2	טָבְחָ֣ה טִ֭בְחָהּ מָסְכָ֣ה יֵינָ֑הּ אַ֝֗ף עָֽרְכָ֥ה שֻׁלְחָנָֽהּ׃	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.

4	מִי־ פֶ֭תִי יָסֻ֣ר הֵ֑נָּה חֲסַר־ לֵ֝֗ב אָ֣מְרָה לּֽוֹ׃	“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	לְ֭כוּ לַחֲמ֣וּ בְֽלַחֲמִ֑י וּ֝שְׁת֗וּ בְּיַ֣יִן מָסָֽכְתִּי׃	“Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.	“Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.

8	אַל־ תּ֣וֹכַח לֵ֭ץ פֶּן־ יִשְׂנָאֶ֑ךָּ הוֹכַ֥ח לְ֝חָכָ֗ם וְיֶאֱהָבֶֽךָּ׃	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	תֵּ֣ן לְ֭חָכָם וְיֶחְכַּם־ ע֑וֹד הוֹדַ֥ע לְ֝צַדִּ֗יק וְי֣וֹסֶף לֶֽקַח׃ פ	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.
