The Way of Wisdom
Wisdom has built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
Wisdom has built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
The Way of Wisdom
Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;
Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars;
she hath slaughtered her cattle, she hath mingled her wine, she hath also prepared her table;
She has sent out her maidens,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,
she hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the summits of the high places of the city,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. To him that is void of understanding, she saith,
“Come, eat of my bread
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
Come, eat ye of my bread, and drink of the wine that I have mingled.
Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.
And go in the way of understanding.
Forsake follies and live, and go in the way of intelligence.
“He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
He that instructeth a scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that reproveth a wicked [man] [getteth] to himself a blot.
Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; reprove a wise [man], and he will love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Impart to a wise [man], and he will become yet wiser; teach a righteous [man], and he will increase learning.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy is intelligence.
For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
And years of life will be added to you.
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
The Way of Folly
The foolish woman is clamorous; she is stupid, and knoweth nothing.
The foolish woman is clamorous; she is stupid, and knoweth nothing.
For she sits at the door of her house,
On a seat by the highest places of the city,
On a seat by the highest places of the city,
And she sitteth at the entry of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their way:
Who go straight on their way:
to call passers-by who go right on their ways:
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. And to him that is void of understanding she saith,
“Stolen water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
Stolen waters are sweet, and the bread of secrecy is pleasant.
