1 Wisdom 2454 hath builded 1129 her house 1004, she hath hewn out 2672 her seven 7651 pillars 5982:
2 She hath killed 2873 her beasts 2874; she hath mingled 4537 her wine 3196; she hath also furnished 6186 her table 7979.
3 She hath sent forth 7971 her maidens 5291: she crieth 7121 upon 1610 the highest places 4791 of the city 7176,
4 Whoso is simple 6612, let him turn in 5493 hither: as for him that wanteth 2638 understanding 3820, she saith 559 to him,
5 Come 3212, eat 3898 of my bread 3899, and drink 8354 of the wine 3196 which I have mingled 4537.
6 Forsake 5800 the foolish 6612, and live 2421; and go 833 in the way 1870 of understanding 998.
7 He that reproveth 3256 a scorner 3887 getteth 3947 to himself shame 7036: and he that rebuketh 3198 a wicked 7563 man getteth himself a blot 3971.
8 Reprove 3198 not a scorner 3887, lest he hate 8130 thee: rebuke 3198 a wise man 2450, and he will love 157 thee.
9 Give 5414 instruction to a wise 2450 man, and he will be yet wiser 2449: teach 3045 a just 6662 man, and he will increase 3254 in learning 3948.
10 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is the beginning 8462 of wisdom 2451: and the knowledge 1847 of the holy 6918 is understanding 998.
11 For by me thy days 3117 shall be multiplied 7235, and the years 8141 of thy life 2416 shall be increased 3254.
12 If thou be wise 2449, thou shalt be wise 2449 for thyself: but if thou scornest 3887, thou alone shalt bear 5375 it.
13 A foolish 3687 woman 802 is clamorous 1993: she is simple 6615, and 1077 knoweth 3045 nothing 4100.
14 For she sitteth 3427 at the door 6607 of her house 1004, on a seat 3678 in the high places 4791 of the city 7176,
15 To call 7121 passengers 5674 1870 who go right 3474 on their ways 734:
16 Whoso is simple 6612, let him turn in 5493 hither: and as for him that wanteth 2638 understanding 3820, she saith 559 to him,
17 Stolen 1589 waters 4325 are sweet 4985, and bread 3899 eaten in secret 5643 is pleasant 5276.
18 But he knoweth 3045 not that the dead 7496 are there; and that her guests 7121 are in the depths 6012 of hell 7585.
