The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Wisdom has made her house, putting up her seven pillars.

2 She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.

3 She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,

4 Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:

5 Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

6 Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
