1 - Wisdom has built her house.She has carved out her seven pillars.
2 - She has prepared her meat.She has mixed her wine.She has also set her table.
3 - She has sent out her maidens.She cries from the highest places of the city:
4 - "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!"As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
5 - "Come, eat some of my bread,Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
6 - Leave your simple ways, and live.Walk in the way of understanding."
7 - He who corrects a mocker invites insult.He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

15 - To call to those who pass by,who go straight on their ways,

17 - "Stolen water is sweet.Food eaten in secret is pleasant."
