1. Wisdom has built her house,she has set up her seven columns;
2. She has prepared her meat, mixed her wine,yes, she has spread her table.
3. She has sent out her maidservants; she callsfrom the heights out over the city:
4. “Let whoever is naive turn in here;to any who lack sense I say,
5. Come, eat of my food,and drink of the wine I have mixed!
6. Forsake foolishness that you may live;advance in the way of understanding.”
7. Whoever corrects the arrogant earns insults;and whoever reproves the wicked incurs opprobrium.
8. Do not reprove the arrogant, lest they hate you;reprove the wise, and they will love you.
9. Instruct the wise, and they become still wiser;teach the just, and they advance in learning.
