| 1 | Wisdom has built her house; she has carved its seven columns. | 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 prepared a great banquet, mixed the wines, and set the 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 her servants to invite everyone to come. She calls out from the heights overlooking the city. | 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 | “Come in with me,” she urges the simple. To those who lack good judgment, she says, | “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 my food, and drink the wine I have mixed. | “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 | Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.” | 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 | Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt. | 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 | So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they 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. | |
