1Wisdom{H2454} hath builded{H1129} her house;{H1004} She hath hewn out{H2672} her seven{H7651} pillars:{H5982}
2She hath killed{H2873} her beasts;{H2874} She hath mingled{H4537} her wine;{H3196} She hath also furnished{H6186} her table:{H7979}
3She hath sent forth{H7971} her maidens;{H5291} She crieth{H7121} upon{H1610} the highest places{H4791} of the city:{H7176}
4Whoso is simple,{H6612} let him turn in{H5493} hither: As for him that is void{H2638} of understanding,{H3820} she saith{H559} to him,
5Come,{H3212} eat{H3898} ye of my bread,{H3899} And drink{H8354} of the wine{H3196} which I have mingled.{H4537}
6Leave{H5800} off, ye simple{H6612} ones, and live;{H2421} And walk{H833} in the way{H1870} of understanding.{H998}
7He that correcteth{H3256} a scoffer{H3887} getteth{H3947} to himself reviling;{H7036} And he that reproveth{H3198} a wicked{H7563} man [getteth] himself a blot.{H3971}
8Reprove{H3198} not a scoffer,{H3887} lest he hate{H8130} thee: Reprove{H3198} a wise man,{H2450} and he will love{H157} thee.
9Give{H5414} [instruction] to a wise{H2450} man, and he will be yet wiser:{H2449} Teach{H3045} a righteous{H6662} man, and he will increase{H3254} in learning.{H3948}
10The fear{H3374} of Jehovah{H3068} is the beginning{H8462} of wisdom;{H2451} And the knowledge{H1847} of the Holy{H6918} One is understanding.{H998}
11For by me thy days{H3117} shall be multiplied,{H7235} And the years{H8141} of thy life{H2416} shall be increased.{H3254}
12If thou art wise,{H2449} thou art wise{H2449} for thyself; And if thou scoffest,{H3887} thou alone shalt bear{H5375} it.
