Wisdom and unreason. Appeal to wisdom

(Proverbs 1:1-7)
1
Wisdom builds her own house, just like a woman who has built her home; she made seven pillars to support the roof of her house.
2
She prepared a meal and set her table; she prepared the animals and cooked them to serve for the dinner, and she made the wine ready for her guests.
3
Like a woman who sends out her maids to give the invitations to her guests, Wisdom calls out from the highest place in the city for all to hear, and she says:
4
“If you are still immature, come here,” and she gives the invitation to those who have no good judgment.
5
“Come and eat the food that I have prepared,” she says, “and drink the good wine that I have mixed.
6
Leave your untrained ways behind you, and live, and I will show you how to walk on the road that will give you understanding.

Exhortation to wisdom

7
If you rebuke someone who says insulting things about other people, he will insult you, too. If you offer correction to an evil person, he will hurt you.
8
A person who insults others will hate you if you tell him to stop. But if you rebuke a wise person, he will become your friend.
9
If you give instruction to a wise person, he will become even more wise. And if you teach a person who does what is right, he will learn even more.
10
The first step in getting wisdom is to give Yahweh the respect he deserves, and knowing Yahweh, the Holy One, is where understanding comes from.
11
If you become wise, your days will be filled full, and you will add years to your life.
12
If you become wise, you will gain many benefits from it; if you ridicule other people, you will suffer by yourself.”

Calling of the reckless woman

13
A foolish woman talks loudly; she is untaught in the subjects of wisdom and she knows very little.
14
She sits at the door of her house or on the highest place in the town,
15
and she calls out to the men who are passing by, to those walking down the road, concerned only about where they are going.
16
“Any of you who have no experience, come here,” she says to those who have no good judgment.
17
“If you sleep with me, it will be as sweet as drinking water that you have stolen, or eating delicious food all by yourself.”
18
Any man who accepts her invitation does not know that the dead are in her home, that those who accepted her invitation and went into her house are now in the world of the dead.

Wisdom and unreason. Appeal to wisdom

(Proverbs 1:1-7)
1
Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.
2
She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.
3
She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:
4
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
5
“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
6
Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”

Exhortation to wisdom

7
One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
8
Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
9
Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.
10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11
For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
12
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

Calling of the reckless woman

13
The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing.
14
She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15
to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,
16
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
17
“Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18
But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.(a)
