- Wisdom has built a house for herself. She has hewn seven columns
- She has immolated her victims. She has mixed her wine and set forth her table
- She has sent her maids to call out to the tower and to the fortified walls of the city
- “If anyone is little, let him come to me.” And to the unwise, she has said
- “Approach. Eat my bread, and drink the wine that I have mixed for you
- Leave behind childishness. And live and walk by the ways of prudence.
- Whoever teaches a mocker causes injury to himself. And whoever argues with the impious produces a blemish on himself
- Do not be willing to argue with a mocker, lest he hate you. Dispute with the wise, and he will love you
- Present an opportunity to the wise, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach the just, and he will hurry to receive it
- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holiness is prudence
- For by me, your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you
- If you would be wise, you will be so for yourself. But if you would be one who ridicules, you alone shall carry the evil
- A foolish and loud woman, who is full of enticements and who knows nothing at all
- sat at the entrance of her house on a seat, in a high place of the city
- so as to call to those who were passing by the way and continuing on their journey
- “Whoever is little, let him turn aside to me.” And to the frenzied, she said
- “Stolen waters are more soothing, and secret bread is more pleasant.
- And he did not know that giants are there, and that her companions are in the depths of Hell
