VIN(i)
1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn 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 "Let whoever is naïve, turn in here." To anyone lacking sense, she says,
5 "Come! Eat my food, and drink the wine that 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 rebuke a mocker or he will hate you. Rebuke a wise person, and he will love you.
9 Counsel a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will add to his learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For because of me you will live a long life, and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will assist you. If you mock, you alone will be held responsible.
13 The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and without knowledge.
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 gullible, turn in here! - and to whoever lacks heart, she says,
17 "Stolen waters are sweet, and food eaten in secret is delicious."
18 But he doesn't know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
