1 Wisdom has built her house; she has prepared its seven pillars. 2 She has slaughtered her animals for meat; she has mixed her wine; and she has set her table. 3 She has sent out her servant girls with invitations. She calls out from the highest places of the town, 4 “Everybody who needs to learn, come and see me!” To people who don't have any sense she says, 5 “Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your foolish ways and you will live; follow the path that makes sense.” 7 If you correct a mocker all you get are insults; if you argue with the wicked all you get is abuse. 8 So don't argue with mockers or they'll only hate you; argue with the wise and they'll love you. 9 Educate the wise and they'll become even wiser; teach those who live right and they will increase their learning. 10 Honoring the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; knowledge of the Holy One brings insight. 11 Through wisdom you'll have many more days, increasing the years of your life. 12 If you are wise, you are the one to profit from it; if you scoff, you alone will have to suffer the consequences. 13 Stupidity is like a loud, ignorant woman who doesn't know anything. 14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the town, 15 calling out to those passing by, going about their business, 16 “Everybody who needs to learn, come and see me!” To people who don't have any sense she says, 17 “Stolen water is sweet, and food eaten in secret tastes good!” 18 But they don't know that the dead are there, that those she's invited are in the depths of the grave.

Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
Now, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;" the sense of sin leads to repentance, and God bestows His compassion upon those who are penitent.
Woe, woe, by what steps was I dragged down "to the depths of hell!" --toiling and turmoiling through want of Truth, when I sought after Thee, my God,--to Thee I confess it, who hadst mercy on me when I had not yet confessed,--sought after Thee not according to the understanding of the mind, in which Thou desiredst that I should …

With respect to the star, we have said these things, and yet more perhaps may be said by you; for, it is said, "Give occasion to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:" but we must now come to the beginning of what hath been read.

I came upon that bold woman, who "is simple, and knoweth nothing," the enigma of Solomon, sitting "at the door of the house on a seat," and saying, "Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant." This woman seduced me, because she found my soul beyond its portals, dwelling in the eye of my flesh, and thinking …
