1  ^vWisdom has built her house;

she has hewn her ^wseven ^xpillars.

2  She has ^yslaughtered her beasts; she has ^zmixed her wine;

she has also ^aset her table.

3  She has ^bsent out her young women to ^ccall

from ^dthe highest places in the town,

4  ^e“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”

^fTo him who lacks sense she says,

5  “Come, ^geat of my bread

and ^hdrink of ^zthe wine I have mixed.

6  Leave ⁱyour simple ways,¹ and ^jlive,

^kand walk in the way of insight.”
