¹ Wisdom, hath builded her house, hath hewn out her seven pillars;² hath slaughtered her beasts, hath mingled her wine, hath even set in order her table;³ hath sent forth her maidens, She crieth aloud, upon the tops of the heights of the city:⁴ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him - ⁵ Come, feed on my food, and drink of the wine I have mingled;⁶ Forsake the simple ones, and live, and advance in the way of understanding.⁷ He that rebuketh a scoffer, getteth to himself contempt, and, he that reproveth a lawless man, getteth to himself his shame.⁸ Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.⁹ Give to a wise man, and he will be wiser still, Inform a righteous man, and he will increase learning.¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, and, the knowledge of the Holy, is understanding;¹¹ For, by me, shall be multiplied - thy days, and there be added to thee - the years of life.¹² If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself, but, if thou scoff, alone, shalt thou bear it.

¹³ The woman Stupidity, is boisterous, so simple that she knoweth not what she would do;¹⁴ So she sitteth at the entrance of her house, upon a seat, in the heights of the city;¹⁵ To invite them who pass by the way, who are going straight on in their paths:¹⁶ Whoso is simple, let him turn aside hither, and, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him:¹⁷ Stolen waters, will be sweet, - and a secret meal, will be pleasant;¹⁸ But he knoweth not, that the shades are there; In the depths of hades, are her guests.
