1. Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2. She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table;
3. She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the tops of the heights of the city:
4. "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks understanding she says,
5. "Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed.
6. "Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in the way of understanding."
7. He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.
8. Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you.
