The Way of Wisdom

9Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars.H2454H1129H1004H2672H7651H5982 2She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table.H2873H2874H4537H3196H6186H7979 3She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town,H7971H5291H7121H1610H4791H7176 4"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks sense she says,H6612H5493H2638H3820H559 5"Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.H3212H3898H3899H8354H3196H4537 6Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight."H5800H6612H2421H833H1870H998 7Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.H3256H3887H3947H7036H3198H7563H3971 8Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.H3198H3887H8130H3198H2450H157 9Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.H5414H2450H2449H3045H6662H3254H3948 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.H3374H3068H8462H2451H1847H6918H998 11For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.H3117H7235H8141H2416H3254 12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.H2449H2449H3887H5375 13The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing.H3687H802H1993H6615H1077H3045H4100 14She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,H3427H6607H1004H3678H4791H7176 15calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way,H7121H5674H1870H3474H734 16"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who lacks sense she says,H6612H5493H2638H3820H559 17"Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."H1589H4325H4985H3899H5643H5276 18But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.H3045H7496H7121H6012H7585
