Proverbs 9

Invitations of Wisdom and of Folly

 ¹ Wisdom has built her house;
       she has hewn out its seven pillars.

 ² She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
       she has also set her table.

 ³ She has sent out her maids, and she calls
       from the highest point of the city.

 ⁴ "Let all who are simple come in here!"
       she says to those who lack judgment.

 ⁵ "Come, eat my food
       and drink the wine I have mixed.

 ⁶ Leave your simple ways and you will live;
       walk in the way of understanding.
