\q
|
|
\v 1 Wisdom has built her own house;
|
|
\q she has carved seven pillars out of rocks.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 She has prepared her animals to serve for dinner; she has mixed her wine;
|
|

|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|

|
|

|
|
\q from the highest point of the city:
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 "Let those who are untaught come in here!"
|
|
\q she says to those who have no sense.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites abuse,
|
|
\q and whoever reproves a wicked person will be hurt.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Do not reprove a mocker, or he will hate you;
|
|
\q reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Give instructions to a wise man, and he will become wiser still;
|
|
\q teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
|
|
|
|

\q and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 For through me your days will be multiplied,
|
|
\q and years added to your life.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
|
|
\q but if you mock, you will carry it alone."
|
|

|
\q that her guests are in the depths of sheol.
