Wisdom{H2454} hath builded{H1129} her house;{H1004} She hath hewn out{H2672} her seven{H7651} pillars:{H5982}

She hath killed{H2873} her beasts;{H2874} She hath mingled{H4537} her wine;{H3196} She hath also furnished{H6186} her table:{H7979}

She hath sent forth{H7971} her maidens;{H5291} She crieth{H7121} upon{H1610} the highest places{H4791} of the city:{H7176}

Whoso is simple,{H6612} let him turn in{H5493} hither: As for him that is void{H2638} of understanding,{H3820} she saith{H559} to him,

Come,{H3212} eat{H3898} ye of my bread,{H3899} And drink{H8354} of the wine{H3196} which I have mingled.{H4537}

Leave{H5800} off, ye simple{H6612} ones, and live;{H2421} And walk{H833} in the way{H1870} of understanding.{H998}

He that correcteth{H3256} a scoffer{H3887} getteth{H3947} to himself reviling;{H7036} And he that reproveth{H3198} a wicked{H7563} man [getteth] himself a blot.{H3971}

Reprove{H3198} not a scoffer,{H3887} lest he hate{H8130} thee: Reprove{H3198} a wise man,{H2450} and he will love{H157} thee.

Give{H5414} [instruction] to a wise{H2450} man, and he will be yet wiser:{H2449} Teach{H3045} a righteous{H6662} man, and he will increase{H3254} in learning.{H3948}

The fear{H3374} of Jehovah{H3068} is the beginning{H8462} of wisdom;{H2451} And the knowledge{H1847} of the Holy{H6918} One is understanding.{H998}

For by me thy days{H3117} shall be multiplied,{H7235} And the years{H8141} of thy life{H2416} shall be increased.{H3254}

If thou art wise,{H2449} thou art wise{H2449} for thyself; And if thou scoffest,{H3887} thou alone shalt bear{H5375} it.

The foolish{H3687} woman{H802} is clamorous;{H1993} [She is] simple,{H6615} and{H1077} knoweth{H3045} nothing.{H4100}

And she sitteth{H3427} at the door{H6607} of her house,{H1004} On a seat{H3678} in the high places{H4791} of the city,{H7176}

To call{H7121} to them that pass{H5674} by, Who go right{H3474} on their ways:{H734}

Whoso is simple,{H6612} let him turn in{H5493} hither; And as for him that is void{H2638} of understanding,{H3820} she saith{H559} to him,

Stolen{H1589} waters{H4325} are sweet,{H4985} And bread{H3899} [eaten] in secret{H5643} is pleasant.{H5276}

But he knoweth{H3045} not that the dead{H7496} are there; That her guests{H7121} are in the depths{H6012} of Sheol.{H7585}
