Solomon Teaches about Wisdom and the Fool

 
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. +
8 
Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you.Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 
Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser.Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. +

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. +
11 
For by me your days will be multiplied.The years of your life will be increased. +
12 
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself.If you mock, you alone will bear it. +
13 
The foolish woman is loud,undisciplined, and knows nothing. +
14 
She sits at the door of her house,on a seat in the high places of the city, +
15 
To call to those who pass by,who go straight on their ways, +
16 
"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
17 
"Stolen water is sweet.Food eaten in secret is pleasant." +
18 
But he doesn't know that the departed spirits are there,that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. +
