1 Wisdom has built her house
3,4 She calls from the tops of the heights of the city: ‘Whoever is ignorant, simple, let him turn in here!’ To him who lacks understanding she says:
6 ‘Forsake your folly and live, and proceed in the way of understanding.’
13 The woman Folly is loud, brash: she is undisciplined, shameless, and knows nothing,
15,16 Calling to those who pass by, who are making their paths straight: ‘Whoever is ignorant, simple, let him turn in here.’ And to him who lacks understanding she says:
17 ‘Stolen water is sweeter; and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.’
18 But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Hell.
