3
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 si quis est parvulus veniat ad me et insipientibus locuta est
4
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 venite comedite panem meum et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis
5
Come , eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled .
6 relinquite infantiam et vivite et ambulate per vias prudentiae

Forsake the foolish, and live ; and go in the way of understanding.
7 qui erudit derisorem ipse sibi facit iniuriam et qui arguit impium generat maculam sibi
7
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 noli arguere derisorem ne oderit te argue sapientem et diliget te
8
Reprove not a scorner , lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 da sapienti et addetur ei sapientia doce iustum et festinabit accipere

11 per me enim multiplicabuntur dies tui et addentur tibi anni vitae
11
For by me thy days shall be multiplied , and the years of thy life shall be increased .
12 si sapiens fueris tibimet ipsi eris si inlusor solus portabis malum

If thou be wise , thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest , thou alone shalt bear it.
13 mulier stulta et clamosa plenaque inlecebris et nihil omnino sciens

A foolish woman is clamorous : she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 sedit in foribus domus suae super sellam in excelso urbis loco
14
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 ut vocaret transeuntes viam et pergentes itinere suo
15
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 quis est parvulus declinet ad me et vecordi locuta est
16
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 aquae furtivae dulciores sunt et panis absconditus suavior
17
Stolen waters are sweet , and bread eaten in secret is pleasant .
18 et ignoravit quod gigantes ibi sint et in profundis inferni convivae eius
18
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
