| 1 | WISDOM has built her house, she has set up in it seven pillars; | Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars. | Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars. | |
| 2 | She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also prepared her table. | She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table. | She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. | |
| 3 | She has sent forth her servants to cry out upon the highest places and say, | She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town, | She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, | |
| 4 | Whosoever is simple, let him come to me; as for him who lacks understanding, she said to him, | “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says, | “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says, | |
| 5 | Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine which I have mingled. | “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. | “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. | |
| 6 | Forsake folly, and live; and go in the way of understanding. | Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.” | Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.” | |
| 7 | Correction for a bad man brings disgrace; the wicked man is rebuked by his own blemish. | Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. | Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. | |
| 8 | Reprove not a bad man, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. | Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. | Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. | |
| 9 | Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. | Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. | |
