2449 wiseH2449, you areH2449 wiseH2449 23for yourself, And if you 24scoffH3917, you aloneH905 will 25sufferH5375 from it.

1326A womanH802 of foolishnessH3687 is 27boisterousH1993, She has a lackH6615 ofH6615 understandingH6615 and 28knowsH3045 nothingH1077H4100.14She sitsH3427 at the doorwayH6607 of her houseH1004, On a seatH3678 by 29the highH4791 placesH4791 of the cityH7176,15CallingH7121 to those who passH5674 byH1870, Who are goingH3474 straightH3474 on their pathsH734:16“30WhoeverH4310 is naiveH6612, let him turnH5493 inH5493 hereH2008,” And to him whoH2638 lacksH2638 31understandingH3820 she saysH559,17“StolenH1589 waterH4325 is sweetH4985; And 32breadH3899 eaten in secretH5643 isH5276 pleasantH5276.”18But he does not knowH3045 that the 33deadH7496 are thereH8033, That her guestsH7121 are in the 34depthsH6011 of SheolH7585.
