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 female servants; she calls out from the highest points of the city:
4. “Whoever is inexperienced, enter here! ”To the one who lacks sense, she says,
5. “Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine I have mixed.
6. Leave inexperience behind, and you will live;pursue the way of understanding.
7. The one who corrects a mockerwill bring dishonor on himself;the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.
8. Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9. Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.
