1. Wisdom has built her house;she has carved out its seven pillars.
2. She has prepared her meat, she has mixed her wine;she also has arranged her table.
3. She has sent out her female servants;she calls out on the highest places of the city.
4. “Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,”she says to those who lack understanding.
5. “Come, eat some of my food,and drink some of the wine I have mixed.
6. Abandon your foolish ways so that you may live,and proceed in the way of understanding.”
7. Whoever corrects a mocker is asking for insult;whoever reproves a wicked person receives abuse.
