Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

³ May the Eternal grant you His blessing from Zion,
    God, the weaver of heaven and earth.

³²     So now listen to me, my children:
        those who live by my ways will find true happiness.
³³     Pay attention to my guidance, dare to be wise,
        and don’t disregard my teachings.
³⁴     The one who listens to me,
        who carefully seeks me in everyday things
        and delays action until my way is apparent, that one will find true happiness.
³⁵     For when he recognizes and follows me, he finds a peaceful and satisfying life
        and receives favor from the Eternal.
³⁶     But heed my warning: the one who goes against me will only hurt himself,
        for all who despise me are playing with fire and courting death.

9 Lady Wisdom has built her house;
    she has supported it with seven pillars.
² She’s prepared a feast:
    She’s slaughtered her animals, poured a spiced wine,
    and set her table.
³ She has sent out her servants with the invitation to come to the party;
    she, too, calls out from the highest point of the city:

⁴ Lady Wisdom: Whoever is young and gullible, turn in here.
        You are welcome in this place!

Then, turning to those who are naive, she says:

⁵ Lady Wisdom: Come in. Come, eat my bread,
        and drink my spiced wine.
⁶     Give up your gullible ways, your naive thoughts, for true life.
        Set your course for understanding.
