8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went
on the path to her bayit,
9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark
night:
10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of
a harlot, and a subtle lev.
11 She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay in her
bayit:
12 Now is she outside, in the streets, and lies in wait at
every corner.
13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with a
hardened face said to him,
14 I have shalom offerings with me; this day have I paid
my vows.
15 Therefore I came forth to meet you, diligently to seek
your face, and I have found you.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with
carved works, with fine linen of Mitzrayim.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and
cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of ahava until the morning:
let us delight ourselves with ahava.
19 For my husband is not at home, he is gone on a long
journey:
20 He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come
home on the day of the full moon.
21 With her many words she caused him to yield, with the
flattering of her lips she seduces him.
22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the
slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the prison;
23 Until a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird rushing
to the trap that did not know it would take his chayim.
24 Listen to me now, O you children of Yisrael, and pay
attention to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your lev sink down to her halachot, go not
astray in her halachot.
26 For she has cast down many wounded: yes, many
strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her bayit is the derech of Sheol, going down to the
rooms of death.
Does not chochmah call? 3986 8
And binah lift her
voice?
2 She stands in the top of the heights; between the paths
she has taken her stand.
3 She utters at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the
coming in at the doors.
4 To you, O men, I call; and My voice is to the sons of
men.
5 O you simple, understand chochmah: and, you fools, be
of a binah lev.
6 Listen; for I will speak of excellent things; and the
opening of My lips shall be right things.
7 For My mouth shall speak emet; and wickedness is an
abomination to My lips.
8 All the words of My mouth are in tzedakah; there is
nothing perverted, or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understands, and right to
them that find da’at.
10 Receive My discipline, and not silver; and da’at rather
than choice gold.
11 For chochmah is better than rubies; and all the things
that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12 I, chochmah, dwell with insight, and find out da’at
and foresight.
13 The fear of vuvh is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance,
and the evil derech, and the perverted mouth, that do I
hate.
14 Counsel is Mine, and sound chochmah: I am binah; I
have strength.
15 By Me melechim reign, and rulers decree tzedakah.
16 By Me rulers rule, and nobles, even all the shophtim of
the earth.
17 I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early
shall find me.
18 Riches and honor are with Me; yes, durable riches and
tzedakah.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; and
My revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the path of tzedakah, in the midst of the paths
of mishpat:
21 That I may cause those that love Me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 vuvh possessed Me in the beginning of His derech,
before His works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
before the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when
there were no fountains abounding with mayim.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was
I brought forth:
26 While as yet He had not made the earth, or the fields,
or the highest part of the dust of the olam.
27 When He prepared the shamayim, I was there: when
He set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When He established the clouds above: when He
strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When He gave to the sea His decree, that the mayim
should not pass His commandment: when He appointed
the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I
was daily His delight, having gilah always before Him;
31 Having gilah in the habitable part of His earth; and
My delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore listen to Me, O you children of Yisrael:
for blessed are they that shomer My halachot. 3987
33 Hear discipline, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that listens to Me, watching daily at
My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors.
35 For whoever finds Me finds chayim, and shall obtain
favor from vuvh.
36 But he that sins against Me wrongs his own being: all
they that hate Me love death.

Chochmah has built her bayit; she has cut out its seven
pillars:
2 She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she
has also furnished her shulchan.
3 She has sent forth her young women: she utters upon
the highest places of the city,
4 Who is simple, let him turn in here: as for him that
wants binah, she says to him,
5 Come, eat of my lechem, and drink of the wine that I
have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the derech of
binah.
