1 Wisdom she has built house her she has hewn pillars her seven.
Wisdom hath builded her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars.
2 She has slaughtered slaughtering her she has mixed wine her also she has arranged table her.
She hath killed her fatlings; She hath mingled her wine; Yea, she hath furnished her table.
3 She has sent out female servants her she calls out on [the] elevations of [the] heights of [the] town.
She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth aloud upon the highest places of the city:
4 Who? [is] naive let him turn aside here [one] lacking of heart she says to him.
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither!” To him that is void of understanding she saith,
5 Come eat in food my and drink in [the] wine [which] I have mixed.
“Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled!
6 Abandon foolish things and live and advance in [the] way of understanding.
Forsake folly, and live! And go forward in the way of understanding!
7 [one who] admonishes - A mocker [is] receiving for himself shame and [one who] reproves a wicked [person] defect his.
“He who correcteth a scoffer Bringeth shame upon himself; And he who rebuketh the wicked Bringeth upon himself a stain.
8 May not you reprove a mocker lest he should hate you reprove a wise [person] and he will love you.
Rebuke not a scoffer, lest he hate thee; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give to a wise [person] so he may be wise yet make known to a righteous [person] so may he increase insight.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; Teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.
10 [is the] beginning of Wisdom [the] fear of Yahweh and [the] knowledge of [the] holy [one] [is] understanding.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Most Holy is understanding.
11 For by me they will increase days your so they may add to you years of life.
Yea, through me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If you are wise you are wise for yourself and you mock to alone you you will bear [it].
If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou art a scoffer, thou alone must bear it.”
13 A woman of folly [is] boisterous naivete and not she knows whatever.
The foolish woman is clamorous; She is very simple, and careth for nothing.
14 And she sits to [the] doorway of house her on a seat [the] heights of [the] town.
She sitteth at the door of her house, Upon a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call out to [those who] pass by of [the] road those [who] make straight paths their.
To call aloud to those that pass by, Who go straight forward in their ways,
16 Who? [is] naive let him turn aside here and [one] lacking of heart and she says to him.
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither!” And to him that is void of understanding she saith,
17 Waters stolen they are sweet and bread of secret places it is delightful.
“Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 And not he knows that [the] shades [are] there [are] in [the] depths of Sheol invited [ones] her. (Sheol h7585)
But he considereth not that the dead are there, That in the vales of the under-world are her guests. (Sheol h7585)
