NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:1 Wisdom hath builded her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars:1 Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars. 1 Wisdom hath builded her house, She hath hewn out her pillars -- seven.
2 She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table;2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.2 She hath killed her beasts; She hath mingled her wine; She hath also furnished her table:2 She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table. 2 She hath slaughtered her slaughter, She hath mingled her wine, Yea, she hath arranged her table.
3 She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the tops of the heights of the city:3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,3 She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth upon the highest places of the city:3 She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city: 3 She hath sent forth her damsels, She crieth on the tops of the high places of the city:
4 "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks understanding she says,4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,4 Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said: 4 Who is simple? let him turn aside hither.' Whoso lacketh heart: she hath said to him,
5 "Come, eat of my food And drink of the wine I have mixed.5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.5 Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.5 Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you. 5 'Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have mingled.

6 "Forsake your folly and live, And proceed in the way of understanding."6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.6 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.6 Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence. 6 Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.
7 He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.7 He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man getteth himself a blot.7 He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot. 7 The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it -- shame, And a reprover of the wicked -- his blemish.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you.8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.8 Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.8 Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.9 Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it. 9 Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increaseth learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence. 10 The commencement of wisdom is the fear of Jehovah, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones is understanding.
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
11 For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.11 For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee. 11 For by me do thy days multiply, And added to thee are years of life.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you alone will bear it.12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.12 If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil. 12 If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself, And thou hast scorned -- thyself bearest it.
13 The woman of folly is boisterous, She is naive and knows nothing.13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.13 The foolish woman is clamorous;'she is'simple, and knoweth nothing.13 A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all, 13 A foolish woman is noisy, Simple, and hath not known what.
14 She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high places of the city,14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,14 And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city,14 Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city, 14 And she hath sat at the opening of her house, On a throne -- the high places of the city,
15 Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:15 To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:15 To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey: 15 To call to those passing by the way, Who are going straight on their paths.
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
16 "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here," And to him who lacks understanding she says,16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; And as for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,16 He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said: 16 Who is simple? let him turn aside hither.' And whoso lacketh heart -- she said to him,
17 "Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant."17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.17 Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.17 Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant. 17 'Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden bread is pleasant.'
18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.18 And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. The Parables of Solomon 18 And he hath not known that Rephaim are there, In deep places of Sheol her invited ones!
