WISDOM hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017298">2</a>. She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017299">3</a>. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017300">4</a>. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017301">5</a>. Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017302">6</a>. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017303">7</a>. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017304">8</a>. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017305">9</a>. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017306">10</a>. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017307">11</a>. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017308">12</a>. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017309">13</a>. A foolish woman is clamourous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017310">14</a>. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017311">15</a>. To call passengers who go right on their ways:</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017313">17</a>. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017314">18</a>. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.</li>
