1 Wisdom builded an house to himself; he hewed out seven pillars,
2 he offered his slain sacrifices, he meddled [or mingled] wine, and setted [or set] forth his table.
3 He sent his handmaids, that they should call to the tower; and to the walls of the city.
4 If any man is little in wit, come he to me. And wisdom spake to unwise men,
5 Come ye, eat ye my bread; and drink ye the wine, which I have meddled [or mingled] to you.
6 Forsake ye young childhood, and live ye; and go ye by the way of prudence.
10 The beginning of wisdom is the dread of the Lord; and prudence is the knowing of saints.
