9 ^(A)Wisdom has built her house;
    she has hewn her ^(B)seven ^(C)pillars.
² She has ^(D)slaughtered her beasts; she has ^(E)mixed her wine;
    she has also ^(F)set her table.
³ She has ^(G)sent out her young women to ^(H)call
    from ^(I)the highest places in the town,
^4 (J)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    ^(K)To him who lacks sense she says,
⁵ “Come, ^(L)eat of my bread
    and ^(M)drink of ^(N)the wine I have mixed.
⁶ Leave ^(O)your simple ways,^[a] and ^(P)live,
    ^(Q)and walk in the way of insight.”

^13 (A)The woman Folly is ^(B)loud;
    she is seductive^[a] and ^(C)knows nothing.
¹⁴ She sits at the door of her house;
    she takes a seat on ^(D)the highest places of the town,
¹⁵ calling to those who pass by,
    who are ^(E)going straight on their way,
^16 (F)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    And to him who lacks sense she says,
^17 (G)“Stolen water is sweet,
    and ^(H)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But he does not know ^(I)that the dead^[b] are there,
    that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
