1
Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars.
2
She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table.
3
She has sent out her maids to call from the highest places in the town,
4
"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who is without sense she says,
5
"Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.
6
Leave simpleness, and live, and walk in the way of insight."
7
He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
