1 “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn [carved] out her seven pillars: 2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. 3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth [cries out] upon the highest places of the city, 4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth [lacks] understanding, she saith to him, 5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled [mixed]. 6 Forsake the foolish [foolishness], and live; and go in the way of understanding.
