9 Wisdom has built her house;
    she has hewn her seven pillars.^(A)
2 She has slaughtered her animals; she has mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.^(B)
3 She has sent out her female servants; she calls
    from the highest places in the town,^(C)
4 “You who are simple, turn in here!”
    To those without sense she says,^(D)
5 “Come, eat of my bread
    and drink of the wine I have mixed.^(E)
6 Lay aside immaturity and live,
    and walk in the way of insight.”^(F)

¹³ The foolish woman is loud;
    she is ignorant and knows nothing.^(A)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
    on a seat at the high places of the town,
¹⁵ calling to those who pass by,
    who are going straight on their way,
¹⁶ “You who are simple, turn in here!”
    And to those without sense she says,
¹⁷ “Stolen water is sweet,
    and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”^(B)
18 But they do not know that the dead^[a] are there,
    that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.^(C)
