Wisdom <H2454> hath builded <H1129> her house, <H1004> she hath hewn out <H2672> her seven <H7651> pillars: <H5982>
2
She hath killed <H2873> her beasts; <H2874> she hath mingled <H4537> her wine; <H3196> she hath also furnished <H6186> her table. <H7979>
3
She hath sent forth <H7971> her maidens: <H5291> she crieth <H7121> upon the highest places <H1610> <H4791> of the city, <H7176>
4
Whoso [is] simple, <H6612> let him turn in <H5493> hither: [as for] him that wanteth <H2638> understanding, <H3820> she saith <H0559> to him,
5
Come, <H3212> eat <H3898> of my bread, <H3899> and drink <H8354> of the wine <H3196> [which] I have mingled. <H4537>
6
Forsake <H5800> the foolish, <H6612> and live; <H2421> and go <H0833> in the way <H1870> of understanding. <H0998>
7
He that reproveth <H3256> a scorner <H3887> getteth <H3947> to himself shame: <H7036> and he that rebuketh <H3198> a wicked <H7563> [man getteth] himself a blot. <H3971>
8
Reprove <H3198> not a scorner, <H3887> lest he hate <H8130> thee: rebuke <H3198> a wise man, <H2450> and he will love <H0157> thee.
9
Give <H5414> [instruction] to a wise <H2450> [man], and he will be yet wiser: <H2449> teach <H3045> a just <H6662> [man], and he will increase <H3254> in learning. <H3948>
10
The fear <H3374> of the LORD <H3068> [is] the beginning <H8462> of wisdom: <H2451> and the knowledge <H1847> of the holy <H6918> [is] understanding. <H0998>
11
For by me thy days <H3117> shall be multiplied, <H7235> and the years <H8141> of thy life <H2416> shall be increased. <H3254>
12
If thou be wise, <H2449> thou shalt be wise <H2449> for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, <H3887> thou alone shalt bear <H5375> [it].
13
A foolish <H3687> woman <H0802> [is] clamorous: <H1993> [she is] simple, <H6615> and knoweth <H3045> nothing. <H1077> <H4100>
14
For she sitteth <H3427> at the door <H6607> of her house, <H1004> on a seat <H3678> in the high places <H4791> of the city, <H7176>
15
To call <H7121> passengers <H5674> <H1870> who go right <H3474> on their ways: <H0734>
16
Whoso [is] simple, <H6612> let him turn in <H5493> hither: and [as for] him that wanteth <H2638> understanding, <H3820> she saith <H0559> to him,
17
Stolen <H1589> waters <H4325> are sweet, <H4985> and bread <H3899> [eaten] in secret <H5643> is pleasant. <H5276>
18
But he knoweth <H3045> not that the dead <H7496> [are] there; [and that] her guests <H7121> [are] in the depths <H6012> of hell. <H7585>
