3 She has sent out her young girls [with invitations]; she calls from the heights of the city,
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city,
4 "Whoever is unsure of himself, turn in here!"To someone weak-willed she says,
4 “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says,
5 "Come and eat my food! Drink the wine I have mixed!

6 Don't stay unsure of yourself, but live! Walk in the way of understanding!"
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”
