91 Wisdom has built her house , She has hewn out her seven pillars ; 2 She has prepared her food , she has mixed her wine ; She has also set her table ; 3 She has sent out her maidens , she calls From the tops of the heights of the city : 4 " Whoever is naive , let him turn in here !" To him who lacks understanding she says , 5 "Come , eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed . 6 "Forsake your folly and live , And proceed in the way of understanding ." 7 He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer , or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser , Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning . 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom , And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding . 11 For by me your days will be multiplied , And years of life will be added to you. 12 If you are wise , you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff , you alone will bear it.
13 The woman of folly is boisterous , She is naive and knows nothing e . 14 She sits at the doorway of her house , On a seat by the high places of the city , 15 Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight : 16 " Whoever is naive , let him turn in here ," And to him who lacks understanding she says , 17 "Stolen water is sweet ; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant ." 18 But he does not know that the dead are there , That her guests are in the depths of Sheol .
