Read the Bible

¹ Wisdom has built her house;
    she has made its seven columns.
² She has prepared her food and wine;
    she has set her table.
³ She has sent out her servant girls,
    and she calls out from the highest place in the city.
⁴ She says to those who are uneducated,
    "Come in here, you foolish people!
⁵ Come and eat my food
    and drink the wine I have prepared.
⁶ Stop your foolish ways, and you will live;
    take the road of understanding.

⁷ "If you correct someone who makes fun of wisdom, you will be insulted.
    If you correct an evil person, you will get hurt.
⁸ Do not correct those who make fun of wisdom, or they will hate you.
    But correct the wise, and they will love you.
⁹ Teach the wise, and they will become even wiser;
    teach good people, and they will learn even more.

¹⁰ "Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord,
    and understanding begins with knowing the Holy One.
¹¹ If you live wisely, you will live a long time;
    wisdom will add years to your life.
¹² The wise person is rewarded by wisdom,
    but whoever makes fun of wisdom will suffer for it."

¹³ Foolishness is like a loud woman;
    she does not have wisdom or knowledge.
¹⁴ She sits at the door of her house
    at the highest place in the city.
¹⁵ She calls out to those who are passing by,
    who are going along, minding their own business.
¹⁶ She says to those who are uneducated,
    "Come in here, you foolish people!
¹⁷ Stolen water is sweeter,
    and food eaten in secret tastes better."
¹⁸ But these people don't know that everyone who goes there dies,
    that her guests end up deep in the grave.
