The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 Wisdom hath built 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 slaughtered her cattle, she hath mingled her wine, she hath also prepared 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 summits of the high 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. To him that is void of understanding, she saith,
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 that I have mingled.
5
“Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Forsake follies and live, and go in the way of intelligence.
6
Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”
