American Standard Version ASV
New International Version NIV
1 Wisdom hath builded her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars:
1
Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.
2 She hath killed her beasts; She hath mingled her wine; She hath also furnished her table:
2
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth upon the highest places of the city:
3
She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,
4
“Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says,
5 Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
5
“Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
6
Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”
